I wish they would invest less times in characters that don't need development and use their time to make the plots that put other characters forward. I mean, they literally gave Cat a third of what she had on the book and they gave Robb twice as much of what his character needed. And they totally fucked up the use of that time.

I think I don’t even compare Cat’s screen time to Robb’s anymore. I know the expansion of Robb reduced Cat as a character, but in season 3, I think she was just left to the side mostly because of the involvement of Talisa, who even took her place, and lines at times. Even Robb says to Talisa “you were right! the karstarks are gone”, giving credit for his mother’s advice to his wife. wtf?!

And in general. Cat as a character should have had, at least, as many scenes as Daenerys, or Jaime in this season, since if I remember correctly, they are close in the number of chapters, and therefore material.

Oh well.

Thanks.

What do you think about the way they are showing the direwolfs in the show? I didn't like how Grey Wind died, he seemed so small and meek, they could have had a great scene with him breaking out if the cage and taking a few Frey soldiers with him, IDK, I though his death was flat. I think they are focusing too much in the dragons and they spend most of the CGI with them, when the wolfs are as important for the Starks as the dragons are for Dany.

Agreed. Now that you point it out, I realize the size is somewhat different to what they had shown it before. During season 2, by Jaime’s cage, when Robb’s is petting him, he looks huge. In this episode he looked like a simple wolf, not direwolf size. Idk.

Anyway I agree, I’m a little pissed about that. They are very significant to the story, so why not add it?

Thanks

What do you think of Richard Madden as Robb?

Hi anon.

I think he improved in this last episode. His performance reminded me a lot to his acting on season 1. I definitely had high hopes for his acting back then, but then season 2 disappointed me on those terms. This season, he definitely worked around some of his acting issues, and had a slight improvement, even though I still didn’t like some of his performance this season. This last episode showed him more in control of his face expressions, and he wasn’t over the top. When he crawls towards Talisa and stares at her dead face, I think he showed what I was supposed to feel for that moment. It was his expressions, not her. Talisa’s death didn’t move me, his face expressions did. I felt sorry for his lost, and for how that moment had a lot of significance for him, even above his cause. Which yeah, it’s the complete opposite feel we were supposed to get from Robb and his cause, but till this point I found no reason to sympathize to show!Robb and his relationship with Talisa. But it was his face that brought me closer to what they were intending to do.

I’ll explain more in the review. I’m almost finished.

Thanks!

In season one Dany tells khal drogo that her baby will be a boy and when he asks how she knows she replies "I know". I would expect Robb to question how his wife knew the sex of the baby too.

What? But Talisa doesn’t know. Robb asked her first, she said she didn’t know, followed by but if it’s a boy I know what we should name him… Robb was inquiring, Talisa was answering with an if.

And Imo Daenerys was just making assumptions. But then again Daenerys’ dreams sometimes give her more details on that, so is not stupid she said that. Also Mirri who is a witch told her your son would have been the Stallion who Mounts the world… blah blah blah, and add the Dosh Kahleen’s prophecies.

Thanks!

lavender-and-creme said: Or maybe Robb was dumb enough to think mothers are sent some sort of signal from the fetus on what their gender is. At the same time I don’t think that line is the dumbest thing they’ve made him say.

I think it was more casual than what we are making it to be. Maybe it was like "do you think it would be a boy or a girl?". But the way it was phrased it sounded stupid, and invited a lot of jokes.

But yeah, Robb has had some of the dumbest lines this season.

I would have loved to see the original story! It was so well constructed that you pitied Robb, and at the same time you were like "you freaking moron, what did you do?!"

They could have showed him at the brink of death, making people worried about his condition. Then recovering and bedding her. And then they cut, and after a couple of episodes, he shows up married in front of his mother. People would have gone crazy about it! They would have hated and understood him at the same time.

It would have been a great touch added to the show.

IMAGINE ALL THE "KING IN THE NORTHS PENIS COST HIM THE WAR" POSTS!

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.
