Lysa + Littlefinger, mayhaps?

Lyanna Stark.

I wouldn't say he was unusually cruel…I thought in the book he was being actually pretty nice, for Bronn. He even admitted that he LIKED Tyrion in the book. The issue isn't that Bronn and Tyrion don't have a "friendship" of sorts, it's just that the friendship will always be secondary to the finances on Bronn's part.…

You're slipping. 10 minutes max, or GTFO…

hired by Robert Baratheon, this was a "oops I forgot to cancel the hit 'cause I'm dead" assassination attempt.

Heartbreaking for who? The entirety of that one chapter with Tywin, Tyrion and Shae switched me from Shae-lover to "CHOKE DAT DECEIVING BITCH". I'm not seeing much difference here…if anything it would be worse because TV Shae is more intelligent and more of an active agent in her own destiny than book Shae.

Brienne of Tarth kicks you in the nuts and cuts your head off.

You mean "Yara". This ain't the books.

I don't think it's the show that does a shit job; I think many persons watching the show just conflate it. You clearly see the White Walker (all white and blue and CGI'ed) at the end of S2, and you see the Wight in the S3 premiere. I think it comes from "The Walking Dead" calling zombies "walkers" and people assuming…

When you've read the books, you'll understand. Griping is part of the fun…i mean, we experts can't speculate 'cause we know what's what. Then again, I'm still trying to go through the newbie thread before I hit the experts, so who knows…maybe I'll have the same opinion as you.

Dem grapes be sour…

pretty much all the black persons mentioned in the GoT world are from the Summer Islands. Not much is mentioned in the book about Sotheros (the continent south of Essos and Westeros).

"manipulated" more than "forced."

"loves" may be a bit optimistic, but he definitely respects him and craves his acceptance/respect.

I'm confident he will get a chance…

Avoid @RedScarab:disqus 's comments, beware of spoilers.

The amount of production and shit that goes into each season, the max they can do is 10 episodes with one hour each. Anything more will break the boat…plus, DB and DW work on the show year-round; they have no breaks.

So read the books :-D

One thing I don't like; almost every reviewer I've seen conflates WHITE WALKERS with WIGHTS. Maybe it's the zombie thing. White Walkers are the "Others", the things that animate the wights. Wights are the frozen zombies.

yeah, a shittlecraft will give it up to the Jem Hadar like a bottom bitch, the runabout will at least try to spit in the Jem Hadar ship's eye as it get reamed.
