Game of Thrones 1.3-1.5 + upcoming fairy tale mashups

[meganbmoore]

I am now ready for the deaths of the following characters:  Viserys, Joffrey, Robert, Baelish and Theon.

I am saddened that they won't all die.

In general, I like the showm but don't have a lot to say?  I think because most of my thoughts center around upcoming book bits.

I always thought that Tyrion "fancied" Sansa. I don't get the vibe that he likes Cat - in fact, he is much younger (one of the rare characters because all the rest is much older) than in the books, so I HOPE the show will do Sansa/Tyrion nicely when it comes.

Both Loras and Renly were kind of ridiculous (for which I have my own bee in a bonnet).

I like how they write Cat, Dany and Sansa. Cersei - I loved her as a power bitch she is in the book. I thought the fact that she was like that was important. But we will see.

I can't help but think thathaving Baelish tell Sansa about Sandor's past instead of Sandor himself is an indicator that they're going to be changing that plotline up a bit. IIRC, Sansa is actually the first person he ever told about that?

I think so too - they probably will change all that storyline. I liked it very much (I genearlly like everything around Sansa). I was upset first, but I will be fine if they do well with Sansa and Tyrion, which is highly possibl seeing Tyrion is written so nicely.

There's too much fang filing (presumably to make them more "likable") with Cat and Cersei to me. With Dany, they're emphasizing the "perfect white princess and the barbarians" a bit too much, though not as heavily as in the first 2 episodes. With Sansa, I can't help but think the show sees Sansa the way Arya does, but the show isn't a kid, so I'm less inclined to shrug it off.

I think there is a little of this, but on the whole she is much more sypmpathetic than she is in the first 2-3 books (for example, I definitely sensed the vibe of "Ned should ahve sepent more time with Sansa than with Arya" from the show).
