    ^To be fair, the stories have wildly diverged this season. We're basically getting a nice two for one deal.

    I think that's what G.R.R.Martin wanted to do - it's the same with some comic book titles: 'What If?' comics looked at alternate timelines or changes to a story/character.

    I love it regardless.

    Can't wait for the next episode with Tyrion and Daenerys. In the book we are not yet there.
    For anyone who read the books, don't you think this tv season is going to fast? We even approach the Winterfall siege.


    Yah it is speeding up. I just do not think the show would last long if it took a slower development of the books. I can see 3 more seasons at most, more likely two.

    Exactly, Quod. It's typical GoT, those in power (or those who perceive themselves to be in a position of power) can have it easily taken away from them. What's most astonighing is the build up and the way that it's executed so believably that you think 'damn, I should've seen that coming!' It's the new layer of vulnerability to the character as well as karnic retribution that has us all shocked and pleased at the same time. I love this show! As Lord Baelish told us: 'chaos is a ladder'

    I've not been following game of thrones properly, so probably missed the plot but John Snows stabbing in the last episode seemed quite predictable, there wasn't much of a story build up to the event either, so it appeared a bit random.   I would, however be very upset if either Tyrion, John Mormont or Brienne had died, love their characters the most.

    Rapecest. That was a butchering of Jamie's character. He hates rape in the books.

    Quote from: GodIsNotGreat on April 22, 2014, 02:30 PM
    it completely messes up Jaime's character arc, too. Which is a shame, since he's one of my favourite characters in the books.


    I thought I'd resurrect this since I've come across the appropriate passages in my reread of the series. The way I heard it told, Jaime never raped Cersei, but it was portrayed as forced in the show.

    Two points: firstly, it's from Jaime's viewpoint, so he may not have considered it 'rapey'. Secondly, around 2½ paragraphs make it clear that Cersei does not want to take things further than kisses. She says 'No' unequivocally, but Jaime both 'kissed her silent' and 'never heard her' when she protests five times, while beating at him with her fists.
     
    He feels her up, realises she is having her period, but 'it made no difference'.
     
    Now, I suspect people probably focus on the paragraph after that, where Cersei tells him to 'Hurry... do me now", but that comes after all her objections both verbal and physical.
     
    It seems to be one of those things where a woman who says 'No' secretly wants sex, or else can be forced into 'liking it' if you go far enough.
     
    I really don't see why the people watching the show claimed that D&D depicted it incorrectly!

    Nothing states that he hates rape. He doesn't do it himself, and he finds himself inexplicable liking Brienne, therefore stops her getting raped - but the book points out that he doesn't know why he keeps helping Brienne. That's nothing to do with his own character with regards to rape.

    I freaking loved it! Especially the last episode. A Stark reunion after such a long time, and so many near misses. I totally lost it when Jon and Sansa hugged each other, and were reminiscing, I started crying. This scene alone was enough to compensate me for the Dorne plot and Season 5 combined. This is the only thing I can think of right now.

    Moving on to other news, we go to Essos, where Daenerys Targaryen now has the support of the Dothraki... Nope, f### that. House Stark is all that matters. Also, Bastardbowl/ Snowbowl 2016 confirmed!!! Get hype!  dance

    I'm not sure the Dothraki will be 100% willing to do khaleesi's bidding. Let's wait for an episode or two to see how this unfolds. It's gonna be hard work, I'm sure... and what about the reunion? Don't wanna be a party pooper, but we know there are no happy endings nor "good guys" who come out of this gloriously. I'm more afraid of what's gonna happen to Rickon...
