Game of Thrones begins....

[Martinus]

Without going too much into the details, how did they change Daenerys and Catelyn?

Hard to explain.  Cat was against Ned going for one but I think it is the best way to go since you cannot see her thoughts in a TV series.

Unless you have read the books fairly recently, I hate people like you - the ones who remember all these little details. I remember the general feel of the books - have no idea what Catelyn's motivations were (beyond the pretty simple ones).

I would think that people who remember little details would be useful in your line of work, that is, if you really are a lawyer.

Not really. You need to know how to do research, not learn things by heart.

I'll wait till a real lawyer, shows up before I'll make a judgment on that.

Yep, at a client meeting nothing screams "I don't know what I'm talking about" like "I'll have to get back to you on that one".

I hope Cat's less of whiny bitch in the TV show. Her POVs were always the worst until Brienne came along aand took a big dump on the series.

Gups hates strong women. Film at 11.

I didn't mind Catelyn, but dear God Brienne was painful. Especially in the last book. She as mildly interesting when she was the insight into Jaime at least. Once she stomped off on her own, I really could not fucking care less. Hell, she was off looking for Sansa, and since we all KNOW where Sansa is, and we know she isn't vaguely close to finding her...what exactly was the fucking point?

I started to like her POV at the end of AFFC but I do not remember it very well.  I just started re-reading it though so I will see.

Same here.
But her POV chapters could definitely have been cut down a lot, or at least could have gotten more direction. Anything to prevent AFFC from becoming a bunch of "nothing happens". Maybe Brienne could have actually picked up Sansa's trail and been following her & Littlefinger, or something.

My least favourite was Sansa. It was all whine whine whine omg Jeoffrey is so handsome whine whine whine swoon. Having a typical teenage girl as a narrator = bad idea.

[Faeelin]

Yeah, what was so changed about Daeny and Drogo? I mean, their "relationship" so far (as in the book) amounts to her getting married off to him and being terrified at the prospect.

The scene in the book ends with her falling in love with him a bit, because he was a gentle and compassionate lover. But I can see why that is not what HBO wants to go for.

Yeah she had a crush on Joff for most of the first book but that was what made her interesting.  She was a young idealist who got smacked by the real world and how she deals with it.  I certainly was there back in my early teens.

I love Sansa she is one of my favs but then I always love the 'everyman' (so to speak) stuck in extraordinary circumstances.  I especially love how she says 'Fuck you' so well while on the surface saying and doing all the right things.  I think she is really going to surpise people at the end.

Irony:  not just the opposite of wrinkly.
