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:
  • No Spoilers!!!!! for upcoming episodes.
  • Larger Song of Ice and Fire discussion should be limited to the other thread although I think a tiny bit of book delving to fill in holes should be okay (example of this would be talking about Catelyn and her treatment of the wolves in the novel, which was alluded to on TV but never really made clear...)
  • Everything that happened that week is fair game once an episode airs. So if you don't watch on Sunday night, I'd stay outta here until you do...

Tonight was the first time where I thought it might be better to have not read the first two books. The departure from the book went across several story lines. I have a major case of the "WTF's" and "SMH's".

Naw, a lot of it looks like someone taking a shortcut to a destination by going offroad though some farmer's field.

I think I can see where they are going with most of the differences, but the main one I hope they don't screw up is Jon Snow. He has some important scenes coming up that I really hope they don't alter completely, but it's hard to tell exactly where his changes from the book are going.

The departures from the book in several story lines were probably done to make production easier. This was mentioned in the spoiler thread and makes sense.

Can anyone give some details on the differences without giving away upcoming spoilers? I'm just curious what is actually different.

Theon is such an idiot. Hope he gets killed soon.

The Hound earned some cool points tonight.

It was great to see another epic Joffrey slap by Tyrion.

Jon Snow is going to get some wildling poon.

Also is the guy that is killing people for Arya a major story in the books? He kind of came out of nowhere.

Jaqen is a major character in the book in terms of his impact on Arya's story arc, though less in terms of his actual time in the story. He is also just one of the most memorable characters in the books.

One of the truly great things about the books is the litany of fascinating characters GRRM has created even aside from the obvious main characters. Jaqen is one of those. Another is Syrio Forel who was Arya's "dancing" instructor. Another is Yoren who snuck Arya out of Kings Landing. They all have roles to play, but some are just more memorable than others, and Jaqen is one of the best in the books.

I'll give some insight on the differences (I will put in spoiler tags for those who don;t want to know anything about book differences, but I have not included anything in these that I consider to be a spoiler):

Spoiler!

The only issue with that is they (people who have read the books) don't know where production is going with the tv show any hints might later spoil the show without intention. Yes I am watching the show over, hence the old english speech.

Edit: in regards to filling in the differences between the drastic change the show has taken from the books

My thought is this: like how lost would recap the same time frame from a different perspective to extend the show, why would the makers of this tv show limit the ability to gain more money by making seasons that fill in the blanks. Be careful what you request and what is leaked; they could easily go back in time and supply the answers given.
