Rob was fine in both the books and in the show.

He was the same as Ned though in that he couldn't see the big picture.

In the show he wins every battle he's in. That's his redeeming quality. None of the Stark people have personalities

I think Ned, Kat and Arya are all likable.

Robb is a brooding bitch like Jon Snow, but at least Jon Snow has a reason

Arya's likeable. Ned was too dumb to like. Kat also had little to no personality.

Having to start a war because your dad was beheaded isn't reason to brood?

Im halfway thru season one. Ned is fine and he's still acting like a jerk off.

Kat had fire and passion.

I know the spin offs are supposed to be not anything from the books or told in the books, but Id watch the fuckin shit out of a Robert's Rebellion show

Go listen to "Hardcore Game of Thrones" it is an 18 hour podcast series that gives you to full play by play of Robert's Rebellion. It is an homage to Hardcore History, but it did its homework.

IIRC Robb is hardly discussed in the books. I don't think he's even a POV character.

I didn't like Kat, she treated Snow like dogshit and she was a dumb bitch who gave away Jamie Lannister for nothing.

Ned, Arya, and Snow all likable.

Bran, Robb are meh.

Sansa and Rickon should have been fed to Ramsey's hounds.

Agree on Kat treatment of Snow. Way over the line. Its not like he cheated on her

Go cheat on your wife/gf and knock up your side chick. Then tell your wife that kid is not only going to be part of your life, he's going to live with you and be raised with your children. Then on top of everything, Ned doesn't even ever explain it. When Kat asks him he basically says STFU and never ask me again. She was a bitch but I got it.

So I know it's been noticeable all season and last, but time really doesn't matter anymore.

Take out the edit and I'd agree. Jorah saw the way Dany was looking at Jon... he's going to sacrifice himself to save him for his beloved queen.

Their plan is so dumb though. Fly a dragon up there. Burn up a squad of zombies and grab a couple survivors. Bring em back. No fuss, no muss.

I'm slightly pissed this show doesn't have the decency to contrive a reason why they CAN'T fly the dragons up there.

I mean the show has dragons, an army of dead people and the main character rose from the dead. I don't see how people can worry about time.

Not really worried about it, but it does take you out of the narrative somewhat.

Things felt rushed. Would've enjoyed seeing more of Tyrion and Brinn and Jaime.

The way she has been giving Jon the fuck me eyes for the last three episodes how could he miss it. Don't want to lose Jorah just yet, the hound should be the only one from the other group to make it back.

Gotta love the Magnificent 7 - Jon, Thoros, Bedric, The Hound, Tormund, Gendry, Jorah.

I think only Jon, Hound, and Gendry make it back

and as i pointed out before, it's inconsistent with how they were treating traveling throughout the show. the first season taught us it takes a month to ride from king's landing to winterfell, for example.

but you certainly can't say they're wasting any time anymore. it really is down to the nitty gritty now.

fermented crab, anyone?

The time is fucked up, no more weeks on the road.. Now it's across the realm in a day. Anyone else think that dragons eye looked fucked up when Snow was petting him like a dog. I expected Snow to say "he's sick, he's been poisoned "
