Margaery herself is hardly present in the books, as she's not a POV character - it's mostly other people talking about her. They've cast a relatively well-known and proficient actress on the show for the role. Also, unlike books there's a lot of difference between actually showing a character and just talking about her on…
seems like most progress in the story has been in the 2nd half of the show this time. Sometimes it really drags. Please don't turn this into the Talking Dead :/
uncle -- yes, but it was handled a bit more with a lead up in the books-- this shouldn't spoil things for anyone who's watched up to what Uncle is talking about:
There was that comment about flaying people... could've added the leeching though. Bolton talked about his bastard marching on Winterfell at least two times now.
Hopefully we'll see as little of Theon as possible. Also it appears they're replacing Catelyn's parts talking about Robb with Robb's perspective, which would explain Jenye.
This episode had a lot of humor in it too, found Arya & the Hound's interactions hilarious, and the stuff Jamie and Tyron were talking about was great. Theon & CreepyMcEmoFace are a cute couple. great stuff!
Considering it didn't end up with a whiny bitch-rant from Joffery it can go anywhere it wants:) Pretty good first episode but damn, talk about a purple-nurple :poly122:
Seriously guys it takes 3 seconds to tag something as a spoiler. Folks are watching the show as it comes out and want to talk about it. Dont ruin it all for them because your a lazy ass.
or... OR.... you're getting the same response i got when i said this in the walking dead threads. it's not hard to read a book, just go pick it up and get going. if anything you'll understand more about what's going on than watching the show anyway, and in my opinion it's more entertaining. but just to be clear here. there…
