Re: Game of Thrones - Season 4: Who Is Jon Snow?
So the big question I have coming out of this episode is around the baby taken to the White Walker King. What are we to expect of that baby? Will it stay that same size now that it's been turned? Is that just the whitewalker pre-basting ritual for the feast?
Overall, I'm a little disappointed with this episode as I wanted to see dragons roast a city."The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984

Re: Game of Thrones - Season 4: Who Is Jon Snow?
I'm really enjoying some of the changes from the book, especially north of the wall.
I suppose I'm starting to feel a bit like the show is not going to do much to show an impact from the rape of Cersei, beyond her starting to flat out hate Jaime, but I suppose it could be worse. I'm still in the camp of thinking that what we see is still fairly consistent with what we know about the characters, especially Jaime.
Edited to Add: By the way, I think we might be able to say that the show has officially passed the books in one storyline already, with the last scene. I think it was already pretty heavily implied that the Others were actually doing something with the children that were offered by Craster, but to finally get a glimpse of it (especially with so much yet to be addressed/resolved north of the wall in the books) was pretty cool.Last edited by ExileOnDaytonStreet; 04-28-2014, 11:05 AM.If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

Re: Game of Thrones - Season 4: Who Is Jon Snow?
Did he say that he was 13 in the show? I know he's young still, but it seems like they aged up many of the characters a few years.Originally posted by bronconick View Post"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

Re: Game of Thrones - Season 4: Who Is Jon Snow?
He's certainly older than in the books (he's what... 7 in the books? Maybe 9 by the time we get to the end of ADWD?).Originally posted by St. Clown View Post
When you think about some of the issues faced by the younger characters in the books (especially Dany), they really had no choice but to make them older in the show.If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

Fascinating that Brienne has served a Baratheon, a Stark and now a Lannister.

Re: Game of Thrones - Season 4: Who Is Jon Snow?
There's a worry going around the internet now that HBO released a book spoiler into the TV show pertaining to the Whitewalkers, but only with certainty if you had gone to the show's official website prior to someone changing the text. I have a feeling only the most careful or dedicated of GRR Martin's fans would have caught it, but someone did since it's the internet."The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

Re: Game of Thrones - Season 4: Who Is Jon Snow?
I think it's more of a big deal because it's now the first official thing where we've sort of passed the books up.Originally posted by St. Clown View Post
FWIW, I don't know that's really a spoiler as much as a confirmation of something that was briefly but quite heavily implied by the books. It's not like we should have been assuming that the Others/White Walkers were going to be a LOST-esque dangling thread that gets forgotten about.If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

Re: Game of Thrones - Season 4: Who Is Jon Snow?
You probably have people appearing older in the series than in the books because it would be incredibly distasteful to American audiences to see Margaery seduce a 9-year old boy or a 14-year old Daenerys giving birth.Comment
