Kind of odd of Catelyn Stark to lecture Jaime on war she started.

I'd always imagined that "pulling a littlefinger" would have a different context.




Thoughts on this episode:

-TV Jon kind of sucks now. I'm really not enjoying his scenes with Ygritte so far. There is also no way to salvage Jon and Qhorin and Jon's desertion properly.
-They turned Jaime into a kinslayer by having him killing his cousin who admired him just so he can have a chance at escape. The show is making it hard for people to like him after his redemption.
-I'm annoyed that Cersei keeps coming off as so innocent and caring in the show. Nothing is her fault, its all Joffrey. Poor Cersei.
-Pyat Pree is a mage with powers all of a sudden.
-While I love the interaction between Arya and Tywin, he is acting way out of character. Oh boy, another episode of "Story Time with Uncle Tywin". The real Tywin would have seen through Arya's act, or at the very least not trust her to deliver his food. High born girl from the north who was in a group of people coming from King's Landing. If nothing else you wouldn't keep her around to hear all the war plans with your generals.
-The fake Bran/Rickon thing was far too obvious. Not many of the show watchers are buying it. Maybe if they didn't mention the 2 orphans from winterfell earlier in the episode..
-I get that Dany's parts are boring as fuck in books 2-4 (and 5 imo, but many like that) so they wanted to spice shit up, but they are wasting sooo much fucking screen time on introducing yet another pointless power struggle instead of showing the ones that are actually meaningful and being ignored/underdeveloped. Just like with the Winterfell scene, the show lost all its subtlety and intrigue (which the first season was able to convey very well from the books) and thats one of the things that made the books so great. They could have saved 30 minutes and just had her go to the House of the Undying seeking support like she did from all the other places in Qarth. It feels more like a fanfic than an adaptation.

Fuck this. Now I am getting really annoyed with the show. They are changing stuff that really are not needed to be changed.
Even so called "boring" Dany parts didn't need to be changes. What they done now is 5x more stupid. They gave Dany stupid lines to say and nobody cares about power struggles in Quarth.
I really really really hope they can somehow salvage Jon storyline, or that character is forever changed and I don't care about him anymore. Him not being a real deserter is an important part of his development.

WTF is Jamie killing his cousin?! That is totally out of character. What was wrong with them setting up some kind of escape with some mummers that came to the camp, or some fake soldier or like. Worst thing is they introduce these nonsensical changes and the continue to act like nothing changed from the books. Like I will believe Cat would release him into Brianne care just after he killed his cousin!!! This means he has -100000 honor, not only 0 honor.

True, that it changes Jaime's character fundamentally, which is bad, but we can't deny the shock value of the scene, and how strong it was. Really sucked me in for the moment, than ofc tohught about it and "yeah, why did they make him a kinslayer?". Especially since they changed his cousin to be a Lannister instead of a Frey.

And i'm also fine with the Danny story, i kinda dislike Danny's lines and her reactions but w/e.

Also, is it possible they'll make Dagmar Cleftjaw replace Reek? I mean it would be kinda difficult to make it believable that he foreseen the fall of Winterfell and went to Theon that eraly, but he keeps urging Theon for violence and has that grin when Theon behaves aggressively.
