As somebody who didn't read the books, so has had my whole Game of Thrones world painted for me (rather than using my own imagination), I'm interested to know how many of the book readers pictured Tyrion to look like Verne Troyer?
Just caught up on the Mountain v Viper episode. The scene that went far and above for me was the one involving Sansa coming down the stairs towards the end says something to the effect 'it's time to go'.
Interested in what the other book readers thought of that. I'm shocked.
TV people change stuff to suit their needs....these days I just watch knowing I know the general background but I'm no longer surprised at any changes from the books.
I actually thought that was the poorest episode 9 of all the four seasons and am now expecting the best episode 10 of all series next week :)
When I read the books I actually pictured Tyrion as the guy who played Gimli in LOTR (much uglier). In the TV series there's no need to cringe for the whores, or Sansa, etc, he's not grotesque at all.
The battle last night was good, it's been a long time since I've read the books so I can't remember major differences. I thought it was pretty cool when Jon unleashed Longclaw, and it kind of showed that Alisser Thorne wasn't BAD, he was just wrong about a lot of things. And Slynt, what a joke of a man, I hate that pr*ck.
I was a bit confused about what happened at the end too, was Jon just going out unarmed to arrange for the burning of the bodies? It seemed like a massive cliffhanger though so I might have missed some of the significance.

[spoiler]didn't he say he was going out to find and kill Mance? [/spoiler] sound on my tv is **** so I may have misheard it too.

yep, he united them so he is hoping by killing him it will divide them.

Yah. Or meet Mance.
I don't know why he went out unarmed though. He gave the wolf's head sword back because he promised Mormont he wouldn't lose it again. But surely take another sword.

And poor Grenn and Pyp. Obvious battle fodder.
[Book Spoiler] [spoiler]I believe he goes to treat with Mance and combine forces against the Others...or did I dream it? [/spoiler]
