If every stealing asshole payed what you paid then we'd still get 10 episodes of dragons in boxes. Get off your sanctimonious high horse and stop pretending that studio execs give two shits about what fans want. Not everyone can or wants to pay $90/mo for TV and it's HBOs own damn fault they don't provide any other option for viewing their content.
btw, one thing said in the no books thread made me think. asos/ffc/dwd
is it ever actually explained why they wouldn't be able to resurrect ned? I mean, it's not 100% confirmed yet, but isn't the theory right now that Cersei's champion in her trial by combat is the Mountain's headless body resurrected? and also, Cersei was never promised to wed Loras (or even Willas) in the books, was she? Is Loras already in the Knightsguard in the show, or is him joining the Guard possibly going to be how they avoid having the two marry?
Well, obviously if fucking everyone stole this show and HBO saw zero revenue from it they would still spend $100 million on it a season. If you can't fucking pay for it, then I'm real sorry, but Game of Thrones isn't a right. Neither is Bioshock Infinite. And you get motherfucking banned on the gaming side for talking about stealing that.

Pretty sure your question about Loras (asos)
does not occur until after Tommen is king
Well, she actually has stuff to do this season. She was good in S1 and now really good in S3, which are the two seasons in which her character has had progression. She was bad in S2, but then her arc went nowheres.
tl;dr I blame Dany's S2 non-arc more than Clarke. She's quite good when she has good material.
She's definitely got the material...if you know what I mean.
Im a huge fan of the entire book 4
storyline and how it weaves into the main arch, im very interested in how they will juggle all the new characters/factions that need to be introduced past season 3. Im also hoping they have a good representation of
. Something i really think that the series needs to communicate more is the vastness of westeros and all its bigger cities, so i think a proper representation of those two really could pull that off.

The Citadel
You're wrong,
he joined the KG at the end of ACoK in order to protect his sister since she became engaged to Joffrey.
finally watched the last episode, awesome stuff and makes me wonder about a thing or 2
will the karstarks return when they learn that robb tends to attack casterly rock?
wtf is with stannis´s daughter? is she a dragon? caus at first, I thought it was burn marks, but then it almost looked like scales
and holy shit! the kingslayer is a hero after all, or is he?
finally, some boobs, neogaf rejoice!
and that sex scene with snow/ingrid makes me wanna go to that cave and bring my wife with me, wonder if it´s on Þingvellir or somewhere else
this lord of light stuff is starting to confuse me, at first I thought it was only melissandre when she arrived on the comet (didn´t she?) but now the brotherhood also affiliates with the lord of light?
does that make 3 super powers at work? Wight walkers, Dragons and the Lord of Light?!?

Look, HBO has like a 100 million global subscribers. The million or so non-subscribers who watch Game of Thrones every week wouldn't make a dent on their bottom line. Certainly not enough to up the budget of the show in any tangible way, especially since most of them would cancel after the show ended. Certainly, piracy is wrong, but drop the zeal. It's ridiculous and totally devoid of common sense.
nah, I don´t think that´s the problem, I think the thing is she didn´t have any real story in season 2 but she´s awesome in this one!
Listen here, ladies and gentlemen! Feel free to steal all content from HBO! They will not at all feel the loss of revenue! It's ok! It's legal! And it is fully in line with GAF's TOS!
I will never go into a cave pool ever again.
Like I said earlier in this thread,
he'll most likely join the KG on the show to avoid marrying Cercei.
Yeah, sorry. I think you're quite right about that. I didn't mean to jump to conclusions about what you meant.
Derp. No, they just gave her some good material to work with.
Yup. A nice way to keep everything in line and move things forward faster to set up Cersei and her poor decision making.
Again, the episode ending the Cersei chaffing under her father really was a nice touch on a lot of levels.
I don't know if that was intentional but it's pretty funny and clever
Good luck, they have a herculean task ahead of them. Has any show ever tried to introduce that many new characters at the midpoint of a series??
Are you in the right thread, bruh?

Cersei: "Theon Greyjoy?! Are you mad?
Tywin: "I can have Lord Bolton ship down a sample, if you'd like"
Tywin: "I can have Lord Bolton ship down a sample, if you'd like"
I'm proud that there was no thread whining about the show leaving out the Gendel stuff in the cave.
Loras is gay?? I had no idea, the showrunners have been playing this so subtly. /sarcasm
Enjoyed the Jaime/Brienne bits. The Jon/Ygritte bits were more cringeworthy than the books. They're really pushing the Tyrell's in the show. I quite enjoyed Cersei pushing the extravagant wedding in the book.
EDIT: I still don't see the benefit of cutting Willas in the show. It's not like they even had to cast him.

ALL
Seems obvious Gregor isn't dead, but I kind of hope Sandor's fate is never spoken of again, because I like the theory that he's alive and a monk, but I'd like for him to stay there.
Lord of Light, shine your light upon this pastry!
?
Why add another character to confuse the non book audience when Loras serves the purpose perfectly well?
It's a much different scenario for Sansa to be promised into a political marriage with a cripple than letting her be all doe-eyed over Loras, while the audience snickers at the beard she might become. The show runners had no qualms about introducing this Olyvar fellow.

Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that Tywin knows very well who the father of Cersei's children is, and just ignores it because it would destroy his family.
Just realized something in regards to Cersei/Loras and how they might be adapting it.
I suspect they may have Cersei plant the Kingsguard seed to Loras, so that she has him do the same thing Jaime once did. It'd be a win-win situation, as in the show Loras' sexuality is hardly a well-kept secret among the upper classes.

I think what the show has done works fine, but I wish they hadn't put in that line about Loras being heir to Highgarden. That just needlessly cuts out two characters who could have easily still existed but been off screen and not effecting things for the moment.
It is slightly different but asos
the end result is pretty much the same. She's excited about the prospect of marrying and leaving KL (and the show just changes it into Loras, which just heightens her excitement), and this fantasy is swiftly ruined by her being forced to marry Tyrion, which then pushes her into following LF's plans.
Sansa's arc is probably one of the few changes from book -> show that has made me unhappy asos
Finding out LF was behind it all just came out of nowhere and completely shocked me! I wish they were able to keep that, but I suppose it would mean having to reintroduce Dontos. Non-book readers seem to be enjoying the whole LF/Varys/Sansa/Olenna/Margaery stuff anyways.

Him being off screen would make it even harder for people to recall him. People know and remember Loras, and therefore it's easier to have him replace the role.
If there is no point to them existing on the show, then why even have them exist off screen?
They have to condense characters. There's only so much screen-time real estate, and there's a limit to how much the audience can remember.

That makes a whole lot of sense actually....
or alternatively...
ASOS spoiler
Olenna tells Loras to join to protect his sister, after Sansa is married off to Tyrion, and they fell they are n danger. Then it's almost the same as in the book, with Loras' father recognizing the danger early and telling him to join.
Series
If Garlan or Willas need to exist for anything later, they can just be introduced as younger brothers. They can make Willas the second son so he becomes heir when Loras goes kingsguard.
