I can't come into this thread anymore. I click spoilers because I'm all caught up on episodes and something is spoiled for me further on in the books. Oh well. I like this show and I just started the 3rd book. The books are good but can become a chore to get through in certain sections.
Goodbye threadreaders! |

To be honest I have already spoiled shitloads of stuff for the books and therefore potentially the TV series for myself, but oh well. Hasn't meant I've enjoyed the series any less.

Reading it and seeing the two showrunners deal with the ridiculous amount of story in the books is another. So far they've done a fantastic job putting everything on the screen.

He trusted that the Karstarks would be honorable and stay because their leader was a traitor.

Instead, he did what he knew was right. Karstark had betrayed his trust with an emotional decision to murder two Lannister boys against the King's will. I can't really fault Rob at all for his decision. Would Karstark truly have respected Rob if he gave him a slap on the wrist? You could see the disrespect brewing immediately when he was brought in to face Rob. He acted like he knew exactly what was coming; a slap on the wrist from the pathetic king who wouldn't give him what he wanted. This is slightly similar to the Umber situation, except that Umber had the good sense to know when he was put in his place and to pay respect when it was due. Karstark had a chance to put his faith in the King and trust that when the time came, he would have his revenge where it mattered; on the battlefield. Instead, he just gave the Lannisters the upper hand by getting himself beheaded and Rob losing his army and lords. Karstark did exactly the opposite of what he intended, by being a hotheaded idiot. |

Losing half your army isn't exactly a 'short term consequence'.

Feel like Tywin Lannister and Olenna Tyrell might be the only smart characters on the show. Everyone else seems to do dumb stuff all the time while thinking they are smart/honourable.

Yeah, I guess. A lot of it is wasted on being a sarcastic jokester, though.

FYI, there's no fucking with Littlefinger. That mutherfucker is vicious and ruthless. Wanna feel bad for Theon, but then I remeber how much of a shit he was leading up to this season.
Love to see the story unfolding leading to this sesason's climatic event. King Robb has it coming to him. |

I have loved every scene in this show where Varys and Littlefinger have had occasion to be alone and converse.

So wait, is that guy really a Karstark or did he lie about his identity/place they were as well? Anyone who has read the books understands why I ask this.

Yes, but was it just about him promising not to hurt Theon or everything?
