for plot points, I don't see the big deal about Game of Thrones going back to Tyrion's story to Bronn & Shae about Tysha. I think they're trying to make Tyrion more heroic than he was in the books, or at least a lighter shade of grey. (i.e., no Symon Silvertongue to be quietly disposed of by Bronn...) Now, with Tyrion & Jamie having a friendly goodbye, and Tyrion also not revealing how Cersei, "she's been fucking Lancel and Osmund Kettleblack and probably Moon Boy for all I know" was also a disappointment. And, then Tyrion saying how, yes, he poisoned Jamie's vile son. For 10 years, I thought maybe Tyrion was in on the conspiracy to kill Joffrey - until we got A Dance with Dragons.

At least with Lady Stoneheart, they can still have a big "WTF" moment in season 5 if they have her revealed.

*SPOILERS* Hayabusa Jun 2014 #4

I wonder if they'll figure out how to get in Martin's classic line NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #7

I kinda hope they don't. Hayabusa Jun 2014 #9

It depends NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #11

someone on the twitter warrior1 Jun 2014 #15

no, I read an inteveiw with the show's producers. They asked for the extra time and got it. TeamPooka Jun 2014 #16

If they won't let them expand to 13 episodes WolverineDG Jun 2014 #18

I klnow you want more but there is a "quality vs quantity" issue at play here. TeamPooka Jun 2014 #31

true, you should always leave the audience wanting more WolverineDG Jun 2014 #65

Somebody on westeros.org NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #17

Nosy Rattlehead? Hayabusa Jun 2014 #19

No NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #21

but, NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #22

That better not be fucking true... Hayabusa Jun 2014 #23

Don't take anyone from Canada seriously Yavin4 Jun 2014 #26

They gave us Stannis early NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #25

It is going to go fast. Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #27

Hmmm...Is Cersei taking it to an extreme to avoid an undesirable marriage? Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #28

Powerful scene with the dragons. Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #29

yes, it was NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #35

I cried the most at that part TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #69

I'm glad you said it first. Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #78

that was Varys TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #81

God-fucking-damn it... Hayabusa Jun 2014 #30

Grrrrrrr............. Liberal Veteran Jun 2014 #32

I call BULLSHIT!!! Yavin4 Jun 2014 #33

No truth about Tysha from Jaime or Tywin Hayabusa Jun 2014 #34

that was disappointing NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #36

Not to mention I wanted "Father do me a favor, die quickly, for i have a ship to catch" Liberal Veteran Jun 2014 #37

Not having her appear at the end NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #41

STFU! Darth Vader is Luke's daddy?????? Liberal Veteran Jun 2014 #50

I think I'm more upset about Tysha NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #53

Yeah, the Tysha non-reveal was probably the worst now that I think about it. Hayabusa Jun 2014 #54

if Breaking Bad can carry go back to earlier seasons NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #55

I wouldn't have expected that in the show TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #71

I think the point was emotions: Arya got to see someone doing what she always DebJ Jun 2014 #76

Do we presume now, that Arya is stonehearted? Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #38

kind of NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #42

Yes, I do know who Lady Stoneheart is. But, the word applied to Arya being so Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #43

yes NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #45

She can't do that...there's future plans for the hound* didact Jun 2014 #59

I hope so! Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #64

Some of the rumors say NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #66

I still don't believe he didn't die TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #70

His past life NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #80

I don't remember all that TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #83

ok, I re-read the whole bit on the Quite Isle TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #85

The significance of the horse is that it is really savage and vicious cemaphonic Jun 2014 #88

Yes - he wants people to think he's dead - that was my take anyway? didact Jul 2014 #93

So the priest decided to go along with Tyrion when he realized the king Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #39

Yes NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #40

I'm betting Hayabusa Jun 2014 #47

good idea NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #48

Varys was never a priest TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #51

Thanks for all your detailed posts. DebJ Jun 2014 #63

You're very welcome TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #68

Yes. Your descriptive explanations are superb. Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #73

Thank you! TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #75

Yes, I think there was a list of potential new characters NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #67

And one final outrage: Bloodraven. Hayabusa Jun 2014 #49

I think the Bloodraven in the show was a lot closer to TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #74

Lady Stoneheart was trending on twitter NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #52

Good read to why no LS warrior1 Jun 2014 #57

I've thought about that NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #58

So, Brienne dies in the book version of GoT? Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #72

I think with George R R Martin it's never safe to presume someone is dead DebJ Jun 2014 #77

If he uses it too often, though NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #91

Whomever wrote this Hayabusa Jun 2014 #79

I'm guessing NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #86

I thought that having Arya meet Brienne was simply fantastic. DebJ Jun 2014 #60

well, if they do give us Lady Stoneheart NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #61

Well at least that would be SOME reasoning for Lady Stoneheart's ultimate decision there. n/t DebJ Jun 2014 #62

Without Lady Stoneheart, what do you do with Brienne? Yavin4 Jun 2014 #82
