Long time reader from TankLikeAGirl.
Seeing as how the second episode is out now, what did you think of Joffery?
I think he fit the role of “little shit I cant wait to see die” very well. lol

He doesn’t find out the truth of it until later, but he certainly knows what Jaime told him was true and what happened afterward.

I started reading them again, too. Halfway through Clash of Kings for the fourth time. I have so many other things to read but none of them could possibly be as good, lol.

Ah but remember Tyrion doesn’t find out about the Jaime thing until later on!

I haven’t seen this yet but you’ve inspired me to start a re-read in anticipation of ADWD. The Starks as a whole make me quite sad right from the start – Arya, Jon, Ned, Bran and Robb are some of the only really decent people in the whole series. I hope at least some of them get a happy ending.

Yikes, Arb, your friends suck. Those are images that won’t go away, because now I see it too.

They aged up all the kids for Dany, but also I think to help people buy the maturity of Robb and Jon. And the Sansa and Joffrey stuff. But practically, it also helps them cast actors they know can carry some of these crucial roles. All the critics say Arya and Viserys two of the best young actors, along with Dany, so I’m expecting great things of them.

Also heard they made a decision to make Cersei more quietly calculating. Agree with you on Tyrion but will take all the differences cos he’s a spectacular actor. Also adored Jaime, but my super annoying friends said he was prince charming from shrek, incl hairstyle. I will never forgive them. :-p

I thought it was SO GOOD. Really happy with it, and it was great to see my friends’ and husband’s faces fall at the end when they realized what was happening. I mean, not great, but a little amusing since I was the only one who read the book and knew what was going to happen.

Can’t wait to see more. The little glimpses of Arya were incredible and I am so excited to see more of her. She is an incredible character.

Funny quote from my friend Amy watching the show with me, after Arya hits the target while Bran is trying to aim… “Yeah, there’s no reason women would like this show.” Boy fiction indeed!

My husband and I were just talking about that after watching the first episode. We loved the books (just read the first one this Christmas, working on the 2nd one now), but it is so hard to imagine what makes sense and not to someone that doesn’t have all that backstory in their head.

Would be very interesting to hear about that.

I think Jaime has been cast exceptionally well. Here’s to hoping we’ll see a season 3, for more Jaime for you. The amazing thing about the books is that it’s all shades of grey, and who you like now, you might hate then, and vice versa.

In that scene, Jaime was certainly a very caring brother. Though I wonder how Tyrion really feels receiving whores from him, with his backstory.

Ratters, I love you. Did I mention that? That last paragraph sums it up very well. I would be interested what your SO thinks about the show, without having read the books. It’s probably confusing.
