It was Mandon Moore who tried to kill Tyrion in the books. Yes, I had to look this up. Too many names.
Blount and Swann aren't Kettleblacks.

Registered 7 years agoSo it's pretty much certain that the swamp kids won't be turning up in the TV series then? They do talk a lot of bollocks but it's still a shame.
I was thinking that it must be tricky to decide who to cut given that the story isn't finished yet and one of the cut characters could become integral later on, meaning they'd have to insert them at some other point, could get messy.Please don't use the delete button, think of the children.

The book writer is heavily involved in the TV series though. I am sure he would have mentioned to the TV team if a character needed to be included.

They could also do a tactical insertion. I am sure Podrick Payne is in the book a long time before he was introduced into the series. In the TV series Tyrion mentions him at the start of the penultimate episode and he then saves his life at the end of the very same episode.
The books themselves chuck in new characters frequently. Sometimes just to kill them off a few chapters later. -

Registered 7 years agoGood points PazJohnMitch. Scimarad, if they're turning up next season then it'll be interesting to see how they explain that (if indeed they do at all). The swamp kids being from the southern part of the North with Bran and Rickon heading in the opposite direction.Please don't use the delete button, think of the children.

Registered 9 years agoSame as in the books no? There they show up at winterfell ... euh ... at some point. I forget why. Surely they can show up on the road or in the wilderness heading north for the same reasons.
Green dreams or runnign away from all the fighting down south.
I kind of want to re-read the books as I plowed through them the first time and glossed over so many of the details. I've given them to a friend to read though. :-/ -

Registered 6 years agoJust finished the books, the next two series should be awesome!
But after that, I hope the TV producers take the show in a different direction, like maybe making Dany not stick around in Mereen, but instead having her smash all of Slaver's bay. They'll have to cut back a lot of the tangents, too.
Also, I thought Jon comes across a lot better in the books. In the second TV series he's portrayed as a thick oaf who's decent with a sword, he winds up Craster, has to be constantly lectured by Mormont and Halfhand, lets a prisoner escape, (Halfhand doesn't want that to happen in the TV series, in the books he doesn't mind) which leads to his companions being killed.
He doesn't come across as someone that could believably become the Lord Commander, whereas in the books he does.

Registered 6 years agoRamsey does not properly appear until the fifth book though. (Given they did not seem to include him in the second season).
Shireen is a confusing addition. Stannis denied her existence in season 2.
I like Dennis Pennis as Thoros. -

Registered 6 years agoIt's the second. I believe his forces are under attack by Ser Rodrik in which he disguises himself as Reek and escapes. He then meets up with Theon and stays with him for a time still as Reek before Theon asks him to go out and get help. It's at the end of the book when he comes back and betrays Theon.
I dunno, but to me it's they either give Ramsey some airtime now, or just have Theon not show up for the next 2-3 seasons. -

Registered 6 years agoGiven that Winterfell is already destroyed at the end of Season 2 it looks like Ramsey was simply not included. (Unless in the TV series he is the guy that Theon met on Pyke who suggested the Bran and Rickon ploy to Theon). -

Registered 6 years agoNah that wasn't Ramsey, that was just another Iron islander. I think it makes more sense in the TV show than in the book because as an Iron islander, you'd think Theon is more willing to listen to him rather than seemingly some random servant. -

Registered 10 years agoThe cast choices look good. Dennis Pennis seems surprisingly well suited to Thoros.
The only one "wrong" is Missandei. I guess Nathalie Emmanuel won't be playing a 10 year old girl.

Registered 6 years ago^ Chance for more boobs though innit?
Heard an interesting theory of the letter that Jon got from Ramsey in ADWD. Theory is that it was written from Mance Rayder instead. After his spearwives are killed he scrawls a message sending it to the wall writing it so that it will inflame Jon, the Queens men and the Wildlings drawing them all to march south which is what he wants. -

So, I am approx halfway through the existing books...
Last bit I read was Jon Snow taking command of the Wall to repel the attack by Mance Ryder, and then discovering that Noye was killed by the king of the giants in the tunnel.
I guess I'm still on the 'interesting' books - I've been reading this pretty solidly since the beginning of December (I'm obviously a much slower reader than Genji!) and am absolutely loving it. Just a bit concerned about reading too many spoilers in this thread.
But hey, the Red Wedding - shit, I wasn't expecting that!
Nor indeed the events at King's Landing on the first day of the new century!Not as nice as I used to be
