I don't think I've ever been this shocked watching a show. Lucretia, Oenamus dying in Spartacus pales in front of what happened in Game of Thrones.

I'm too lazy but you could probably find in this thread where I hit this part of the books. I was strongly considering putting the book down and quitting. Robb's story in the books was more of a side story, the tv show made him seem too much of a main character. I'm glad I stuck with it and kept reading.
not really a spoiler but whatever

I agree about the wolves, they're far less interesting and used in the show. But I imagine that has to do either with cost or insurance/risk reasons. I mean, to be honest it's hard to tell if the wolves used are real or CGI at times. If CGI, that's expensive. If real, that's risky for actors and potentially time-consuming to get correct. I imagine it's entirely a cost decision. Unfortunate, since it's vastly intriguing in the books to compare the Stark kids and their dogs and such; adding another dimension of mystery and trying to predict what happens to one's fave characters.

I think it just has to do with how we only saw Robb from other characters, and I think only had a handful of chapters centered on him. The show has done him good service (both in the writing but also the actor and those around him). |

Oh you're right. And I just found out there's a wikia site about all of this, which makes things so much easier to keep track of: Direwolves - Game of Thrones Wiki

I haven't posted in awhile because I would sound like a broken record; the screenwriters and George R.R. Martin are doing an excellent job with the TV series. The Red Wedding was exceptionally well done.
It is my fondest wish that Arya and Nymeria get back together at some point and get medieval on some people's a$$es. I have the feeling that they will hire some really hot actresses to portray Oberyn Martell's bastard daughters, which I am really looking forward to. The way things are going they will probably condense a lot of the long-winded stuff in A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons into a more eminently more watchable version for the HBO series. Kudos HBO! I love the discussions I am having with the non-reading Throneheads about the Red Wedding episode... |
