I don't remember that it was common knowledge at this time in the story that Littlefinger DID love Catelyn Stark! Iirc, you're kept in suspense for a while about whether he loved Catelyn or her sister, in their youths, and he claims at one point to have slept w both of them but you immediately disbelieve that of Catelyn so that just leaves Lysa...it's not early as clear as the show has made it.

thats actually not unlikely - hbo execs are known for strongly 'encouraging' this kind of content - i wouldnt have thought it necessary with this source material, but there you go

I think you're misremembering - we knew from the start that he dueled Brandon Stark for Catelyn's hand, a fight he had no way of winning... that seems to make it clear who he really loved.

Yeah i'm pretty sure Catelyn goes into it in some detail

Damn. One thing I'm realizing as I watch/re-read these is that elements that were suspenseful/mysterious stuck with me far more than straightfoward ones. My gut feeling about how long certain things were in flux or were "unknowns" is totally off.
― Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Wednesday, 1 June 2011 19:51 (thirteen years ago) link
anyone think episode 6 was by far the worst so far? there were so, so many moments where i sat there saying to myself, "this is what's gonna happen next" (for instance: an arrow's gonna go through that guy any minute"), and then exactly that would happen. extended even to dialogue.
― contenderizer, Wednesday, 1 June 2011 21:07 (thirteen years ago) link
[brit interloper content]: lol there's a guy called Jon Snow in this
The cast in this is great cos it provides the biggest game of "Wait, That's The Guy From" imaginable, like bearded Roger Allam and the handsome midget who dated Liz Lemon and the Arsenal fan with learning difficulties who gets killed halfway through Eastern Promises and Jerome fuckin Flynn
I like that since the first two minutes of the first episode, the only notable supernatural thing that's happened has been somebody picking up a hot egg without noticeable injury

Always raises a smirk. Next season they will hopefully introduce a powerful rival house lord named Huw Edwards.

Looking at a map of Westeros in my book's frontispiece, I'm vastly amused that there's a castle named Riverrun. Is it past Eve and Adam's?

one of the lads in this was in hollyoaks i think...good career move for him.

shitty cliffhanger imo. rest of the episode was good tho.

the bravosi's fight was spot on; the show catches the tenor of the book v.well I think

ah cool okay, two more eps, i had it in my mind that it was 8 eps this season.
― MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE LIVING HERE!! (Local Garda), Monday, 6 June 2011 17:41 (twelve years ago) link
having not read the book yet, this is the first episode where I felt like they were making huge plot jumps. where did these bravosi people come from? what was up with the guy losing his fingers and being cool with it? stuff felt super condensed.
when will they kill that breastfeeding brat?
― akm, Monday, 6 June 2011 18:14 (twelve years ago) link
like the way rob is stepping up to the plate.
― MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE LIVING HERE!! (Local Garda), Monday, 6 June 2011 18:24 (twelve years ago) link
i assumed the dude who lost his fingers is just supposed to be a bit of a lovable mental case. there's one in all these sort of shows/films. no doubt later on he'll behead someone and chuckle to himself. he's the gimli!
really hope he survived.
Unless they're being deliberately contrary, in pretty much all TV/film ever, if you leave a fight behind before seeing if the good guy dies, it means they didn't.
― Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Monday, 6 June 2011 18:57 (twelve years ago) link
