Game of Thrones

I'm rooting for Arya to resurrect The Hound and for them to go on more adventures. Fuck the rest of the show.

If he gets taken out, I'm out.

Haha, outside of my buddy who kept urging, "It gets better, trust me!" Petyr is the reason I kept reading:

"Ser Aron Santagar is a vain man, but an honest one." Ser Rodrik's hand went to his face to stroke his whiskers and discovered once again that they were gone. He looked nonplussed. "He may know the blade, yes ... but, my lady, the moment we go ashore we are at risk. And there are those at court who will know you on sight."

Catelyn's mouth grew tight. "Littlefinger," she murmured. His face swam up before her; a boy's face, though he was a boy no longer. His father had died several years before, so he was Lord Baelish now, yet still they called him Littlefinger. Her brother Edmure had given him that name, long ago at Riverrun. His family's modest holdings were on the smallest of the Fingers, and Petyr had been slight and short for his age.

This guy then has her intercepted, tells the Gold Cloaks nothing about her, brings her to his chamber, then tells her that a unique Valyrian steel dagger is his even though its rarity has already been established along with that of Dragonbone? Nice. Paying attention to this dude.

I'm rooting for Arya to resurrect The Hound and for them to go on more adventures.

Resurrect? When did we see The Hound die?

I don't know why I bother, you dill holes seem satisfied with this tripe.

LORD OF THE RINGS WAS RUINED BECAUSE THEY CUT OUT TOM BOMBADIL

YES FINALLY, some vindication!!!

Did you actually read the article though? The claim that GRRM signs off on all these changes and omissions is false, this shit is out of his control at this point. Yay.

"Not loving these huge divergences. Read the books if you want to know the story the way the author intended it."

No shit sherlock. Holy shit, how is that a revelation. It's like people have no idea how book adaptations have to be done. GRRM can't be fully involved (and never has been), he has a few books to write (which is why he didn't write an episode and cancelled appearances this year). You want to experience the exact story, read it or listen to the audio book. Better yet, if the show has swerved so far from what you want, you can let them know by not watching anymore.

Read the article, I never claimed that he signed off on all the changes, just that he told the producers the entire synopsis of where the story goes so they know what they're doing in order to make it into a tv show.

"Not loving these huge divergences. Read the books if you want to know the story the way the author intended it."

I think it's more along the lines of feeling like show-watchers are getting majorly stiffed and they're not getting even a smidgen of the original story. Whatever, I read the books, I can get my panties in a wad about changes and shit. But people like my Dad, (who is strictly a show watcher) are being served Mr. Pibb when they ordered Dr. Pepper. That is shittay. And the waitress doesn't tell you that they don't serve Dr. Pepper and just gives you a Mr. Pibb figuring you won't know the difference anyway.

At least with the show we'll actually get to know what the end of the story is, there's no way Martin isn't dead before he finishes the books at the pace he writes.

[Jed]

Ya, that is a genuine fear. You see a lot of old dudes, and a lot of fat dudes in the world. You don't see a lot of OLD FAT dudes.
