I've started playing a game with my GF when we watch GoT. "Guess if this scene was in the book" She does pretty well, guesses it nearly all the time. There's just such a massive difference in quality of writing/characters and like others have said, they've kinda butchered lots of characters for no real reason other than "cool tv"

Brienne doesn't get hung by Lady Stoneheart though in the end.

I like to play a game too, it's called "pretend that the book and TV are two completely different stories set in the same universe." It helps me enjoy both mediums more than I would otherwise, and I suggest others give it a try.

Isn't alternative universe a little more plausible?

What do you think will happen to Myrcella?

1. She survives

+ Doran is on top of things ("not while I rule")
+ Jaime has become a force of good, and that means he should succeed?


2. She dies

+ The deaths of Cersei's children were foretold ("... gold will be their shrouds") by the witch who was right about everything else.
+ Cersei is an insecure tyrant. Losing another child adds to her instability.
+ Jaime: "I'm going to Dorne. I'm bringing our daughter home" -> He could fail and bring home Myrcella's dead body.


Another question: are there any characters deceased in the books who are alive in the show?

Marillion. Between the books and the show it appears he traded his tongue for his life.

I'd keep an eye out for Beric too. Without Uncat it seems likely enough he will stick around for any continued BwoB action.

A. She survives (injured or unharmed)

+ She is still alive in the books
+ Doran is on top of things
+ Jaime has had a positive transformation after losing his hand, and that means he should succeed?


B. She dies

+ Myrcella's death has been foreshadowed in the books. Maybe it will happen earlier in the show
+ Cersei is slowly becoming a crazed tyrant. Losing another child adds to her instability.
+ Jaime's conversation with Cersei

Jaime: "I'm gonna make things better"
Cersei: "You've never made anything better"
Jaime: "I'm going to Dorne. I'm bringing our daughter home"

For all we know, he could fail and bring home her dead body in a casket.

Balon Greyjoy?

I'm inclined to think that Balon has been dead for a while, but he just wasn't important enough for the show to spare the time to spread the news.

Stannis did burn three leeches in the show, like in the books (Robb, Joffrey, and Balon).

People keep mentioning this, but I'm 90% sure that Balon's death was mentioned in the show, just as an off-hand comment during a Small Council meeting or something like that.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

Well, that was unexpected. Baelish taking Sansa to the Boltons instead of having her to himself? I can't see the reasoning if his ambitions are still as in the books. Guess the Sansa when Stannis rides to save her will be Sansa, eh.

Kinda sad there was no "Edd, fetch me a block", Jon chose to execute him from the get go, there was no "oh shit it's about to get real" moment. Still thought the scene was really well done nonetheless. Everything was there, from Alliser's hesitation to Stannis's approval.

Really liked the introduction to the scene too, the toilet jokes may sounds like a random joke at first, but it's actually a warning to both Janos and Alliser that's he's not a petty bitch and will try to do whats best for the watch. Alliser acknowledges this, Janos fails to see it. Alliser steps out of the way, realising that there is nothing to gain from protected him. Really well done.

Probably Alliser will take Bowen Marsh role in the show though.

well someone needs to stab Jon, and all the nightswatchmen are either dead or cut.
We have Edd left, Sam who will leave, Allisair Thorne and Bowen Marsh, and the new kid introduced, Olly. If not for Marsh, Allisair thorne "betraying" Jon wouldnt be that much of a twist, now would it.

Even so, they will probably have to involve Edd or Olly (lol) to make it at least a bit dramatic, though that would be more of a parody for me, but let's see
