But it comes with the blessings of The Lord of Light. That’s good! But all light casts shadows. That’s bad… ---

I’m lactose intolerant, so frogurt _is_ “full or terrors”. ---

> [@drastic\_quench](#): > > When I read Robb’s death, I had to go back and reread the passage. I thought, _no, that can’t be right._ The viewers might feel less concern about Robb’s fate than the readers. In the show, Robb isn’t that likeable and often appears to be an almost secondary character. ---

My biggest gripe so far is how poorly the war was portrayed on a TV budget. Robb’s character loses out when the coolest stuff he does is off screen. 2nd hand works better in text than on screen. If this series really does wrap up in massive battles, hopefully the ratings will justify a budget to do it justice. ---

I was most peeved by the Battle of the Green Fork. Watching the series only you’d think that Tyrion got cold cocked and sat that one out, whereas in the book he was a bad ass at it and impressed quite a few others who were there. ---

He is dreamy, though, and he is a son trying to avenge the murder of his father. That’s enough for a lot of people. ---

Huh. Jamie gets to King’s Landing after Joffery is dead. How are they going to work out that timeline on the show? I guess Jamie and Brienne won’t reach King’s Landing til next season? Or will they just have Jamie show up earlier than he does in the book? ---

Tommen’s not married yet, is he? I thought he was still only betrothed. ---

If I recall correctly, the Red Wedding also has a bit where The Hound hits Arya with his axe… and we find out later that it was just the flat of the axe and she’s fine. I wonder if they’ll do a fakeout of that sort in the series? Particularly if they don’t resolve the cliffhanger until next season? That would be sooooooooooo mean. ---

Particularly if they don’t resolve the cliffhanger until next season? That would be sooooooooooo mean. I could easily see that being the last scene - Arya looking at the devastation after the wedding, without hope or any idea what to do next, looks up, we see the Hound’s axe hurtling toward the camera - cut to black. See you next Spring! It would be so evil!
