Are we talking about the actors that are playing the characters or character adaptation? i'm listing the characters as they are portrayed in comparison to the books. like if their actions and script are better or worse in comparison to the books.

I like marg because we can see a lot more of her in the show for the reason I posted before. since it's not POV, they can make her character more interesting.

Man I don't know show Jaime is spectacular. He just nails it. I love book and show Jaime a lot but man I don't know what else you want from show Jaime.
I LOVE Nicolaj. Hate how much of a villain they portray him as in s01 and s02 though. some of his actions are unforgivable, anyway you see it.

Quote:
Ramsey, eh, I think show Ramesy is pretty good, they need some humor that isn't there in the books.
Ok, this one is more about the actor and not about the script. And I don't know exactly why, but I was hoping for someone darker and serious instead of the joker version of westeros. older, too. I think I was imagining him a bit like his father. psychotic? yes. but calm and collected.

Quote:
You like book Stannis better than show Stannis? I mean I don't even. Show Stannis is the best adaptation in the series and it's not close. Show Stannis is just spectacular.
The guy isn't even in the trailers. it's like he doesn't even exist.

If that's your opinion of either show or book Stannis then I have nothing to say to you.

I think they bungled the last appearance of Stannis in the show with Davos. Davos' appearance when he reads the Night's Watch letter was maybe one of my favorite scenes in the whole book, and the dialogue in the show wasn't very well done.

Whatever, as long as they nail the Wyman Manderly "My son is home" monologue, I'm a happy man.

I really prefer the TV take on Varys, he's given alot more depth in the show I think and the actor who plays him gives him a quiet dignity that I didn't really get from just reading the books.

BTW I'm kind of pissed that they already used the episode title "The North Remembers". FU, Lord Manderly owns that title you clowns

for real, "The North Remembers" / Manderly is like the highlight of that book. we actually get to some hope for the Starks

Quote:
My son Wendel came to the the Twins a guest. He ate Lord Walder's bread and salt, and hung his sword upon the wall to feast with friends. And they murdered him. Murdered, I say, and may the Freys choke upon their fables. I drink with Jared, jape with Symond, promise Rhaegar the hand of my own beloved granddaughter ... but never think that means I have forgotten. The north remembers, Lord Davos. The north remembers, and the mummer’s farce is almost done. My son is home.

The wolf will prove the boy is who we say he is, should the Dreadfort attempt to deny him. That is my price, Lord Davos. Smuggle me back my liege lord, and I will take Stannis Baratheon as my king

I'm talking about the character adaptation, sounds like we're on the same page here.

I didn't like him killing his cousin at all, I agree that that was a pretty huge mistake. I think I've just kind of blocked that out. Other than that he's been really great.

If your criticism of show Stannis is that we need MOAR STANNIS, then yes absolutely agree.

Charles Dance plays more or less the same character in Bleak House. He is great when he is typecast as a talk softly bad ass.

Tangent: as TV adaptations go, that was a decent production of Bleak House. Philip Davis does a great Mr. Smallweed.

Oberyn's so awesome.

I think of it as "My son is home" rather than "The North Remembers" because I got serious goosebumps my first time through the book on the line.

my dad told me that in his translated version they used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silurus instead of blackfish.

How sick is it that these people have jobs. They chose a random blackish fish from wikipedia and decided to use it.
