Ombrackyou just have to consider the characters aren't as one-dimensional as you seem to believe.

That's definitely a stretch. Pretty sure even the show runners admitted they screwed up with the rape scene. In the last season Jamie sees the foul side of Cersei and just leaves like Tyrion did. The rape scene was so out of character and stupid I think they removed it from the blu-ray releases.

OmbrackYou can set a character in a given frame, and then make them evolve because of the things they have been through. I wasnt too surprised that Sansa became who she is now, because honestly who would stay the same after enduring so much shit.
Sansa had to deal with so much unfair events throughout the show, it's pretty fair for her to "give back" at some point. She's not the naive little maiden that she used to be, she toughen up, and seeks revenge, not justice.

Maybe with Sansa. Still doesn't apply for Jamie raping his sister, Littlefinger, Varys and Tyrion being idiots.

BarryChuckleJust to elaborate, a "fair trial" has never been part fo the books or show. There is no established legal system of "fair trials" in Westeros. . A (rigged) trial was afforded to Tyrion as a gesture due to his status, and as a way for Tywin to keep his hands clean from the perceived grievous sin of kinslaying.

Lords have the right to "pit and gallows" ie: can legally put anyone of lower feudal status within their lands to death, this has been established numerous times in the books, and was established in season one with Ned "passsing sentence" on a deserter. No trial.

There was no trial because the dude literally confessed to being a deserter of the Nights Watch. If somebody is accused of something, and they deny it, there tends to be some kind of due process. Especially in a place like Winterfell.

SetsulDo you mean the name sounds better or the reference cooler which has been used since the 700 series with minor updates and is still used on the 1060 sounds better than itself?

Yes

K1Stannis sacrificing Shireen is almost definitely going to happen in the books given that GRR told Beinoff and Weiss certain major plot beats

This is definitely not true at all. George isn't even on the last book, he is still finishing the 2nd last one with hundreds of ideas, plot points, characters and backstories to come up with. Any writer will tell you that a story you are writing never ends in the way you thought it would and an idea that seemed good at first will be gone the next day. I can assure you that Stannis will not burn shrireen in the books. GRRM has been throwing them random ideas whenever he can, most of which will never come to light. If Stannis does burn Shireen in the books, it will be written in character, although I don't think that's possible.

MenachemI've never read the books, and I don't think they should play too deeply into discussions about the show. Not saying you can't prefer the books over the show, but it seems like every discussion I come across devolves into complaining about how different the two are. This thread is about the TV series, so I'd like to discuss that instead.

This is true but you need to keep in mind that I am actually following the characters from the show here, perhaps with just a little more insight. You need to keep in mind that the first season followed the book almost page for page. The only differences were the ages of some of the characters. The characters in the show had been set up in the first few seasons from the books. So when you ask why Sansa (maybe not Arya) would be obsessed with a fair trial it goes back to the very first season where Ned beheads the deserter of the Nights Watch and teaches his children the importance of Stark tradition and honour, and how to them it is absolute.

Many of the Lords of the North are still skeptical about the magic and white walkers and even if they weren't, they would be appalled to see the Lady of Winterfell slit a mans throat right in front of them in the room that they are standing in. That's not how executions are done here, executing somebody in the grand hall is something that the Mad King would do. My problem is not that they are ruining the book characters like Euron, I can understand that. My problem with the show is they are ruining the characters that were set up in the show over 8 years ago.

If your CPU ever breaks I've got a very alpha looking Pentium 4 for you.

What's the point of spending all that money on an expensive gaming PC if it doesn't look sexy?

The GTX 980 and the 1060 preform pretty similarly in game and there is a very small difference in FPS. While the GTX 980 does use more power, it also looks better, sounds better and is like $30-$40 cheaper, easily the alpha graphics card.

I would recommend buying the one the guy posted above though that is a very good deal,

I got a 1060 2nd hand and it broke after a week. Its most likely because it was 2nd hand but I decided to just get a GTX 980. It's cheaper than the 1060 and not quite as good but it definitely makes your computer look a look more sexy if you care about that kind of thing. Honestly the Zotac 1060 is a very soylent looking card. The GTX 980 on the other hand is the definition of Alpha

It's not as fast but I actually like it better than the 1060 Also with the GTX 980 you can get for $30+ cheaper as well however if you aren't one to care about how your PC looks and want the best performance then the 1060 is definitely faster.

jetzzzzz>stannis burns his own daughter alive

Honestly, this one doesn't seem too out of character, he had 2 options

1. Don't burn her, most of his troops will desert, starve or freeze; ruining any chance he has of a successful battle, not to mention that there's a good chance Shireen would die in this scenario.

2. Burn her, lose his wife and a fraction of his troops but save many more people.

Stannis was always a cold pragmatist, no matter how much he loved Shireen he knew that the only way to get his army out of the blizzard was to make a sacrifice to the Red God.

This makes no sense. Most of his troops desert after seeing their leader literally burn his own daughter alive anyway. After Ramsay and his "20 good men" somehow managed to destroy their entire supply line (what a joke that was)

How could that possibly be the only 2 options he had. Stannis was known to be possibly the greatest military leader on the planet. He could have simply retreated to the wall, his daughter and wife were even offered to stay and return at any point. Stannis was cold yet honorable, he would never burn his daughter alive like that. He knew he was outnumbered and had little chance of victory.

Stannis would have sent his daughter and wife away, fought and died in battle. That is how his character has been written since 1996. He is cold and stubborn but not a fucking psycho who would burn his own daughter alive at the stake. He always had a sense of honour and kinslaying in Game of Thrones is well known to be incredibly dishonorable.

I dunno how people can defend this, even if you haven't read the books. It was done for a cheap shock, something the show feels the needs to keep doing.

Menachem and our "heroes" know it--hence their total reliance on bran's sight to sentence littlefinger.

The Starks are obsessed with fair trials and their code of honour. If Littlefinger was accused, he would ask for evidence and a fair trial which would have to be given (or a trial by combat). Winterfell is the last place in the country that would suddenly lose its legal system.
Executing Littlefinger without a trial based on evidence that consisted of "bran had Magic visions" would have made Sansa look like a complete tyrant to all the nobles who were present and the people would have been shocked, especially considering he saved them all with his army and was one of the most powerful people in the country. .

Starkieto be fair their job got much harder when they no longer had books for reference. its still a good series just not quite as good was it was at the start

This is true, the reason the first seasons were so good was because of George. My problem is that whoever is currently writing the show doesn't seem to know anything about the characters.

Jamie, who is trying to be a noble knight and atone for his past deeds literally rapes cersei in the show. Tyrion goes from an intelligent politician to a useless idiot, Arya somehow 1v1s Brienne , Varys does literally nothing now, Stannis burns his own daughter alive ect.

I think the show is well made but has been ruined by several baffling decisions from the writers.

lethi dont remember anything thats happened

One of the funniest moments in television history. Littlefinger pleads not guilty, then gets executed without any evidence or any type of trial whatsoever. He asks for a chance to defend himself against completely fabricated evidence, and then gets executed on the spot. Just like Ned taught them.

At first, GRRM was saying "NO" to every hollywood producer because he didn't want his books and characters he loved so dearly and had worked on for so many years to be swallowed by hollywood with mindless action. He didn't want the stupid writing that makes no sense and exists solely to advance the plot without any sense or purpose. He didn't want his characters turned into two-dimensional vehicles that have no identity or depth and are only there to advanced the plot.

So he finally turns to Television, and meets a couple of dudes who promised they would stay true to his imagine and he really believed them. Imagine George grinning with pure joy as he watches season 1 of the show. Where it follows the book almost perfectly, with the actors HE wanted, with the stories and dialogue that he wrote.
Truly watching his world come to life.

I'm sorry George, i'm so so sorry.
