whats different about margaery? shes still a power hungry cersei wanna be

You didn't know that she had any real aspirations of her own until much, much later in the books. At the beginning she seemed like nothing more than a pawn being passed around for political gain, like the daughters of other houses. It was a real "oh, shit son" moment for me in the books when it's revealed just how much she has been pulling strings all along. They completely took that element of her character away and just have her openly power hungry.

oh, i have always had feelings about Margaery. granted i also have always felt the QoT is the one pulling the strings in the family, but that doesnt mean Margaery doesn't have aspirations. the hoe went from Renly to Joffery to Tommen.... i smell a gold digger [You must be logged in to view images.

As someone who has only read ~300 or so pages of the first book, but is a big fan of the show, I have to say that deviating from the books like they have is not a good idea. My wife has read the books and is quick to tell me when something in the show isn't canon, but usually I can tell because those scenes are written badly. When they add dialogue or situations that weren't in the books, the actors' performances just seem more awkward and the writing isn't great (for example, many of the scenes where daenerys is in qarth, and the conversations between arya and tywin). Having not even read the books I find myself really wishing the writers didn't change so many things unnecessarily.

the only change i really did like better was that they had Jaime and Ned get into a tiff, instead of some horse falling on Ned and breaking his leg.

old news^^ :P

pretty much everyone in this thread agrees that R+L=J



i've decided that "the mummer's dragon" does not imply a fake dragon, or that Aegon is a fake tagaryen, but that its a form of ownership. ie: the dragon that belongs to the mummer.
and that leads me to think that Illyrio is the mummer.

huzzah!
