Agreed about Jeyne/the girl from Volantis. If it wasn't Jeyne that scene doesn't make sense, but if it was her it doesn't make sense either. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
For some reason the thing that bothered me was Tywin showing up at Harrenhal and grabbing Arya for his cupbearer. It looks like they are going to skip the part where she was Weasel, and she was Roose Bolton's cupbearer, not Tywin's. Mostly I try not to mind the changes from the book but that one annoyed me.
Okay, what do you mean by #2? My memory of what happened in the book is absent and I can't remember what happened & why you wouldn't like how they presented that in the show.
I love Caitlyn too. She was always one of my favorites.
I love Margaery Tyrell! The actor playing her is awesome. Also, beautiful. Wow, she slays me with how pretty she is.
I actually thought Joff was going to make the one whore fuck the other one with his staff so it was a relief that she was only supposed to beat her. They could have done w/out that scene though - considering how they're having to rush to get the story told, I wish they wouldn't waste time on unnecessary stuff.
That said, the kid playing Joffrey continues to impress me with how good he is at playing evil to the core.
Iain Glen is indeed too hot! His Jorah is so awesome. Oddly, I didn't find him hot at all in Downton Abbey.
This book is so complex, the storytelling on the show is really sort of convoluted. Trying to condense it so much is not doing the show any favors. I pity anyone watching who hasn't read the books. I would be completely lost!
