Michelle Fairley of course played Catelyn Stark. Tim Plester played Black Walder. 2+2=4...

Please lord let this happen.

Because it seemed obvious to have been cut, and I'm still not sure that picture isn't fake.

How is it "Holy ****" when a twist we all know is going to happen is confirmed to be happening?

Also, she has done nothing exciting in the books so far...she has like 2 scenes where she blows air out of her neck...so amazing!

I've been reading the Dunk and Egg series of prequels and they're pretty good. Plus it fills the time until Winds of Winter comes out.

[Dai the Fish]

[regexcellent]

That's been kiboshed by the author. It was just a mistake.

And he got enough **** for it that he had to respond .

Ugh, you can't be serious. How would that even work in a TV show? There's no way to work all of the heraldry and stuff into the show and actually have, you know, plot things happen. Books can't be adapted that slavishly to the screen.

Still the worse for it. Loses a lot that makes the world what it is.

For one, immediately kibboshing anything to do with heraldry makes the show folks not give a crap about the interesting history that would explain a lot more of what you see on screen (ie, never explaining the Blackfyre Rebellion means the guy in the tree at the end of the last season is just some guy... rather than Lord Bloodraven and all that that means).

Or did he? The speculation is that Jaime saw an impostor, not the actual Jeyne.

The mom would have to be in on it since she was there. That isn't a huge stretch, I suppose but how do you get everyone else in the castle to play along without even on person spilling the beans.
