GAME OF THRONES #6:-A Golden Crown ACT 6 Chapter 1-2011

I think it might be a good idea to avoid spoilers past what has already happened in the tv show.

As in >> [sblock /sblock] that stuff.

Ok, sblocked for your protection. But are there a lot of people reading this thread who aren't already spoiled? If so, my apologies.

I don't know. It only just occurred to me.

In the show-related threads prior to its start there were a lot of posts with people saying they hadn't read the books but were looking forward to the series, so it's a safe bet that there are.

[sblock]Well, wait, A Feast for Crows is a bad example, the only Stark PoV character is Arya, and she lost Nymeria on the Neck. The only two remaining wolves are Ghost and Summer (since Robb's wolf was killed with him, Sansa's was killed on the Neck, Nymeria is lost, and Rikkon's is God-Knows-Where with Rikkon). And those two wolves, particularly Summer, are going to be very important going forward in the story.[/sblock]

Sigh, an sblock conversation... this was why I created the spoiler thread that has since died and fallen into oblivion. Oh well.

[sblock]My point in using FoC as a reference was simply to state that I'd read through the entire series and after finishing the last book, was questioning just how involved the wolves had been throughout the entire series. They simply don't make that big of an impact so I'm surprised that people are expecting them to be featured more than they have been, since from my perspective, they've been featured just about as much as they were in the books.[/sblock]

I hear that the wolf/dogs are hard to handle, so their appearances are being diminished.

Really? That's totally not the image I got reading the books. Bran was right. She has her family words inside out.

It's fashionable to hate on Catelyn, because she's rash and emotional and cares more about her family than the Game. None of that means she isn't intelligent. It's a little tough to go into specific examples when we're so early into the show, but I'll try.

She susses out why it has to be her to go to King's Landing (despite Bran's petulance). It even works in her favor, when Littlefinger finds her and hides her.

She acts rashly in grabbing Tyrion, but she analyzes the situation, uses honor to win over her people, and tricks anyone going to the Lannisters. It wasn't simply strength of arms.

In the books, while Tyrion is enacting his plan, Catelyn pretty much immediately understands what his plan is. The only reason she can't stop it is because Lysa is crazy and she holds no power there.

For the record, I've never read the books, so I do much appreciate people hiding their spoilers. And I don't have a problem remembering that the kids all have wolves.

Of course, I should probably just avoid internet discussions of the show.

 

[Joker]

I am absolutely loving all the detail in the story. Even though I've never read the books I can tell there's a great amount of history in the setting.

But it's a rare thing to see a series have such detail in the sets. All the little things make it an immersive experience for me.

On a side note, is it me or does the Lannister kid look weird?

 

[Remus Lupin]

The Lannister kid IS weird!
