A Thread of A Series of Books of A Song of Ice and Fire (BOOK AND TV SPOILERS HERE)

Blackfish was left at Riverrun and escapes when Edmure is about to surrender by jumping into the river. I think.
I'm a monster, but I hope show-Jeyne dies in the RW. but I guess now she won't as a consolation to Robb lovers. hm.
He's the uncle who spends the wedding raiding the minibar and scratching himself
Great guy, but you don't invite him to the black tie events anymore
My hope is that at the wedding she's somehow revealed to have been informing to Tywin (a huge longshot, I know) and Cat cuts her goddamned throat. Show-Cat would become a net-positive character for me at that point.
yep that'd be great.
I'm not sure the writers are going to be that cruel.
meanwhile, I hate show Shae a lot and her end can't come soon enough. "Your father isn't king of the world" UH YES HE PRETTY MUCH IS.
That would be just too tragic.
Well, I'm operating under the assumption that somewhere along the way she really fell in love with Robb, that absolutely no one even planned for her to meet Robb, and that Tywin is basically just blackmailing her at this point. If she's actively helping bring Robb down, I'm all for Cat killing her.
That'd add some extra kick to the Red Wedding.
I don't really mind show-Shae. I think she's a much better character than book-Shae.
But yes, when she said that, I said, "Oh, you sweet summer child, of course his father rules the world."
We also got the much-anticipated scene of Tywin checking Joffery. Beautifully shot... Tywin slowly mounting the stairs to tower over his petulant grandson. It was a pity that Cersei wasn't there to take notes.
I grant that she's better than the book character because she's fleshed out to the point where you can understand why Tyrion likes her. Then she becomes a petulant entitled bitch who can't see reality.
I guess she'll be throwing her lot soon enough.
I want the writers to exploit the RW's tragedy to the maximum. I wish to bathe in the show watchers tears. You'd think they'd be expecting the worst by now.
good idea.
That's already a better story than the Jeyne Poole bit from the novels. Not sure how practical it is, narratively speaking, but I could see them going there.
They need some plan for the Theon/Winterfell plot, because the economy of characters in the show so far means that Jeyne Poole doesn't even exist, as far as the TV audience is concerned. Even if they introduce her later, the audience will wonder who this chick is, and why they keep calling her Arya.
Book Jeyne is still alive somewhere. Also yeah, her mom was aborting any possible fetus as one of the thirty-five different women thinking about moon tea in ASoS.
And I'm with you. Death to not-Jeyne.
yeah. I sympathize with the viewers complaining about Theon atm, because honestly I can't remember a GIANT payoff there waiting for them.
I think everyone will forget about it after ep 9. I predict no Theon (or VERY short Theon) in ep 10.
What's really hilarious is that Joffrey's complaint is that nobody's telling him about dragons in Essos, and Tywin's just like, "Psh that doesn't matter, just a curiosity!"
Every once in a while Joffrey actually is right about something.
That sounds terrible.
yeah I enjoyed that. only the crazy kid can fathom the true dragon problem!
that is because dragons are fucking crazy
as the Yunkai emissary discovered
Maybe it will be, I'm not sure. I just get the feeling that this is the direction the show is heading in now that Talissa has said she's pregnant.
that's just mean. He's been thru enough without you piling on.
It just doesn't make sense though. Unless they are gonna somehow try and pass her off as Arya, it fucks a ton of plotlines up and changes the tenor of the storylines in ADWD.
Jeyne Poole is nonexistent this season, and they like to keep the character count down on the show I think.
I dunno it might work.
Maybe sort of.
It replaces "save Arya" and "save Jeyne" with "save Robb's widow." Jon and Theon both would want to save the woman Robb loved.
He broke it already by joining the Wildlings.
Forgot about that.
Come on, Ramsay probably has a dozen of the things in a closet somewhere. Before he flayed the hands of the guy that made them.
