It was actually worse in the book Roland00 Send a noteboard - 10/04/2012 03:03:58 PM
Haven't actually seen the episode, but for what it's worth... :P
I found that Pyke was handled rather well, even if I don't recall Asha (or whatever her name is now) teasing Theon or rather him hitting on her that much.

There was plenty of it in the book, so unless they really exaggerated big time in the episode, it was probably accurate.
And once again the show proves that it does not really appreciate Martin's more subtle hints in the books and instead decides to let Stannis and Melisandre go at it right away. I thought that was a little much.

Agreed. I recall it pretty much like you do - hints that there might be something going on, but without it ever becoming clear.


In the book the groping was both ways. (Asha was just doing it to screw with Theon though). In the show it was only one way.

I don't think so ironclad - 09/04/2012 03:36:52 PM 797 Views
It VERY lightly hints at it. *SPOILERS* Kotagg - 09/04/2012 09:00:59 PM 813 Views
I felt it was strongly hinted in the books Mark - 10/04/2012 01:30:01 PM 961 Views
Exactly. In fact, until she said something to Jon in DWD, I felt the actual copulation was ambiguous Cannoli - 10/04/2012 02:02:13 PM 887 Views
I just think even with 10 hours of content this season, there isn't time for subtle hints..... Anonymous2000 - 09/04/2012 05:50:15 PM 749 Views
The little Theon-Asha thing is definitely there in the book. Legolas - 09/04/2012 08:18:49 PM 872 Views

The actor got a better offer. Werthead - 09/04/2012 10:45:18 PM 912 Views
I'm starting to get annoyed by the casting and the adaptations of the dialogue Cannoli - 10/04/2012 02:33:34 PM 873 Views
Point for point, exactly why this episode disappointed me. *NM* Kotagg - 10/04/2012 06:49:59 PM 356 Views

The TV show should remind everyone that Martin should write screenplays, not novels. Tom - 16/04/2012 03:30:22 PM 759 Views
Except of course he's not really doing this.. DomA - 16/04/2012 07:05:22 PM 897 Views
