Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.
A few quick ground rules:

Tyrian got played. Agree on Mance. That dude was Ceasar on Rome and played in Political Animals. I'll give it to him. Dude can act. |

One thing that did bug me is when Stannis asked Jon What his dad would do, he said he was prisoner and blah blah blah. Mance was a deserter. Ned Stark chops his head off. See the opening scene of the series. It stinks of sloppy writing. But we haven't seen anything sloppy from these guys yet. I'm hoping it's intentional. If it's just a a tool to keep Mance alive, it's lame.

No doubt that Ned Stark would have been taking Mance Rayder to the chopping block. Robb, too. Hmmm. One of these men is still alive... surely it's just a coincidence that Starks who learn to sometimes place practicality above honor and always doing the right thing live while Starks who don't, die...

I'm wondering how Stannis knew which one was the King of the North. I can only imagine he asked directions from one of the Wildlings his army was currently brutalizing.
"Yeah, he's right over there. The scruffy looking one, unshaven with the shaggy hair. He's the one wearing all fur. Can't miss him." |

The Hound is one I always wonder about. Left for dead is not the same as dead. Maybe he's only mostly dead...mostly dead is still partly alive! GRRM is a Princess Bride fan and already paid homage with the fight scene where the Red Viper channeled Inigo Montoya. Anyway, when I see the Hound's dead body, then I'll believe it. That fight scene with the Hound and Brienne was totally kick ass though, the sheer brutality of it was great, and Brienne biting his ear off and then screaming like a crazed maniac when she pummeled him off the cliff...loved it! |

Man, the show (like book 3 does) has gone on a major killing spree the last two seasons. Some great characters...and great actors/actresses no longer on the show:
Catelyn Robb Joffrey Tywin Lisa Arryn Oberyn Ygritte Shae Jojen Lord Commander Mormont Hound?? Those are some key losses, and I will especially miss Joffrey, Tywin, Oberyn and the Hound on the show, as they were all excellent. Last edited by Hawk; 06-20-2014 at 07:56 AM.. Reason: fine, no mention of new characters for next season, even if they were already mentioned on the show |

I'm not convinced the Hound is dead. Left for dead ain't dead. But definitely hate the loss of Tywin and Oberyn. |

But Tywin dying is huge. He was basically running Westeros. Now his psycho daughter and his damaged son are in control of the country? F*******. |

If you remember it was the same scream/cry that she used when they were dragging her off to be raped when they were caught by Boltons men.
