Just like the book...there's just too much going on to cover in one hour. So it's a 'boring' or a bad episode if something jaw dropping doesn't happen? Even if the show was 2 hours long, spent the first half on one continent, then the second hour on the other and just plowed through everything...people would still complain right?
I was entertained for an hour. mission accomplished for me.

Winter is coming: "A Game of Thrones" HBO Series
they revealed HUGE secrets wtf else u want. go read the book if uhave complaints. and then u will see how dead on this series is. much better then anything ever before it from book to screen
lol, the series veered from the books in season 2. Almost everything is completely different now.

I'm not wasting my time with a fanboy like you.
I don't know how anyone can say the episode sucked...
Watching it a second time, I think my big problem with the episode is the schizophrenic pacing. Too many character jumps doesn't allow the episode to get any momentum.
I still want to stress that a "Bad" Game of Thrones episode is still leagues better than anything else on television in this post-Breaking Bad world we live in.

Now you're just being a ***. Perhaps you should read the post I was responding too? I think it came from a 10 year old.

The person that is actually correct >.>!
Shiva.Viciousss said: » The person that is actually correct >.>! Fair enough I suppose. What has been changed? very small details that change nothing in the plot? i dont think u have read the books.
u know nothing viciousss.
see what i did there? probly not cause u didnt read the books Viciousss was exaggerating to be sure, but there are some pretty radical changes. Just off the top of my head, Talisa Stark, Night's King, Jaime's Return.
None of those are small details I'd say. Small details would be stuff like Replacing Ilyn Payne as Jaime's trainer, the Character of Ros, and Daario killing the Champion of Mareen, instead of the other character I can't remember (Who doesn't even appear at all anyway) Carbuncle.Lunk said: » Shiva.Viciousss said: » lol, the series veered from the books in season 2. Almost everything is completely different now. umm i guess u havnt really read the books lmao. nothing major has been changed. god half the lines are directly out of the books Wow, have you read the books? How can you even say that? I can nitpick over a hundred things, both small and immensely huge that are completely different from what's happened in the books. Few huge standout things that immediately pop to mind: Like most movies/tv shows that are made from books, it follows a general line that's vaguely like the original story and that's about it. That being said, I still think it's really well done and fun to watch, and can understand for the most part the majority of the changes they made. Trying to say it's similar to the books is kinda silly though =p

For the record, I haven't read the books. I do my research though, because I have only a dozen *** friends who like to blurt out when something is different.
I just thought I had to clear that up because re-reading my posts it kinda sounded like I was trying to pass myself off like that. Well, this entire episode was pretty much made up so I'd count that as a big change. Not that this matter much since it's apparent the two mediums are approaching similar narratives just in different ways.
I liked this episode much more than the last few. Feast for Crows wasn't the most rip-roaring literary ride, but the character work here was really endearing, especially Arya's scenes with the Hound. Plot-wise, though, it didn't really go anywhere. Just more place-setting.

I was a little sad they didn't let Jon and Brandon re-unite, although I'm not really sure what would have happened next. What was the point of changing from the book and letting him know about Brandon if he was never gonna see him!
At any rate, assuming no major changes, prepare for some pretty fun/satisfying 'holy ***!' moments that should be coming up in the next few episodes. Saw this today, made me giggle a little

Unless I'm remembering wrong they're now mixing stuff from later books into this season, aren't they?

Don't want to put too much up since some people might not watch the EST showing if they're on the west coast. But seriously, a handful of lines from Dinklage goes a long way.

Some collateral man *** is to be expected though. |
