I only peeked at words not visuals. so I know who gets it, but not how, or how the doom came to pass.

Just finished series 2. I am comparing to the book and don't like that a few bits have changed... like Riverrun seems to not be important whereas in the book it is very important. Also, Robb seems to have directly defied his mother by getting married where in the book they weren't anywhere near each other... He just turned up married.

Also... where has Greatjon gone? He was all loud and Robb's number 1 supporter but seems to have just disappeared.

Why did they make it so that Arya was helped to escape from Harrenhal? She killed someone herself in the book, not had Jaqen do it all for her.

The whole Qarth thing is different. What is going on with Jon is all different.

I don't really understand why they have redone stuff... There doesn't seem to be any reason for it.

I am on page 286 of Feast for Crows. I imagine I will hit series 4 in about a week so will be well over half way through the book by then I should think.

But apart from your niggles do you like it or not? Wink

I think the Arya thing was changed to give her a longer and more satisfying character arc. You need to wait until you watch episode 1 of season 4 to get what I mean. If they made her a killer that early at Harrenhal it takes a great deal away from the Revenge she takes later on her journey. The Red Wedding is the beginning of Aryas transformation from victim into slayer. In Harrenhal she is defo still a victim of circumstance. So too early and it takes the oomph out of the gut punch later. Trust me they made the right choice to have Jaqen do the dirty for her.
