Well, they were in Harrenhal with Roose in the books. Maybe make a point of Roose plotting with at least one of them.

But yeah, they should have had those little weasel shits in the show.

I think not building up the Freys will make it more of a surprise

Don't think they were the prisoners, but they came in with Roose himself. I remember one of the Freys was talking with Arya and that he was sad that he wouldn't get to marry a princess. Plus I think Arya walked in on the Freys and Boltons openly plotting.

My dad is a fricker...

he just predicted Ygritte dying ("They have a doomed relationship")

and said that Arya and the Hound will have a Brienne and Jaime-esque relationship

He hopes he's wrong about Ygritte bc he likes her, but he has no expectations for her to live. He loves the Wildlings.

Says his favorite part about the show is that bad things do happen to good people

I'd like to think of my dad as being a mix of Ned and Tywin, oddly enough. Wants us to succeed and carry on the family name but is a honorable man--within reason--at the same time .

Watching the episode and as I'm staring at the queen of the norths perfect arse it hits me...

She will be with robb at the wedding and will either lannister honeypott or be taken captive and be seen once again in the roll of fake arya although will be given to Ramsay as queen regent to winterfell.

Was the scene with Bronn and Tyrion in the books (discussing Sansa)? I thought that was a little unnecessary and boring. As was the 3+ minute march in Yunkai. A minute and a half of that, and a minute of Bronn and Tyrion would have sufficed. That would have been almost 5 extra minutes of cool stuff.

Now that she has lied about being pregnant, she HAS to be the Lannister Honeypot. No?

If she was telling the truth, then frick GRRM for that tremendous departure in the story, and for spoiling the books.

If she was lying, then obviously she would be doing that to get at Robb.

I was wondering if the book ever outright said she was pregnant and thought that it didn't.

I thought her parents actually had something to do with the Red Wedding but she was away but was supposed to be there due to the Frey's being pissed she wasn't there to be killed too.

Never thought about that, but I see no reason that Jon would send out forces to go get her back. Arya, it makes sense, but not for someone Jon has ever met.

I posted a portion of a Tyrion chapter a couple weeks ago that basically confirmed that the Westerling family was involved. Tywin tells Tyrion that Robb wed Jeyne Westerlong, and Tyrion is flabbergasted that a liege family of the Lannisters married Robb Stark, and Tywin says something along the lines of, "Sometimes the bigger fool is the one who thinks his foe a fool". Meaning, Westerling is no fool Tyrion, wink wink.

Yeah, which is why her lie in the show basically confirms tha Lannister Honeypot theory for bookj readers. Until now, there was argument that Jeyne Westerling knew nothing while her family set this up. Her lying about being pregnant confirms her complicity.

But did Talisa truly fall in love with him like Jeyne did?

Apparently not if she is going to lie to him about being pregnant. That is my point. It is a big departure from the book, and makes me wonder about things to come.
