I really love these reviews of yours and I hope you continue making them throughout the season. :D

1) Don't have much to say about this, other than I really liked that scene and also the fact that Robb at least still has enough faith in Theon to believe he might have taken them with him if he returned to the Iron Islands. <3

6) I've seen quite a few people complaining about the way Jojen and Meera were introduced, but come on, people, you knew it was going to be different than in the books (since it didn't happen in the 2nd season). I actually felt they did a pretty good job with it and I like the casting for them as well (especially Jojen). I have a feeling they might get somehow separated along the way, though. As in, they'll travel together for a while, but then something will happen that separates them. I don't think that necessarily has to mean that Osha and Rickon will be out of the picture. They might show them on their own way, idk. Because they can't change that without changing pretty major plotlines. I want to see Davos being badass while searching for Rickon, damnit! x3 Speaking of Davos, I missed him this episode

Oh god, Theon. ;__; I seriously covered my eyes a few times when the torture was happening. But the screams will still haunt me. :| And this only the beginning, dear god. I imagine it'll probably get even more gruesome, especially when Ramsay starts the torture himself. These scenes are so fucking painful, I don't know how I'll be able to survive them

ME TOO UGH I CAN'T I CAN'T I CAN'T ;_________; THEEEOOONNN ;_____; no seriously I was doing badly enough then he went DON'T LEAVE ME HERE at *Ramsay* (obv he doesn't know) and I just - ugh. Nope. No. Can't deal. And we're barely started jfc, I'm not sure I can take any of this DDDDD

Talisa is tbh the proof that these people couldn't write anything in the mindset of asoiaf in the first place because regardless of anything else, she's a total Mary Sue which couldn't even exist in the books because THERE AREN'T MARY SUES IN THE BOOKS. I mean she's like so *perfect* and *shiny* and *everything awesome* and she has the *love story* with the *protagonist* (sorta), and.. that's the fucking point, that shit doesn't happen in asoiaf damn it, the Mary Sue DOESN'T EXIST XDD I really hope she's a Lannister spy even if it makes Robb look even more stupid *facepalm*, but until now she's basically been lovey-dovey with him (meh), done what Catelyn should have been doing all along (rage) and basically just - I can't. I gained a new appreciation for Jeyne Westerling like you can't even imagine, lol

[the_crazy_freak]

Speaking of Talisa being a spy, have you seen that video analysis of this theory on Youtube then?

Also, wait what?!! Gendry/Mel?!! I don't remember anything like that happening in the books. Is this a fan thing?! Or do people suspect there might be some chance of it on the show or?!! O____O

Sorry for butting in, btw. ^^;

[janie_tangerine]

No problem XD

Talisa: nope, I haven't! Mmmh interesting, I'm gonna have to look that up... and to think that if I hope that she is then I'm also hoping Robb leaves *that* kind of bad image to the posterity - you fucked up the war BECAUSE YOU FELL FOR A SPY? *facepalm*

Er apparently it happens in one of the trailers. I've seen like two of them because I was trying to stay unspoiled so I have no clue of how/when/if it's happening, but... it's apparently a thing. Idek. Really. I actually live in terror of the moment it happens, if it does XD (but if it's in the trailer I suppose it does D:)

[the_crazy_freak]

Hey! :)

Since I know you like the Blackfish, here's a little preview of him (if you haven't seen it yet): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlmTBjE2kgg (his bit starts at about 6:20)

Btw, there's also a scene where Mel is with Beric (wtf?! I don't think that ever happened in the books?!!), meaning the rumours about her meeting Gendry are probably true. =/

[janie_tangerine]

OMG THANKS I HADN'T SEEN IT OMG *__* he looks perfect! And Edmure looks amazing as well and jghdfjgkf TULLYS TULLYS <333 and ahah yes other than the usuals I also live a Blackfish appreciation life, sadly they didn't put him in charge at the beginning of book one ;) ;)

... haha. Yeah. Saw it. Ugh. I'll just pretend it never happened when it actually happens, the end.

[the_crazy_freak]

Idk, when it comes to the Tullys, I was kinda in the same boat as with the Tyrells. I thought they were ok, but never cared THAT much about them. But from seeing the preview, I actually think the show is gonna make me love them. And I'm sure I'll be paying more attention to them when I reread the books (and when I read the future two books as well). :)

Sigh. I mean... what are they even trying to do here? Maybe they want Gendry to take Edric Storm's place as Robert's bastard that Mel wants to sacrifice (because they won't bring in Edric at all)? I can't see any other reason why they should meet at all.

[janie_tangerine]

I have no freaking clue why I ended up being a ridiculous Tully person - okay no I know, the Blackfish was awesome, also I always thought Edmure was adorable xD - but they have the *boring* + *useless* rep and I think they're all awesomecakes ;) I hope the show makes you come to the dark side! We have excellent fish. :D

I think that they definitely want Gendry to take Edric's place (THEY COULDN'T HAVE CAST EDRIC, NOOO) but then again even if it was the case why the hell would Mel seduce Gendry seriously WHY. I'm already having a hard time buying that Mel actually seduced Stannis in the first place, don't jump the shark like that.
