No. It's the arc that involves passing off Jeyne Pool as Arya Stark and marrying her off to Ramsay to secure Winterfell. The show is nowhere near that, and there has been no mention of it. | ||

No, the Lannisters/Boltons use Jayne Poole and claim she's Arya, who they found. They then marry her to Ramsay, hoping that it legitimizes the Bolton's hold on the North. Theon knows she's not Arya. | ||

The fake Arya storyline is summarized on Jeyne's wiki entry Thanks never really read up on characters that weren't introduced in to show/dont really care about. Any other wiki entries that you would recommend that aren't introduced in the show yet? | ||

Some that have been cut include Belwas, Coldhands, Shagwell, Vargo Hoat, Brown Ben Plumm, but really you can just go down the character list and see which ones sound interesting. All of them potentially include spoilers for future seasons of course. Reading the books is worth it though, even if you think you know what is going to happen. Even having read them before, re-reading pulls in new details I missed the first time and if you aren't a big reader, get the audio books, which are really well done. Compared to the show there are tons of more details to soak in. | ||

Too bad the director had to work with that poor writing, because otherwise he's done a stellar job. It was bad, but I disagree. The shit where they do typical cheezy fantasy stuff is the worst. Jon being in false danger has been the recurring one, but the prize has to go to the absurdity when they made it to the top of the wall in "the climb". Princess Bride was more reserved about their use of schmaltz and that movie was tongue in cheek. I like to think they've been reasonably slapped for their worst offenses: ![[image loading]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/timeline/dddb59ca3829ca285757e0c86384646e.png) ...but I know people blame mother's day for the sharp dips after some of the most painfully weak episodes. To that I ask why mothers day was called off in 2011 and 2012. | ||

I mean if you just want a cliff notes of what has happened with more details than the show, read the chapter summaries for every chapter on Tower of the Hand and then look up more info on anyone who interests you. There are lots of characters who were cut from the show or changed significantly, and most of the story lines have at least some change. Some that have been cut include Belwas, Coldhands, Shagwell, Vargo Hoat, Brown Ben Plumm, but really you can just go down the character list and see which ones sound interesting.

Thanks again, I found the book I started quite boring, and I find it ridiculous how people have righteous indignation about spoilers and state that they are terrified of being spoiled. I just prefer the TV show/cliff notes as a medium than the books. | ||

I'm really not sure if you're serious about people not watching this episode because of some bad scenes, or of mother's day not being the one blatantly obvious reason for the rating dip.. | ||

Most of all his dialogues are nothing short of excellent, and the lifestyle he leads seems to be very entertaining (travels around the world, beats up assholes, fucks like a bunny and collects wisdom). He is climbing to become my favorite character, kinda like Tyrion and Jaime would be combined. D'awww  I can't wait for episode 8. | ||
