    Interesting exchange at 33:40, if anyone missed it.

    The ending was good, but did anyone else think the episode was a little blah?

    I'm midway through the fourth book (it's taken me from the beginning of the show three years ago to get this far) so I know the basic framework of what is coming. Dalyn's right. The books are very dense, but the density is packed with a lot of nuance and detail (some it almost overwhelming) that helps point the way for the plot.

    Joffrey is the most hateful character in the series (although he is rivaled by his mother and Bolton's bastard at some points), so it was good to see him go. The scene in the book is more complex and detailed, so it was interesting to see how it was shaped for television.

    Listen to the conversation and pause it at 33:55 and really pay attention to Sansa. (time stamp may be different, but it should be close)

    Sounded like in an interview with a head of HBO that HBO already has it mapped out how they will end Games even though Martin has written that far yet.

    A satisfying end to the second episode of this season.

    Meanwhile, I was very pleased with Mindy Kaling's thoughts on the matter:

    Yeah. They met with him and he told them how it ends.

    The Jaime scene is the biggest one so far. I knew that was going to be a problem when they brought him home early.

    Some here and there. I can only store so many characters in my head, so I think there's been more in terms of divergence from the books than I've noticed, but I have noticed a few things.

    Last night's episode jumped ahead to Book 6 (or maybe even 7) because there is a scene not contained in any of the first five books.

    The whole Bran situation is completely new.

    And they also changed who named Oathkeeper. I guess they don't like Jaime. Two of the most recent changes were pointless character assassination pieces against him. He is one of my favorites in the book, so this is the first time I've been unhappy with the show. Really irritates me. The skill in which Jaime's character is developed in the series is just another sign of how awesome Martin is. Hate that they've ****ed with it.

    Agree. Never picked a favorite in the book (except Danerys is my least favorite), but the development of Jamie that I've seen in the books is really muted in the series.

    Had to look up a couple of things today to try to remember the exact Bran situation because I simply didn't recall what was depicted last night as being in the third or fourth books.

    It looks like HBO is really going to condense things with a lot of shorthand. Martin seems to be handling it fairly well, but I imagine it's going to tick off a lot of A Song of Ice and Fire fans.

    If they condense too much, they are going to have a huge problem. That is why I am not upset when they add new plots like with Bran. But changing a character as drastically as they are changing Jaime is just pointless. Stannis is another they can't seem to get right. Other than that, I absolutely love the show.
