That conversation between Tywin and Arya really was perfect. She held that gaze just long enough to feel the emotion

Originally posted by Dieselspeed View PostThis past episode was pretty awesome, if you ask me. Davos Seaworth has to be one of my favorite characters, along with Gendry, Jorah Mormont, Sandor Clegane, and Barristan Selmy, though he hasn't shown up lately. Tyrion and Arya are up there as well, naturally.Originally posted by Jay3 View PostI cannot believe Tyrion appears so late in the post. And "up there?!"Where's the rimshot?
Tyrion... up there..."...my giant of a Lannister."
One of the best things they've done with this show is Tyrion. They've hit it out of the park with him. He was always THE fan favorite, even before the show, and it's great to see the HBO character living up to the book character. Hats off to Dinklage and all those involved with bringing him aboard. Which reminds me... I knew Peter Dinklage's face, but I didn't know his name... until a "Cast the books" type of thread on the Westeros board about 7 or so years ago. He's always been the unanimous fan choice for the part. Interesting how that worked out.Winter is Coming!

The show makes her so much more likable. To pre-show book readers she's probably the most hated main character - for good reason. I just see her as... well, I won't go there... yet.Winter is Coming!

Originally posted by Frenchy180 View PostGotta say, so far the book is doing a good job following the show... Bravo Mr. Martin!That's funny, Frenchy. I needed that this morning.
You won't find much deviation in the first book. There's a lot that's left out in that first season (backstory and details mostly), and they change a few minor things, but it's pretty much a literal adaptation.
Now, with book 2... GRRM changed a bunch of stuff in that one so far...Winter is Coming!

However, The Tower of the Hand (http://www.towerofthehand.com/) has a scope feature on their website. Basically, you designate how far you are in the series (e.g. "I have read through A Clash of Kings") and the site hides information from later books. Very handy; and lots of great info there - - and it's presented very well.
That reminds me, Remedy. Have you read the Dunk & Egg short stories yet? If not, I highly recommend them to you (or anyone that loves the books/series and wants some backstory). There are 3 of them so far (out of a planned 9) and they're all in different fantasy/sci-fi compilations, but if ye look ye shall find.
They're great... set in Westeros about 100 years before the start of AGOT. There are no spoilerish things in them so even if you haven't read all of the main books yet you can still enjoy them. In fact, there's some rather important backstory there, and in my opinion, they will mesh wholly with the "present story" before it's all done.
