Okay, this review is flooded with book spoilers so I'm going to spoiler-cut them, but still thread carefully.

1. THIS. Yes. What? I mean, we never got Robb's POV in the books, so I guess they have to make shit up for the details, but... yes. What you said.

6. LOL. I know, right?

7. My thoughts EXACTLY! From now on, shows are going to lost points for showing childbirth. Of any kind.

13. What? WHAT? TELL MEEEEEEE!!!

14. Dany seems to have dialed back the crazy just a touch this season... I'm sure she'll go nuts soon.

15. Fewer gratuitous whore scenes would be good, HBO, thanks.

1. That. But from what he said he met her when he conquered her castle but she's apparently this oh so very lovely gentle thing, not a sassy pro nursemaid XD that said since she didn't have much of a personality I get why they'd try to spice it up.I just need her to be JEYNE WESTERLING, not who-knows-the-name from Volantis ( ... )

1. Yeah. Though a big part of her... personality was that she was all meek and kind. I dunno. I was very o_O during that scene.

7. Hopefully they won't have to show it again b/c hey we already know what that is now!

13. Oooooh, I see where you're going with this. I don't recall if they mentioned Jeyne Poole much last season either... but I think your theory is actually very sound and highly likely. Crap. Though I feel sort of bad saying that all the whores look pretty much the same to me, so I hadn't actually noticed it was Ros in all those scenes! But she's WAY too old to pose as Arya. I mean Jeyne was only just Sansa's age, so that's at least plausible... I don't like that either, if that's where they're going with this :(

I get that you can't carry on for long with a character that is only gentle and meek and eager, even though I liked her being like that. :/ Idk my only major quibble would be if they don't make her highborn and they go for the doomed love story where he marries a lowborn girl, but seriously, Robb isn't a total idiot and I can get that he'd marry her for honor reasons, but not for OMG I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU reasons. He's NED'S son dammit, if he fucks himself over it has to be for honor ( ... )
