Uh… book-spoilers/maybe show-spoilers… I think, if you've read the books, the shit going on in KL between the crown and the Church has a whole lot of potential to be pretty balls-out epic, especially with what goes on with Cersei.  Not to mention the fall-out of the Purple Wedding.

Yeah, he did.  Book-Robb also threw away a Frey wedding so he could marry another chick.  They changed the name and backstory of the chick in the show, but the plot elements are otherwise identical.

If he walked into his own uncle's wedding armed and with bodyguards, he'd be breaking the guest's rights tradition that is practiced throughout Westeros and has been since time began.

She starts the series at 9 and, by this point in the stories, is maybe 10.  However, the character in the book never really acts like a 9 year old, so having her be 12 or 13  in the show makes her a much more believable character.

They are meaningless in the future of the show based on the books.  One does not have to slavishly follow the other.

Because Joffrey is the King and can do what he wants.  All of his subjects are his by divine right of the Seven.

Because it's a fucking excellently dramatic piece of well-written fiction.  Say what you will about the rest of the books, but, on paper, the Red Wedding scene is fucking top-notch, start to finish, as TVDW says in the article.  For a first-time reader, it comes as such a punch to the gut, because here's a bunch of

SPOILERS

They did.  Sansa is 16 in S1 (13 in the books).  Arya is 12 or 13 in S1, 9 in the books.

Eh, not that hard to believe, really.  I mean, shit, amateur bands form in the military all the time from some dudes who are just sitting around in the barracks, bored, but their main job is driving tanks or operating artillery or being infantrymen or what-the-fuck-ever.  So, sure, some Lannister archers also play a

Roose is a sadistic motherfucker, but he's not as fucking crazed as his bastard son is.  Still, Roose is stone-cold.

They're not.  Sword-instructor dude died in King's Landing.  A wooden sword in the hands of a master fencer does fuck-all against five dudes in platemail with broadswords.

The North has nothing left to remember.  The biggest power bloc the North has had its head cut off when Robb decapitated Karstark.  The North gives not a fuck for the Stark family at this point.

Frey doesn't need other people.  He's now swimming in a pool filled with that sweet, sweet Lannister gold.

Was worse in the book, because GRRM sets it up to make us think she's dead.

He's a… cousin of Ser Ilyn Payne?  Something like that.

Well,shit, since the US wouldn't fucking exist if it weren't for the British, should we also credit them with the establishment of liberal democracy?  I mean, sure, it's a French idea at its base, but we kick started that shit and then started forcing other people to adopt it at gunpoint and now with remote-piloted

I… don't remember a talking, killer bus in Speed?  What acid were you, where did you get it, and can I have some?

I wasn't aware that Goatse had started doing music.

Why? That's like motherfuckin' askin' for it.
