As far as I remember, he (Ghost) doesn't do anything important on the ride north, and is described as being "chained up" for the first good while that Jon is on the wall. If he has no part to play, who cares if he's off camera? :P

Also, I agree with you that Jaime's conversations with Robert were good, but I haven't cared overmuch for his interactions with Ned. The two actors seem to overdo it a bit. They get right up in each other's faces and have very threatening-sounding verbal sparring matches before stalking off in opposite directions. I know the two aren't exactly friends, but both of the times they chatted on screen, it looked like they were about to come to blows. I don't remember nearly that level of antagonism from the books. Book-Jaime seems much more aloof to me.


It's true that Ghost doesn't do much at this point in the story, but it would still be nice to remind people that he's there. As it stands right now, the brand new viewer saw Jon pull up the runt, get laughed at and told that one's his, then we haven't seen it again for three episodes. When Ghost finally does show up, it will be kind of out of nowhere if they don't establish him.

I think that making Jaime and Ned more antogonistic toward each other will make the future scene where Jaime orders the death of Ned's entire guard more cutting, and will establish Jaime as a higher level villain in the minds of the viewers before he's captured by Robb and before we get to see his side of things in the third season (hopefully).

*sigh* You had to go and make me check, didn't you? Ghost is in Episode 2, but not 3. - 04/05/2011 01:14:51 AM 668 Views

I hadn't considered that possibility, but it makes sense. - 03/05/2011 11:07:48 PM 819 Views
haha, I was actually thinking that'd be a good thing. - 04/05/2011 01:25:26 AM 721 Views

I think its a good idea to CGI ... if it looks good. - 04/05/2011 06:47:28 PM 762 Views
I wonder if CGI is preferable to creative camera angles. - 04/05/2011 09:26:47 PM 846 Views
