Finally finished the last couple of episodes of Thrones. Must say they were much better than the first 2. I normally bitch about differences between the show and book but this time I thought it was pretty good. A little more invested in Theon and seeing what happens between episode 3 and 4. Still in the end what does it really matter?
Also finally seeing more of Varys, he was a more important character for the first 3 books and has been largley ignored thus far. A little more explanation of Margaery and her intentions and skill as a manipulator is also welcome. I never felt the books were particularly well written in the first place and still believe and maintain that Martin has had a hand in fixing things here and there. The changes made seem to be more catered to the visual in order to explain certain things and they finally got it right in these episodes I think. Here's hoping they continue to put some actual thought into things. Noticed too that Dinklage gets top billing in the credits. Go Midgets Go!!!
All men must die.
