Horrible episode. This show just keeps getting worse and worse.
Peter Dinklage is the worst actor in the world!
The story is so boring and bland.

This episode was quite different from the books.

That hasn't really happened before.

I don't know what to think.

My post was a lie.
I just wanted to see if people still watched the show and read this thread.

It wasn't highly memorable, but I didn't dislike it.

I did hear the same complaint from peeps who read the book, who I watched the show with. Well, not so much complaints but just comments that it differed from the book.

One of them justified it that the writer of the book told them to do it, as a hindsight correction to his own story. Sort of like how the young characters are scaled up in age; he said if he could re-write it for the book, he'd make them all the age they are in the show.

Heh, that's interesting - my wife and I were just talking a few days ago about how in the books it seemed like he didn't really understand how people that young actually acted or thought. The characters in the books always felt several years older than he said they were.

I'm not too bothered about it being different from the books, I'm sure it will be interesting regardless.

Since I haven't read the books; what exactly was different?

Just the timing of events, or specific events? Just throw up some spoiler tags.
