On Jeyne Westerling: tbf, I think that Jeyne's story couldn't have been done justice. They wouldn't have explained the whole setting, so it would've just been Robb coming back with a girl and explaining... which would give the viewer no sympathy for the two of them as a couple. That being said, I felt like Robb's insistence on marrying a girl he bedded was really key to his honourable nature and similarity to Eddard. IDK.

Hey.

I think it could have. If they were expanding Robb as a character, they could have showed him at the Crag, getting wounded and taken care by the Westerling household. Nothing better to give him sympathy as a character, than showing him as a hero wounded after battle. Also adding some needed drama to the situation, being his life and his cause under threat. And from there, settling the relationship as a mistake and a moment of grief filled with weakness and easy comfort. From there they could have expanded both characters, and added some dimension, if that’s what they wanted.

I think they didn’t have sympathy at all, at least not from readers. Most people were annoyed at her, and him in terms of the relationship with his mother.

I still think the original story was possible, and it would have given him, and her, more sympathy. It would have worked in my case anyway. I mean, if they were trying to buy him some sympathy, they didn’t accomplish it.

Agreed with your last sentence.

Thanks.

I can`t wonder about plot holes any more, they`re too much for me right now. I`ll just go with the the walking dead flow, where they`re really inspired in the original story, but writing their own new one... which is really sad... I mean, Talisa???what happened there? pregnant?dead? I still believe she is a spy man, does this mean Jeyne Westerling is NOT pregnant?

Hey anon.

Personally I don’t think she was a spy after all. I think they wanted us to think she was a spy. The letter she was writing might really have been for her mother. The spy theory was good, but that would have meant the writing was even more sloppy than what we had expected.

On the other hand, I wouldn’t connect this to the real Jeyne, and what’s is going on in the books. Whether she’s pregnant or not, it doesn’t have much to do with Talisa and what the show decide to change, imo. After all, the show runners have said themselves that it is not anymore about the books. So, I guess they are taking more liberties than what we expected, and it doesn’t matter what they know or they don’t know about GRRM’s future plans. Maybe they’ll just keep the books as guidelines.

Thanks!
