Doesn't that door/tunnel combo become important at the battle of the wall later? Like a giant gets killed in some narrow ass hallway blocking up the whole thing... kinda misses the point when its Grand Central Station and shit.
That's at Castle Black, I believe.
Eh, by those standards almost everyone in GoT is a villain. I think by GoT standards, to really be a villain you have to do fucked up shit for no real reason or gain, which is why I used the examples of Joffrey and Ramsay. I would barely even count Walder Frey as a villain, since he had beef with Robb and stood to gain from betraying him, but he also took it a bit far with the corpse desecration thing.
I highly doubt he planned to kill her until she tried to kill Sansa. In fact, I doubt he really had any particular designs on the Eyrie, and the only reason he kept things together so well in the aftermath of her death is because he performs just as well thinking on his feet as he does when he plans things out beforehand. He isn't really holding Sansa hostage when she has nowhere else to go. I also don't think he had any intention of causing the war of the five kings, I believe he was sincerely trying to talk convince Ned to take the throne himself, if only because Baelish would have more power in his court than in a Lannister court. I think he only betrayed Ned because Stannis on the throne would have been bad for business.
Yep. All the people complaining about deviations lack imagination and an appreciation for how easily this shit can be reconciled. GRRM probably goes through many different variations of stories whose starts and ends are exactly the same.
Especially when both GRRM and the HBO Davids apparently know the "ending".
I'm having trouble with this. I think up something, and then I figure it'll be futile because of some other event. Jaime's character evolution seems at risk, but it can be corrected. Likewise Brienne could be less honorable by failing to act, but she's a bit player anyway and there's quite a bit standing against her if she did.
Meh. Valyrian steel became dumb when Tywin was able to have Ned's greatsword Ice melted down and reforged into two longswords with no problem. The shit is the same old fantasy trope, Valyrian steel is basically just mithril/adamantine/starmetal/etc.
Yiggi is a crazy bitch. And if I know crazy bitches after they shoot you full of arrows next time they see you they'll want to make passionate love.
We can probably consider Valyrian swords sort of the GoT equivalent of viking swords called Ulfberht which were made from superior steel.
They can melt it down and reforge it but they have lost the magic to create new raw material. Probably Dragon fire forged
Well, for one Brienne's arc is interesting now. Remember in the book, Brienne does not know what Sansa looks like when she goes looking for her so now that she's at KL, will they just throw her in prison and let her languish there until after the wedding? I'm actually more annoyed that they removed the scene from the book (Jaime meets Cersei at the church) but of course they couldn't have that since Joffery isn't dead yet.
Brienne knowing what she looks like doesn't change much for the show though. She was always asking people with the description she had, but anything else was internal dialogue which isn't in the show anyway. Even with Sansa meeting both Brienne and Jaime, she will be whisked away a few episodes into Season 4, leaving her plot relatively the same. The only difference is that Jaime will get to see his son die at Joff's wedding now and I think we can all agree that everyone deserves to watch that little douche die.
I hope they recast him again, that super skinny dude just looks dumb compared to what the character is supposed to be.
