Game of Thrones *Spoiler* Thread
There's been some recent confusion with the old spoiler thread, so I'm kicking off a new one for tonight's premiere. This is going to be the one for folks who've read all the books. So anything anybody might want to talk about is in bounds. Suffice to say, if you haven't read the books, you'll probably want to stay out of here until you do...
I'll bump the old spoiler-free thread shortly in case anybody's interested. For future reference the link to that one is here |

Speaking of Vargo Hoat, I wonder how (or even if) they're going to have the Lannisters lose Harrenhall. And if he's not part of the show, how will Jamie lose his hand? That's too important an event in his character development not to happen. On a different note, having Tywin be more of a sympathetic character now, with his back-and-forth with Arya, I'm not sure how much of an impact that will have to people's reaction to his betrayal with Shae and then Tyrion's killing him. That was one of my cheer moments in the book, but Tywin doesn't seem quite the bad guy in the show as he does in the books. Of course they can fix that once he's in King's Landing. |

I'm in the spoiler section talking about it on purpose. What is your problem with what I said? |

I haven't watched in about 2 weeks. I just don't wanna see Ygritte die or I might go jump off a bridge. I almost cried when I read that.

On a related note, I'm gonna guess that they pretend Tyrion's dead at the end of the next episode. They need a big surprising cliffhanger, and that seems like it'd do the trick. Couple that with the fact that he's not mentioned in the next episode's summary... |

They also mentioned Podrick for the first time in my recollection in the series yesterday. So I am guessing that he will be with Tyrion on the field like in the book, and I agree, that the episode will likely be ending with Tyrion being quite apparently doomed.

It would seem to give us a little insight into the book if he is left out of the traveling scenes. If the Hound is alive in the books and the 'death' described by the brotherhood was merely symbolic/figurative, then he'll probably have a significant role in the last 2 books - so he'll need to be developed as a character. If, OTOH, he's physically deceased, then his role in the story can probably be replaced somehow. It will take some machinations, to be sure, but it could be done without damaging the stories ability to move forward, IMO. So we may get a glimpse into how the books go based on how they treat the Sandor in the show.
