Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Have YOU been paying attention. We're three episodes into SEASON 3!!! Tywin has been cooling his heels in Kings landing for the best part of a year while Robb wanders the land like Cane from Kung Fu. If Robb's such a thorn in his side why is he leaving him to wreck havoc. And Robb even said himself 'the men are itching for a fight.' I was thinking they're not the only ones..
Jon's story arch was the one with all the potential, the end of last season inferred some serious **** going down up't north. Now it's looking like a mirror of Robb's story, with snow. They've skipped another important battle which disrupts the flow of the story.

You still don't seem to be grasping that television shows cost a lot of money. They can't show every battle. The Blackwater Bay battle ate up most of the Season 2 budget for effects and that was even after they got an increase to it, solely due to that scene. While I'd love to see every fight at the level of Blackwater Bay, I think I'd rather they skip them than do them badly/low-budget. The only people whining about the missing stuff are book readers and there are a lot(and I mean a lot) more people watching the show who have never read the books and couldn't possibly care less about something they don't even know went missing.
I tend to be very forgiving for the stuff they are cutting since the rest of the show is still the best thing on television. TV and books are different mediums. Deal with it(or just go reread the books - voila, you're now enjoying the better version!).
Why am I responding to someone with a True Blood avatar?

They, Danny and the slave girl, said "Valar Morghulis" which has been mentioned by another friend of ours.

Blaming the budget is a kop out. Good direction can can make even a small skirmish look epic. What annoys me most is the flow of the story being disrupted, Mormont rides out with 300 men at the end of season 2, the next time we see him he has a handful of men and they're heading back to the wall. You don't need to have read the books (which I haven't) to know something major has happened and they've skipped it..

I don't get why you're mad about the Robb and Tywin thing. Tywin and the Freys have Robb and Catelyn killed at the end of this season, so you can quit crying like a little sparkly bitch about it.
Yeah, the story and directing is just amazing. Every time you see what's being foreshadowed or what you think would be the logical story progression, something completely different happens. Ned Stark declaring Joffrey the king and everyone expecting him to just be imprisoned, then nooooope, fuck your head bitch! Jaime talking to the dudes and you just know he's gonna get away during the night and save Brienne, then nooooope, fuck your hand bitch! It really makes you realize how predictable most shit is these days and the storytelling formula we get from most movies and shows.

My guess is that at this point she's confident enough in her dragons to assume that it would just wind up eating him and come back to her anyway. In that case, the bigger the better. Kinda like giving someone a timebomb.
I mean, I dunno. But they've made a show about how they're getting bigger and more independent. Not big enough to kill armies yet, sure... but one dude? Maybe big enough.

In the movie Plague Dogs there is a scene where one of the dogs says, "Damn this place, damn the white coats, damn them all!" Sounds a lot like when the Hound says, "Fuck the Kingsguard, fuck the city, fuck the king!" The dog in the movie is also running from fire. Coincidence?

Or even like minor stuff. They introduced these bad ass dire wolves, and then one of them bites a prince and they want to kill it. You think, "surely, they'll talk their way out of it because people are reasonable." Nope, kill little girl's bad ass wolf.

It is obvious you haven't read the books because they are about character development, political intrigue, and the numerous goings on that determine the fate of two different continents just to name a few. What it isn't, though, is heavy on action. For all the talk of action in the books, very little of it is actually spelled out for the reader. It is one of the best parts about it. You get about one major battle and one major ambush scene in each book and that is about it. Additionally, most of it is small scale compared to the battles that are referenced but never described blow by blow.
TLDR; jimmies rustled, get the fuck out of this thread you annoying asshole

I am interested in seeing what will happen to Jamie, as arry's location should get to Rob soon and little finger is most likely getting Sansa out and to the arie, then what. If I was rob I would kill him publicly, maybe make it a pre battle pepperrally and have people all get to stab him some, and stick him on a spike and tout him out to battle demoralizing the other side.
but I would have already chopped both his hands off and maybe feet... They wouldn't notice at prisoner exchange till it was too late.

From the no-spoiler thread.
God, I can not wait to see that threads reaction soon.....Especially if they intimate The Hound might have killed Arya, and then the show ends (Which people will believe she is really dead because...well, fuck, they just saw every other "Hero" die.)
I remember reading the book and thinking that too....Only a little while longer and Arya will be safe. Then....
