Is Loras part of the Kingsguard in the show already? Because that's important and stuff.

I don't think he is. In the book he asked to he in the Kingsguard at the same time he asked Joffery to marry Margaery...but I don't think he asked to be in the Kingsguard in the show (IIRC).

Sounds right.

Should finish book three today.

How many of you have watched this weeks show? I'm pretty rough ridin' pissed about Gendry. They're rough ridin' up the storyline.

I imagine they are using him to replace having to introduce Edric Storm into the storyline (which does mean they won't be killing him off, so they'll probably figure a way to bring him back in line with the standard story arc)

It seems like all the needless deviations from the books are primarily driven by trying avoid adding new characters to the show... rough ridin' actor's guild!

Still, who is going to save Brienne from Biter now? Hot Pie?

HerrSonntag · « **Reply #309 on:** May 07, 2013, 07:43:11 AM »

Thats far enough down the road from when he goes into hiding to escape the red woman, that it could still be him. But who knows?

OK_Cat · « **Reply #310 on:** May 07, 2013, 10:42:13 AM »

that was the first episode of the series that i was pretty bored with. meh.

i think the problem with so many characters is that all of the storylines are getting short amounts of time each week so it's hard to care at times. i'd rather have seen more of hot dragon chick than watching the douchebag getting tortured, or the fat kid failing at making a campfire.

yeah, last epi was terrible. fillers not needed unless they really are splitting book 3 into two seasons.

Not very much happened except a bunch of straying from the book.

Super PurpleCat · « **Reply #313 on:** May 07, 2013, 09:59:55 PM »

Some good talking scenes. They can't all be Dracarys episodes.

They have already said that book three will be two seasons.

They also said that they are eliminating characters in order to keep the television show plot manageable, which is understandable.

I think the next episode should be pretty good. Martin is directing it.

Mrs. Gooch · « **Reply #316 on:** May 08, 2013, 08:01:23 AM »

How many weddings do you think will happen by the end of the season?

mocat · « **Reply #317 on:** May 08, 2013, 08:02:17 AM »

Joffrey's will be next week, or at least it should be. Edmure's will be episode 9.

Mrs. Gooch · « **Reply #318 on:** May 08, 2013, 08:05:03 AM »

Sansa & Tyrion's should be before Joffery's.

Oh yes, you are correct.

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #320 on:** May 08, 2013, 08:13:59 AM »

I don't think Joffrey will get married until early next season.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Even if that happened in the book before Edmore's the relative sequence of them doesn't really matter that much since they are physically so far apart.

I thought it was kind of funny that Tywin threatened to put Loras in the Kingsguard when he is really already supposed to be in the Kingsguard.

I think it's better this way, really.

*Spoiler
It will make more sense when Cersei sends him off to die.

***Not sure if this qualifies as spoiler***** since nothing specific is mentioned, but:

I think it will be the last epi of this season as a cliff hanger for Tyrion.
