I see your point but disagree Bramhodoulos Send a noteboard - 30/05/2011 09:20:23 AM
Furthermore, there are the entirely unnecessary scenes that aren't in the book at all. Seeing Tywin was great, and I think the actor did an excellent portrayal of him, but why was that scene there, exactly? It isn't in the book, and it doesn't even make sense given the book's chronology of events. And Littlefinger's scene with the whores was little more than a waste of five minutes to include more boobs in the episode.


The Tywin scene is meant to replace much of the inner dialogue that Catelyn has during the Vardys vs. Bronn battle where is hinted at the upcoming events near Riverrun. As for the butchering of the stag, that's both a pointer to his part in the death of king Robert, but it also seems to be inspired by the bookversion of Sam's father.
As for the brothel scene, I agree they could have done that without boobs (this was over the top for my taste anyways), but having seen the episode twice now I understand they had to put in Littlefingers past somewhere. His boundless ambition and his jealousy for Ned come together in the final line of this episode very nicely.

You know, GRRM likely was very supportive of the scene..... trzaska2000 - 30/05/2011 05:10:58 PM 827 Views
Maybe, but GRRM isn't God and I allow myself to have a differing opinion *NM* Bramhodoulos - 30/05/2011 05:13:14 PM 419 Views
