PETER DINKLAGE
I want this to go viral.
they should have made it '' peeeeter, peeeter, peter dinklage (peter dinklage ,peter dinklage ,peter dinklage ,peter dinklage)
instead of ''peeeter diiiinklage, peter dinklage (peter dinklage, peter dinklage, peter dinklage, peter dinklage)
The complaint isn't so much that the story isn't an on-screen version of the books, but that some of the changes have been bad. They have great source material to work from, and when they change the spirit of a scene it's perfectly reasonable to criticize it as a good choice or a bad choice. Making Arya Tywin's cup bearer--good choice. Knocking down pretty much all the sympathy they've built for Jaime as a character by having him outright rape his sister--bad choice.
That said, it seems like the director was going for consensual sex and just failed to translate it to the audience. While he meant her clutching hand to be her giving in, we saw it as a sign of distress. Which is a bummer because, as smurfed up as that scene is, in the book is gave great insight to the dynamic of those characters, while in the show it just seemed smurfed up for the sake of being smurfed up.
I think it's the latter, although both are pretty good speculations.Quote:

I'm fearing for Tyrion right now. I feel like his storyline is 'winding to a close' and that terrible things await him. :( I hope he manages to wiggle his way out of this one but I'm not so sure. I'm sure most of you already know his fate but I'm only halfway through A Storm of Swords and that means I have like 5,000 pages left to read before I catch up with it.
"She totally wants it. Just look at the way she's clutching her hand" is a worse rape line than "look at what she's wearing"
I cant imagine anyone who thinks this.
Anyway what I dont like is that now I cant say to an exclusive show watcher "I really like Jaime Lanister" without having to explain how he isn't a rapist.
Even though this was a couple episodes back, who can't resist the Hound with his chickens?

I can't wait till next episode just so the controversy is forgotten about for awhile. I'm excited about Dany's storyline now, for once. Didn't think I'd be saying that.
Spoiler alert to book readers this time. Night's King with creepy ice demon boss man shown.
It is the Night's King, the show synopsis says it.
How's it feel book readers, to have the show spoil the future books for you?
Shoe is on the other foot now.
Well that was awesome.
That was an intense episode, although the beginning was kind of a drag with how the last episode ended but all in all an hour well spent. Once again the ending credits tend to sneak up on me as I keep expecting there to be more.
I dont remember how/when the Bran party got north of the wall in the show
