    I saw online that season 4 began filming today. Robb Stark wasn't there.

    did you miss the season's last two episodes?

    No just a friendly reminder. Govern your tongue the next time you speak to me.

    I watched the show without reading the books...now Im correcting my folly. There is quite a lot that the show does not show from the books...some of the characterization is different also. Tyrion Lannister for example, is not as relateable, or decent as the show may suggest.

    How far have you gotten in the books? Tyrion seems about the same to me. He was always a good character, but he didn't really come into his own until he became the Hand of the King. Have you gotten there in the books yet?

    Just about. For me, Tyrion in the show sms to have a sense of pity towards the Starks....it appears that he wouldn't really mind if Robb won his northern war. In the books however, he seems more edgy...somehow.

    I don't really agree with that at all. Tyrion had friendly relations with Jon, helped Brand, showed kindness to Sansa, and expressed distaste towards Ned's death the same in the books as he did in the show. The only people from the Stark family he had any sort of edge towards were Cat and Rob, and that's because both of them treated him like ? . Although, Rob realized that he was wrong about Tyrion and warmed up a little. Cat never did take off her blinders even after strongly considering the fact that she may have been wrong. If anything, you should look at him more sympathetically after reading the book. Because it's driven home far more clearly how much of an outcast he is and how hard a time he's had, yet he still manages to show loyalty to his family while also at least trying to do right by others.

    You were late to the battle but clearly you have assessed the field in a manner one should hold in high regard.

    The only reason Joffrey needs to go is because he is the weak link. While Cersei is an upjumped ? , she does have a certain ? attraction to her.

    So I'm reading through the books and haven't even gotten as far as the Blackwater battle, but damn, as much of a G as Arya is in the show, she's much more in the book. It's crazy. In the show yhou almost get the feeling like her training with Syrio accomplished nothing. In the books, she's probably got a body count that rivals Rob's and he's fighting in an actual war.

    Any man who doesn't see the milf qualities in Cersei is a prime candidate to join the Unsullied.

    I ordered the books about half way through the first season. Glad I did. Though I clicked on a user review for Clash of Kings and this scribe wannabe ? writes out something like "After the death of his father, Robb Stark raises an army...." and a friend of mine spoiled Drogo. ? .

    The book really fleshes out some of the characters. Sansa is even more of an idiot in the books (I've read halfway through the second) if it can be believed. One interesting aspect is the history of the Targaryens is delved into more, which is very interesting.

    You get the sense that Rhaegar might have been an O.G. Also, Ned Stark was a beast....dude went up against some of the legends in Westeros and held his own.

    Well, sort of. He did go up against some legends, but he usually had a numbers advantage and his crew still took major losses. Also, the TV show introduced those kids rolling with Bran in a different way than was done in the book. In the book, you learn that their father basically saved Ned's ass when he was fighting one of the best swordsmen in the realm. So, I ain't saying Ned was a ? , but it's pretty clear he wasn't ever in the top tier of warriors. Robert on the other hand was a beast in his prime.

    It was implied that he faced the "Sword of the Morning" one on one though. And Dayne was supposed to be one of the premier fighters of his era.

    Remember, Eddard was a Stark. That family is made up of tough stuff (Torrhen Stark notwithstanding)

    Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying he isn't tough. I'm just saying he wasn't on the legendary status when it comes to pure combat skills that others were.
