Only thing that pissed me off about Dance is tyrion's journey. George gotta cut that shyt out, its taking up too much space in the books devoted all that time on traveling.
I need Arya back in the next book for real, too good of a character to be forgotten like this.
And for some reason I'm intrigued as fukk about Arianne and the whole Martell plot line. come on George, you gotta let them come out on top, too good of a fukking House

season 3 ep 4, right
yea but you in the book spoilers thread, you might read some shyt here that will ruin the next couple seasons for you. People in this thread read the first 5 books already and are basically discussin both the show and the changes from the books
this thread here is for the discussion of the HBO show ONLY without any future spoilers --> http://www.the-coli.com/arcadium/60...-niccas-*storms-swords*-192.html#.UXv5M0os2So
Is anyone else unhappy with Beric Dondarrion so far? I think his demeanour is completely different than in the books. In the books he's supposed to be like Jojen Reed: solemn, calm, and completely detached. And a bit disturbed.
In the show they're trying to make him look scary and intense, but it's failing miserably.

Wayo is right though. AFFC was a chore to read through the first time for me, especially after reading it within days of reading ASOS. But that second read through, when your not going through the shock of realizing its almost all new pov's and most of the popular characters don't really make an appearance, allows you to appreciate how good it is. It's just one hell of a drop actionwise, but its a great exposition to the motivation and psyche of some key characters.

They made him to be some grand speech maker and crowd rouser, when in the book he seemed almost...tired. It was like he knows what he's doing is right and for the people, but that shyt is taking a hell of a toll on him (understatement) and he wants to rest, however, duty calls. And theres noone else to take the mantle and lead, so he continues on, until...

Will we get the Beric/Clegane fight tonight yeah. What else is likely to happen?
Yep. While they drop the ball a bit on some, other characters in situations they handle better than the book. As everyone else has already talked about, they reveal Theon's internal conflict and regret much better than the books. I always thought he was somewhat of a sympathetic character, probably because I can empathize with him better than some others, but the show made it really hit home on what he was going through. It's so easy to shyt on him and his decision, but that's mainly because most of us, both readers and viewers, saw the Stark's as the protaganist/good guys with that first season/book. So in a sense it felt like he betrayed us as fans, since we were pulling for the Starks' to succeed. In reality (for a fictional piece of work at least) he had one of the hardest decisions to make in the entire series. They humanized him a lot earlier in the show than they did in the book, where he was just a bit of a cocky a$$hole, then he was Reek, and it wasn't until after he was Reek for a while when most folks were like,
"I don't like this bytchass nikka, but that's pretty fukked up. Y'all going a lil too far." Great job by the show writers and the actor playing Theon.

I agree, the show is doing an AMAZING job with Theon and the Tyrells...Marg and the Queen of Thorns in particular. I really am digging the Season and just like book 3 its better than book 2/season 2 already....
I will agree I wanted to see Dondarrion a little older and world-weary. But i do like how all that time wasn't spent on Anguy and Lemoncloak. those parts of the book were great because of Arya, but i coulda done without SO much Brotherhood...kudos to the writing staff. This might go down as the best book to tv/film adaptation of all time. Lord of the Rings included.
I agree with all of yall this season has been amazingly good so far...already miles better than last season. They're keeping all the important shyt from the books and the additions like Theon's story are done extremely well. It does wonders that they could split the season into 2 parts instead of trying to cram everything into 10 eps....the difference in quality is astronomical from last year.
