(43,889 posts)There is a saying in Mexico that closely approximates the sentiment:
"A buén palo the arrimas"
Which says (sarcastically):
" 'tis a barren tree you've come to for shade"
Tyrion is my favorite character of the whole lot.

(56,828 posts)my favorite scene in the books was (spoilers): [font color=white] the trial by combat between The Red Viper and The Mountain. Plus, Joff going out like a baby was satisfying, too. [/font]
Very much looking forward to that. Most satisfying!

(56,828 posts)As I said, the Red Wedding gets all the publicity, but the last 1/3 of A Storm of Swords has a lot of hugely important things as well, and many of my favorite scenes of the entire series.
Not just the pieces I mention in post 6, but so many others:
"Only Cat"

Yay!

(12,272 posts)The casting of Rose Leslie as Ygritte showed real consideration and talent, though this is true for a majority of the roles in the show.
Spoiler: [font color= white] I hoped the writers would see fit to extend her existence and love affair with Jon, but it doesn't look like it. [/font]
In the same vein, I am pleased to see that casting came to their senses and replaced pretty boy Ed Skrein with Michiel Huisman as Daario Naharis, the Tyroshi captain serving Daenerys. And by serving, I mean believable chemistry because anything else just runs the risk of bad taste/gratuitous sex.
