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" 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. | ||

Hanged, karazax. Brienne is not a tapestry. | ||

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? | ||

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

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. Another question: are there any characters deceased in the books who are alive in the show? Balon Greyjoy? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||
