That's because in the book Jamie asks Bolton to send HIS regards to Rob, and in the show asks him to send the Lanister's. It's a purely cosmetic thing, that makes the scene a bit less confusing.

I think something that some people are forgetting is that in one major way this is more of a shock to viewers than it was to readers. In the books, we have a REALLY good idea how dirty the Boltons are at the end of the second book. Here, Ramsey is a mystery wrapped in an enigma.

Not necessarily, it just means that it isn't super important to the universe, which I think is clear in the books after the Westerlings get shuffled off by Jamie.

*spoilers*
Remember though that this is a big part of why Stoneheart hates Jamie SO much, and only spares Brianne if she will help kill him.

Moore didn't realize that he wouldn't have the rights to his own works. His contract with DC said that he would get the rights to his work reverted when they went out of print. The usual time for this at the time was about 5 years. DC went out of their way to keep his work perpetually in print, which he didn't expect.

Lying to people with dementia to stop them from doing dangerous things is pretty common. I don't think the St. Patrick's day lie was malevolent.

He was introduced as a hyper-competitive asshat, then became sweet, and then became a different kind of asshat.

He has a valid law degree. It's his undergrad one that's phony. Technically he doesn't need an undergrad degree at all, since he has the law degree, but the state bar threatened to disbar him, and the deal he worked out with them was that he had to get a valid undergrad degree.

The red religion is basically identical to Zoroastrianism in every meaningful way. The dualism is there, so is the obsession with fire, and the association of it with the good god. So is the concept of an ultimate conflict between the two.

The 7 is Christianity. The 7 are a different version of the trinity, representing aspects of one god. This is pretty explicit in the books.

Isn't it an intra-group conflict?

Cerseri's problem is that she tries to act like a "man" in her attempt to get power, and is constrained by the patriarchy. Margery is perfectly willing to play by men's rules, and is able to accumulate much more power because of it.

@avclub-74bf91a53eb1f013c870983eacf42770:disqus I don't remember that at all. I really need to re-read everything before Winds of Winter comes out.

It's to make Renly more gay. His orientation is never specified in the books, just hinted at really strongly.

Do you have a link? Google didn't turn up the story.

I don't think anyone will ever forget that breastfeeding scene.

@avclub-1d3066af6e7e3abefb481f89651e3b42:disqus it doesn't link to his Ebay account. It's a roundup of things found on Ebay, not sold by him. I think he's mentioned that he was selling some old stuff on Ebay twice in the history of the site.

He sends a letter doing it. I imagine that the letter will show up at some point.

This is the case in the book as well. His honor forces him to marry the woman he slept with.
