Oh, and Tyrion loses his nose in the books, or a good portion thereof. I knew this would not be the case in the series simply because it is too expensive and gruesome a make-up trick that really does not matter (Tyrion is supposed to be not only a dwarf, but a butt-ugly phreak. What's-his-face just ain't freaky enough.)
Who cares what happened in the books? What is the point of this post?
she's the one that taught Dany sex.
in the books she died on the way to Quarth.
and Dany's other handmaiden is still alive as of the latest book. (in the tv show she was killed when they took the dragons.)
I believe that faceless men get themselves into situations such as that to further their plans to get targets. Also it is a hell of an alibi.The assassin Jaqen H'ghar is probably one of the most interesting, remarkably powerful characters in the series. So how did he ever get trapped in a wooden cage with two nitwits in the first place?
They only barely do a good job of pointing out how much his father and especially his sister fucking hate him. His brother is touch and go at best.Because as interesting as his character is onscreen, and although Dinklage is doing a great job, Tyrion's freakishness is such a major, consistent plot point, that events that have and will happen lose their impact because he's too pretty on TV.
On TV, he's a midget with a scar. In the books, he's a total freakshow. Things like Shea staying with him and his ascendancy to power and relative success at it (prior to his downfall) are all the more compelling. There's a reason why he had to pay his two best friends (a whore and a sell sword).
It's also impacting the magnitude of his relationship with his siblings and his dad (on TV). (another minor beef, the Lannisters are getting less and less blonde every episode). His brother and sister are the Golden Children of a wealthy house, shining examples of Lannister pride and perfection (nevermind their faults or that cersei is getting up there in age/losing her looks), and they hate him all the more because he is so revolting to look upon, a sign of their weakness/flaws (whereas many will say that his siblings are equally revolting/flawed on the inside).
I love the job Dinklage is doing, but he is just way too pretty to be Tyrion.
What gave Doxos(black dude) power(like the other powerful guys ran spice trades etc)?
Dunno if the answers are obvious but I'm kinda confused on the whole Qarth deal.
kinda letdown by the ease the warlock died.
i guess his illusions didnt fool the dragons and they knew which one was the real him to strike at?
I haven't read the books, but anyone that didn't understand the Halfhand/Snow fight should probably stick to watching less cerebral shows like Glee.
Seriously, do you watch a lot of Glee?
I mean, you sure mention it an awful lot.
4.2 million viewers for the first showing of the finale. http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/20...high-for-viewers-in-2nd-season-finale/136778/
game of thrones is good? I just finish watching spartacus.

The point is, this thread is about the TV show. Not the books. I find it difficult to understand why people can't comprehend this difference.
TV will rot your brain, books are better.
i loved how the first thing tyrion saw when he woke up was a grinning pycelle
'what is dead may never die! aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!'
<thunk>
lol
it was nice to see drogo again
"I will kill the man who wakes me." Loved Drogo in the books too. It was just nice to have one unambiguous character. What you see is what you get.
