As you noted, the story line set in "Reek's" home islands has been dropped. Might watching Ramsey abuse his former "sister" push him over the edge into violent retaliation overcoming his conditioning? Leading to a Stark recovery of Winterfell? Just a thought.Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682438184679769936.post-88766470492680868292015-05-20T21:20:49.428-04:002015-05-20T21:20:49.428-04:00Thanks Joe.

It's been several years since I finished the book series and the divergent TV story line has confused me quite a bit.Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682438184679769936.post-18418515611609812912015-05-20T18:31:13.948-04:002015-05-20T18:31:13.948-04:00Bill,

I think Arya's story will progress per the books for the most part, at least this season. Tyrion never gets Grayscale (to my knowledge), but he does fall into the river when the stone men attack. The only one who gets the disease is Connington (now Jorah). And Margery does get imprisoned in the books -- but Cersei has hers coming! (In the books, her brother does not get arrested, however; instead, he gets severely wounded during a siege Cersei send him on). By the way, I expect Cersei's tale will follow the books pretty closely this season.Joseph Finleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11348233611003693635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682438184679769936.post-26360129735145059222015-05-20T09:33:05.996-04:002015-05-20T09:33:05.996-04:00That Sansa in Bolton clutches business bothers me ...That Sansa in Bolton clutches business bothers me too, Joe. I don't see the value of it.<br /><br />I also wonder where they're going with Arya. I found her story line one of the least interesting once she got to the weird cult house. They're spending a lot of time on it in the series; maybe because they like the character and actress. <br /><br />Didn't Tyrion get grayscale in the book, or am I remembering wrong?<br /><br />Isn't Cersei supposed to be in prison instead of the queen?<br /><br />They keep us watching though!Billnoreply@blogger.com
