    • So... I'm guessing Littlefinger did in fact see Arya, but is keeping it under his hat for now.

      • Saw that episode today on a friend's computer. Anyone else getting the sense that Arya is the child Tywin wishes he had? He actually seems to like her.

        • Arya should have revealed her identity to Tywin. Bish, bash, bosh, traded for Jaime.

          The author does allow his characters to do dumb things - particularly if they're named Catelyn and have Stark as a surname. However, sometimes he allows large groups to be pretty dumb. The 'Night Watch' and their little jaunt beyond 'The Wall' suggests a complete failure of intelligence.

          I've got to avoid spoilers, but lets just say that the author hates pretty much all his characters.

                I also wonder, long term, if Arya will marry that black smith bastard heir and end up queen.

                • That would be adorable. The whole "as m'lady commands" thing reminded me of A Princess Bride. "As you wish!"

                    I decided to read that section of the book--I think that the way the show is doing things is just so much more straightforward and better. They've taken a lot of liberties with Arya's journey but I think the changes are for the best.

                      This is a raging debate among my fiends - readers and non-readers both.
                      I think LF recognizes her and files that knowledge away as a chip for later.
                      But given how they have dumbed down LF from the books, maybe not.

                      • Other than his pushing-Cersei-too-far scene, how has LF been dumbed down?

                          haha, he has been dumbed down? Yikes, I'd hate to see the book version of him.

                          • LF openly outs Renly at the tournament.
                            He micro-manages his brothels.
                            He tries to woo Cat after betraying her husband.
                            He gets into ****ing contests with Varys

                              Littlefinger really is a political genius in the books. He's the character thinking 5 moves ahead.

                              (Of course Varys is thinking 6 moves ahead)

                                I never understood this part either. What could they accomplish by all going out that a small scouting group could not accomplish better?

                                They have a huge magical wall, and they decide to go freeze their ass in a wilderness that their enemies know better with possibly some weird evil magical creatures lurking around. As far as I know,they don't even know where they are going.
