A Song of Ice and Fire (book discussion - spoilers inside)

[Lonely Paper Star]

I get the feeling that the show is going to cut the thing about Tyrion's first wife and have Tyrion go search for Shae instead.

Ugh, that would make me upset, but I can see them doing it.

[Jinx]

Oh my god. That would be so dumb. Part of the reason it's SO GREAT in the book is because you're just gutted (no pun intended) for Tyrion. And it's just such a smurfing betrayal. I'd still be perfectly okay with what happened to book Shae happening to show Shae, and I think the way they've made their relationship so much more realistic and built on love would make it even more of a shocker.


so booo I hope that's not what happens

[Ayen]

They better not go the Hollywood route.

It's taking away another opportunity for me to see my friends cry

I was just reading up on that, too.

Yeah, I spoiled myself. I don't care, I'm impatient.

Lucky for you, studies show that spoilers do not ruin the reading experience ^_^

That would be such a shame as it's arguably the most devastating volley in the series of bombshells GRRM relentlessly drops on your head at the end of ASOS.

[The Man]

Not to mention that getting rid of Tyrion's backstory would eliminate what is arguably Tywin's most monstrous act in the entire series and (SPOILER)it would make almost zero sense for Tyrion to kill him without that as a catalyst. For that reason alone I think it's unlikely they'll be stupid enough to do that, but I'm not going to rule anything out.

Biggest load of bulltrout "study" ever

You can experience something knowing what happens as many times as you want after your first reading, you only get once chance in your life to expereince something without spoilers and when it's gone it's gone

I remember them mentioning his first wife before in season one so there's still a chance this will happen on the show.

That was before they realised how well the audience would respond to Shae

[Psychotic]

Dorne was where I felt something might boil over soon but it never quite did.

Also Victarion is a smurfing badass. Lets talk about how awesome he is.

[Rantz]

Victarion for the iron throne. Paid for with the iron price.

I am now the proud owner of books 1 - 5 ^_^

Yep, totally agreed.

I am just the first thirty pages into A Feast for Crows and I haaaaaaaate hate hate smurfing hate the Pyke scenes. Aeron is so smurfing pious and boring.

Pyke so far contains my least favorite scenes. As of right now, I would take reading about Dragonstone over Pyke any day.

[Kalevala]

There has been speculation that in the show either Victarion and Euron will be combined into one character, one of them will be cut, or they will both be cut entirely.

What do you all think? They seem too essential to be cut entirely.

[Shorty]

Do you mean cut from the show?
