Game of Thrones [TV] Master Thread

[bojangles1987]

That's how I feel about it... if the book was so great why didn't this thread exist before the tv series started.

Because a hell of a lot more people watch a series on HBO then read a series of fantasy books.

Also, Blackfish Tully got away in time, right?

He left the hall to take a piss just before the lockdown,
and isn't shown getting killed in the vicinity, despite the
carnage reaching out beyond the banquet hall.

Ep.9 is very interesting because divergences from the
books are richly promising:

A pregnant Queen 'Talisa' is there. The Blackfish is there.
The band starts playing a Lannister anthem (the episode
title) just before the carnage begins. Roose tells Robb
"The Lannisters sends their regards", rather than merely
passing on Jamie's greeting, etc, etc.

It allows a more-focused show in the future, than would a
more 'faithful' retell: The Lannisters more-explicitly as THE
grand orchestrators, rather than the potentially-confusing
political free-for-all with so many factions in the books.

The band plays Rains of Castamere in the books as well. Just like the show, that's when Catelyn realizes something is up.

The biggest change, especially for book readers, was Robb's wife being there. That probably kills a lot of theories book readers have.

You caught me on re-edit too.
I was overeager, piling on the show's attempts to focus its
viewers towards perceiving a Lannister conspiracy. A lot of
'loose-end distractions' (in a context of compact TV-show
scripting and humongous production cost) were all tied off
in episode 9.

The biggest change, especially for book readers, was Robb's wife being there. That probably kills a lot of theories book readers have.

If the theory is out there GRRM will kill it, lol.
HBO may have provided him an opportunity to retroactively
kill one, in an alternate-universe sort of way.

If you're talking about Robbwind, then I have it too. I can't believe they got the balls to leave it in for ep. 10.
