another thing, this thread is getting annoying.
The book and the show are different things. One is based on the other. All this silly nitpicking about this scene or that scene making it into the show is retarded.
Why would Loras and Jaime have that scene in the context of this show? Why would you think that? Ok its a fan fave for you, you'd like it to happen, but I guarantee you it will not.
Understand that the show, with only 1 exception I can think of, is coherent with itself, not with the novels or with your favorite theory based on the novels or any other dumb shit. ALso it varies from slightly to completely different from the novel it is based on.
For example, the reason why that scene with Jaime and Loras will not happen on the show:
In the books, Sir Loras is a disposable character, a 3rd son, who happens to be gay for renly 4 life. He is also an idiot, and blames Brienne for Renly's death, and demands that she is arrested when she arrives in KL with Jaime. He ends up being a king's guard to protect his sister until they can dispose of Joffrey. for all intents and purposes not another word could be written involving this character and nothing would change. he's a throwaway character, his last major bit of importance was his "injuries" which happen off page and is merely filler leading up to Cersei getting undeadMountain into the Kings guard to defend her at her trial
In the show, Sir Loras is the only son and Heir to High Garden. He is not disposable. He was Renly's lover, but not 4 life, he has and will continue to be used as more than a throwaway plot device character. He's not as dumb a character as he is in the books. He immediately absolved Brienne of Guilt and blamed Stannis for Renly's death. That, and margery becoming queen was the 2 primary motivators for the Tyrells to join the Lannisters to repel Stannis' siege. Brienne has been in KL for Weeks now and has yet to be imprisoned for Renly's death.
The show runners, in a not so subtle fashion, explained this to you fags by having Brienne visit margery and trying to explain what had happened, and margery made it obvious that a) nobody held her responsible and b) nobody gives a fuck about renly any longer.
There's a million examples of where they've changed something from the book to the show. some for better some for worse. the Sansa story line for example, with dropping Sir Donto's and having littlefinger interact directly with sansa, was dumb. But it's still internally coherent with the TV series. Littlefinger still left on his boat (perhaps not very far, as in the books). He still needs an Agent to deliver the amethyst's to the tyrell's for the wedding, and he still needs someone to bring sansa out of the red keep during the aftermath. So yeah, it was obvious they were trying to cut down on characters and dropped dontos in favor of having LF do it himself, but again, the story is coherent, he can't magically show back up in KL and do it, they may as well use Dontos. Sure, it basically ruins the surprise later when you learn that LF is basically behindeverything, but the TV show's story is still consistent with itself.
There is really only 1 fuck up I can think of where the showrunners have ended up retconning something within the TV show itself (the reason for going to the twins leading up to the RW)
