It is odd how there are some things I am waiting on to be shown on the TV show however at the same time there are other things that I just completely forget. Sure it has been some time since I read the books but I am occasionally shocked that I completely forgot about a part.
This happened with this last episode where I completely forgot about the bear. I will not say anymore as not to ruin it for anyone who has not seen it yet but I completely forgot all about that part of the book and it was such an awesome part that I am shocked I forgot it.
Good scene, but they took all of Jaime's best lines from the book.
"I only save Maidens" and "I dreamed of you"
Good episode all around. Another somewhat boring set up episode for what should be a very eventful final 3.
I feel like Sansa's character in the show has regressed quite a bit. She's much more like she was in season 1 for some reason even though they showed her character changing plenty in season 2 so she wasn't such a naive little girl.
Having Sansa ask things like "Do you think my family will be allowed to come to the wedding?" I mean seriously? And "Did your mother teach you"? Good lord lol. I love how Magery was just kinda like.. uh yes.. my mother did.
Also made her seem really shallow with her dislike of Tyrion being a dwarf. IN the books Tyrion is actually far less attractive (and his scar from Season 2 is far more severe), far less of a white knight, and there is no one telling her how he's not that bad looking. She just comes off as one of those "But he's a dwarf, ew icky" in that scene.
Magery telling her that her sons will be Lord of Winterfell some day, and her just kinda being ok with that statement is a tad bit annoying too. Robb her brother is Lord (King) of Winterfell, he'll only not be lord if he dies, so her son inheriting would only happen it Robb were to die.
I donno she just seems much more like her Naive season 1 self this season, and a lot less like the "I have been through some HORRIBLE things and am basically a prisoner who hopes my brother wins his war and kills all of these people" self from season 2.
I will say that the Tywin/Joffery scene was fantastic, as was the Daenarys/Yunkai scene.
