A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

Hmmm...

Spoiler:

I liked the book way for the scheming of Littlefinger. I like the idea that at the wedding of Harold Hardyng and "Alayne" that Littlefinger will announce that Alayne is actually Sansa. That way, also, Kings Landing is in the dark a bit longer. After all, if Sansa is unveiled, KL is going to be sending some troops... well, maybe they'll have Jaime go to the Vale instead of the Riverlands - but then we'll miss seeing the Blackfish again. So I don't like the butterfly effect on this change, tbh

Spoiler:

She reveals herself to the Lords Declarant when the come to the Eyrie; she says Petyr saved her, and that Lysa threatened to kill her but Petyr saved her, and tried to talk Lysa out of killing herself, but failed. As a result, Petyr becomes a bit more open in trying to unite the Vale against the Lannisters.

Spoiler:

She tells the Lords of the Vale who she really is, which makes Littlefinger look like a big ****ing hero to them for saving her. So instead of the Lords Declarant being like "you get a year" after Lyn Corbray draws his sword (because LF pays him to), LF just has their loyalty from the start. A much better move. Sansa then lies to them and tells them that Lysa commits suicide--this is how they handled Marillion not being there. It actually seems more slick this way.

So, someone tell me in spoiler box - what do they change for Sansa?

[regexcellent]

Sansa: big change from the books but actually I kinda like it. The book version felt a little contrived.

The fight ****ing OWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNED! IT WAS PERFECT.

I killed her screaming whelp. Then I smashed her ****ing head in. LIKE THIS!

does it end differently than the books?

The fight scene was as true to the books as it is possible to be, down to the manner in which Gregor kills Oberyn.

Brunette suits her well.

As for the duel... WELP.

[Felch]

Sansa's scene was great.

Eeegods, you are dense.

#1: I personally LOVE that other theory, but it is totally irrelevant one way or the other.

#2: Really? Really? That's your sticking point?

If you've read more than three thousand posts into a thread about GoT, you should have also read the damn books by now.

Amen, you useless ****s.

My prediction: Oberyn Martell seduces the Mountain with his red viper.

We need a :WTF: smilie.

[ColdWizard]

Apolyton hasn't taught me that one yet...

[Felch]

He's clearly a twunk.

[ColdWizard]

Does that make the Mountain a power bottom?
