ultron87 said:(all books)The importance that the book puts on Ned's promise makes me think that they absolutely have to include this scene in some form or another. Especially since it is probably a key piece of evidence to the identity of Jon's parents.
Basileus777 said:Maybe they think they can get away with explaining it later. It's not relevant for what, at least another 5 seasons of the show?
bengraven said:Ep 7 (book 1 as well):Not sure if I like the scene with Jaime and Tywin. Tywin is a lot more of a disappointed father rather than a cold hearted bastard. Maybe it's because this is a new scene and we don't see the two together in book 1 and Tywin likes Jaime. But he also likes his daughter and was fairly cold and firm around her.
This is more like a kid coming home from school to find his dad gutting a deer and Tywin is like "Jaime, I heard you got a B- on your test...don't ever let that happen again or you're grounded. Now go inside and wash up, your mom made beef n' franks and we're going to watch Glee..."
(all books)ultron87 said:(all books)Either way it'd be much better story telling to plant the seeds in the first season instead of having it come out of left field in season 5.

LocoMrPollock said:Yeah that scene didn't quite work for me either.Also where the hell are his lamb chops. Minor detail, but irritating all the same.
Which reminds me, Lancel looks like an idiot straight out of a jrpg game. It's uncanny, really.
Dark FaZe said:I thought that scene matchedTywin perfectly. He always seems bored and distracted when it comes to dealing with almost anyone other than maybe Kevan. And he definitely comes off as a cold hearted bastard..
Basileus777 said:Tywin Lannister is a one-not character? Blasphemy.
bengraven said:No no no, I guess I just meant that he doesn't show his emotions.
This Tywin is more like "fucking kids..." instead of "...children...behave or I will murder you".
Creamium said:The fight at the Eyrie was my favorite part of the two eps by far. They really hit a casting home run with Bronn. The previous episodes hinted at it, but 6 sealed the deal.
TheExodu5 said:Yeah, that fight was fantastic. I think episode 6 is probably my favorite so far. Episode 5 and the premiere were the biggest let downs to me. The premiere was missing...something. Mostly, it felt like a rush to get to the first twist. Could have been much better with a 2 hour premiere. Episode 5...the confrontation in between Varys and Littlefinger felt unnatural, and the fight scenes were atrocious. Going from the fight scenes in episode 5 to the Bronn fight at the Eyrie is night and day.
bengraven said:I wish we had gotten at least one line or maybe more subtleties informing us that Bronn was foreswearing armor and shield because he wanted to exhaust the other man.

Corky said:Hey guys, just caught up with the episodes.
I was wondering : would it be a "waste" to read the books? I realize that sounds like a stupid question but what I'm trying to get at is there a big difference in quality between the books or the series?
Would I be doing myself , as someone who is experiencing this for the first time, to just go ahead and read the books and take the episodes as they come?
LCfiner said:it's not a waste at all. the books expand upon the shows greatly and have greater depth of character (especially for Dany, who thinks to herself more than most other characters)
it's incredibly well written and addictive since most chapters are rather short.
if you enjoy the show, you will likely love the books. you can make the decision later on to read the books after each respective season or just plow through all 5 before the next season of the show starts

Yeah but see I've read the books, and thus know what you're thinking about.Manics said:That makes sense, so one of you lied to me Corky.

Not a bad idea - my unsolicited advice would be for him to finish watching the first season, then start reading through the books.John Harker said:Do yourself a favor: read the books after you finish watching the show.
It's likely the better way to enjoy both, now that you've already started watching.
If you do both at the same time, your mind will inadvertanly be comparing the two constantly. And you'll nitpick at the differences and end up devaluing both for yourself.
Cornballer said:Not a bad idea - my unsolicited advice would be for him to finish watching the first season, then start reading through the books.
Definitely. I've gone through the books twice and I'm still picking up new things that I completely missed.bengraven said:Yeah and make sure he doesn't skip the first because he's "seen it already".
Cornballer said:Definitely. I've gone through the books twice and I'm still picking up new things that I completely missed.
I find it really well-acted and mostly well-written, but so far the plot is really predictable. The dude saving the two Stark boys after he was just told it's "not his house?" Was that really necessary?Solo said:Oh man, that was great. The show has really found its stride now and continues to improve. Loved all the stuff going down at the Eyrie. Its great to see Tyrion weasle and manuever his way out of the worst situations imaginable. It was nice to finally see Robb get to do something as well, and I loved all the stuff at the Dothraki camp. Viserys ended up being just as pathetic as I'd imagined in the books, and his demise was so satisfying. And that final scene and final line - got damn!

I'm in love with osha.Cornballer said:
