just started 4.  Slow, does it suck?

It's not as good as the others, but I enjoyed it. Most of the book is developing new characters and the plot doesn't really seem to move, but I think that the Dornish characters will end up being very important in the next two books.

I liked 4 just fine.

I liked 4 but there are a bunch of new characters introduced that you don't really care about at first.

I liked 4 but probably because everybody I know told me it was awful so I went into it expecting the worst. It was pretty good.

Was Robb's wife at the Red Wedding in the book? For some reason I was thinking that he made her stay back at Riverrun.

The book version his wife was a Westerling, some minor Lannister bannerman family.  She lived because she wasn't at the wedding and wasn't knocked up.

Read the books a while back and still that episode was brutal.  The silence at the end was like.................  good show.

Man that SUCKED. Any of the challengers would be preferable to Geoffrey, but damn. I liked those characters. I'm just going off the show.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

I only read the book, but why did anyone like Robb and Catelyn? Easily the worst Starks.

I haven't read the books yet. To me, they were very good characters in the show, but I've heard they're portrayed differently in the books.

sansa is by far the worst (book and tv).  robb kinda sucks, catelyn is a rough ridin' badass.  the two young boys are horrible in the book because they cause pages and pages of boring text whenever martin decides to write their pov.

other than the younger girl and catelyn they all suck for one reason or another.
