Amongst the living, Greatjon Umber was stronger, strongboar of crakehall most likely, both Cleganes for a certainty. The Mountain's strength was like nothing human. It did not matter. With speed and skill, Jaime could beat them all. He's only talking about people physically stronger than him, and mentions how he could beat them with speed and skill. == There's a bunch of elite fighters in Westeros, many of whom we've presumably barely heard about/seen. Take Garlan Tyrell, we basically know fuck all about him but it turns out he's better than his little brother Loras despite the latter being far more well known as a result of tournies and general glory hunting. | ||

The Tyrion in the show is another hand of the king nothing special, How does he want to continue being the hand of the king without doing anything but bitch around Joffrey and slap him from time to time? I feel like he doesn't do anything. Tell me Varis how is he a good hand? really? They robbed him from all the actions he did which bought my love and appreciation to him. THANKS GOD that Peter Dinklage is such a great actor and they at least didn't make him an utter stupid and he actually can talk. | ||

You do realize that there is simply not enough time in the show to show us all these things, right? | ||

HBO really ought to double the budget for Game of Thrones and add something like 5 episodes to each season, I think there would be drastically less to complain about in this thread if that were to occur. Does anyone have any idea of about how large the Game of Thrones budget is btw? I've thought about this quite often. | ||

I've thought about this quite often. 50-60 Million for season 1 and they got a 15% increase for s2 or so is the reports. Although for season 2 they rebuilt alot of sets and relocated where they were shooting, so going into s3 money should be spent a bit more effeciently. | ||

I didn't say they needed to capture all of that in the TV show, I was replying to anomalopidae who asked what actions Tyrion did that made his actions as Hand matter for the defense of the city. In the show, Bronn is the commander of the city watch, so he's not taking care of hiring sellswords on Tyrion's orders. The show sort of got rid of the hilltribes (we only saw them for a couple scenes all season). The show gave the wildfire idea to Cersei instead of Tyrion, so again its not his genius of orchestrating this plan. Its fine to cut some things for size, but they did make his actions as hand for the defense of the city pretty insignificant. | ||

Season 2 feels a bit lacking though ... I know they had to exclude even more stuff (from a slightly bigger book) to include the Robb romance, but it felt like they are changing and excluding too much. I especially missed Blackfish's involvement in the war (it would have been awesome to see a scene of his cavalry cutting down outriders before the Robb assault), Tyrion's work as hand and Sansa and the Hound's "friendship" (if they're gonna do the part in which he appears to take Sansa away during the battle of Blackwater, they should have at least built it up a little bit). | ||

They are simply not able to produce more than 10 episodes in a year without dropping the quality drastically. | ||
