The HotU in CoK was one of my favorite chapters I've read (currently reading AFFC). A lot of symbolism and prophecies put in that chapter, yet the show writers made the scene in season 2 so crappy in comparison because they are buddies with Jason Momoa and wanted to bring him back (D & D said that in some interview I saw).


I have to say this about the HotU, while they could've certainly done more with it (i.e. showing Rhaegar and etc) there's quite a bit there that would be tough to translate to screen with their budget and limitations IMO. That's just a tough chapter to deal with I think.

I do agree they've totally dropped the ball on Rhaegar. Between not even talking about Ned's fever dreams, the Tower of Joy, or any of that. At some point we're going to need a flashback or something because even if R+L=/=JS it's still a huge part of the SOIAF.

Yeah, I'm very concerned about the lack of Rhaegar mentions regardless of the R+L theory.

I think the omission of the ToJ was deliberate and intended to maintain whatever secret the High Lord Butterball has alluded to. Were there two babies? Is Arthur Dayne alive? Does Howland Reed wear white shrimper boots?
