Game of Thrones *Spoiler* Thread
There's been some recent confusion with the old spoiler thread, so I'm kicking off a new one for tonight's premiere. This is going to be the one for folks who've read all the books. So anything anybody might want to talk about is in bounds. Suffice to say, if you haven't read the books, you'll probably want to stay out of here until you do...
I'll bump the old spoiler-free thread shortly in case anybody's interested. For future reference the link to that one is here |

In real medieval times, people got married at 12/13, and I think that's the type of situation GRRM is going for. I have no problem with the characters being depicted as older in the show, since that's what makes sense to us now. Even Ned was supposed to be 35 in the book, and he was played by a 53 year old.

No, you're right. Drogo didn't just manhadle her or anything, but if it were a girl that were actually 14 in real life playing the role of Danerys, people would have been screaming bloody murder.

Also WTF kind of bullshit story about Catelyn making a protection charm for Jon Snow? She hated his guts until she died. She never regretted being a prick to him. F this show for trying to earn her sympathy. Also the scene is stupid as hell because Jon is a Targaryen. Just terrible on all counts. Last edited by Setsuna; 04-14-2013 at 05:03 PM.. |

That is definitely my ONE complaint with the show - there just aren't enough shows in a season to tell this story as it should be told. I understand that the cost per episode is astronomical, but they would have made all that money up and then some. Move it to 15 episodes a year. |

1) Who hasn't, in a moment of crisis, made all kinds of promises to the higher powers to get your ass out of that crisis, only to renege later? That is a good piece of writing. 2) After the Red Wedding, Catelyn really starts sucking in the books and becomes a flat character who basically just represent revenge (imo). This may allow for a little more development and interest. It also makes the Red Wedding that much worse, because she sees all this bad shit as her fault. 3) I agree that it changes her character, but I'm not sure the change is bad.

First "Oh, ****!!" moment in season 3, tonight. I kind of envy those who haven't read the books.
