It could be because a toddler point of view wouldn't be very much fun to read.

Hah. No doubt. They've done a good job of adjusting ages upwards on the tv series.

At this point in the story, he has to be 7 or 8, and that is what Arya supposedly was in the books when we started getting her POVs.

It's just a crackpot theory. Either way, I just have a feeling that Rickon has a bigger role to play than has been shown so far, otherwise why have him in the story at all?

So Osha can wait till he's of age and have his child and become Queen in the North.

Alright, this week's project (I'm mostly off work) will be re-watching all of seasons 1 and 2 and then season 3 to date (haven't watched an ep so far), hopefully finished in time for Rains of Castamere.

Whip out dat Dragonglass!

Also...they have whitewashed the heck out of Tyrion.

LMAO

Maybe fat boy will run back and pick up that dragon glass...pretty important item at this point, I'd say.

This season has been ****ing boring. Am I alone in this??

Not boring to me.

Any episode with Dany naked is a good episode!!

Nope.

Good thing shit starts epically hitting the fan in 3...2...1....

Haven't found it boring at all, but this next one gonna be good.

It has been, they're jumping around way too much for no good reason. Honestly they could try and cover 2 POVs per episode and completely leave the other ones out. There isn't enough time for each POV to get a feel or to put in more information relative to the plot. S1 was the way to do it.

I think the plotlines in the first two books were much simpler, and the show is struggling to keep viewers informed on so many different stories going on at the same time. They are already cutting plots by week, we didn't see any Theon (thankfully), Jon or Robb. This is the first time we've seen Sam in quite awhile. I think they're worried that if they go half a season without a character, viewers will forget who they are when they show them again.

It will be interesting to see what they do with books 4 and 5, because the plot certainly doesn't get any simpler.
