EPTMixedish feelings about the Bronn scene but it's a smart adaptation.
Argh. I liked the book characterization instead of the golden hearted whore. Can't believe he wrote the episode. The Shae meeting just seems ... off for Tyrion.

In the books she's way more sympathetic. lol she must be pretty awful in the show. I don't find her at all sympathetic in the book, except for one or two moments of vulnerability. Assuming you're talking about Cersei not Brienne. | ||

I give it a 9/10. They got the majority of the details from Joffrey's wedding, so it's already a winner. Not having to wait until aDwD to see more of the Boltons and Theon is great too. Only downer , again, seems to be Shae. To be fair, they haven't really let me down too much with their deviations from the book so far so I don't want to overreact. However, I have to wonder if Tyrion will even be killing Shae now that he gave her a clear justification to stab him in the back. It now seems more like a gigantic misunderstanding instead of an outright betrayal by someone we should have known to be disloyal from the start. | ||

I think it's just as much for the book readers as the film watchers. Can't predict if Shae will betray Tyrion in the trial for the show, or if Shae will take part most of Tysha's place for show plot ("wherever whores go"). Hell, maybe Tywin rapes and strangles Shae himself, I can see it happening. | ||

And of course, going to miss Jack as Joff. Goddam I never scorned and hated a character this much. Also, looks liek Tommen got way taller/older now. Not sure exactly where they are going with the Shae bit though. | ||

I got nothing, and neither seems like big news, but it's one of our rare hints from the show at things we don't know from the books yet. | ||

Book Tommen was fun to read because of how adorable he was with his beet ban and his kittens. It'd be hard to do those scenes in the show because he'd just look like a retard. ![[image loading]](http://winteriscoming.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Dean-Charles-Chapman-240x300.jpg) Iunno, he looks young enough to still play with kittens I think. | ||
