i know Kit Harrington is pretty bad, but I guess im just used to it by now.Risk: Lux Delux – While there are an almost endless amount of Risk variation board games out there, sometimes a Risk game player just wants more, and this is where Lux Delux comes in. I am also noticing that the acting is not nearly as good as it has been in past seasons, the girl who plays Talisa, Shae and espicially Loras stand out to me as being particularly awful. I understand things need to be changed for adaptation, but what I don't understand is including things that have no place in the book or drastically change who the character is. I am often really bothered by the senseless changes from book to show. Dinklage was either overacting to try and save, or doesn't do nearly a good enough job playing the "dwarf in love" role. Left a sour taste in my mouth - The actress who plays Shae is terrible. WTF is wrong with these writers? What goes through their heads? Why include this? We already know Joffrey is a deviant, but this is just way way to much. Margery agreeing to kill something/someone while Joffrey watches. Now his hand getting cut off matters so much less. Even if they had included a line from Brienne before the fight "your hands are chained together and you have been imprisoned for _ you are a shell of your former self" it would have made it clear just how good Jamie is. Jamie gives Brienne a run for her money and leaves her in awe of how good he is. Jamie is the best swordsman in Westeros and in the show we have seen him essentially draw with Ned Stark and get his ass kicked by Brienne. Jamie & Brienne fight: poorly choreographed filmed and adapted from the book. Talisa/Cat interactions: pointless and really poorly acted. It's like they want to take ownership for the series or something. Why? Just why? I'll never understand why the producers of this show change so many things that don't need to be changed. I thought the Night's Watch scenes and Orell/Mance/Jon was fine (-) - Cat's monologue. We haven't gotten any real blowback from the Frey's post wedding. I like how they are keeping Bolton a presence, and thought the Karstark comments were right on - and much needed. Weird how Rickon just ran off an summer followed him, though. Obviously has to be different from the books for timing reasons, but I thought it worked in context. The scene and introduction did the book justice - Jojen and Meera was well handled. Queen of Thorns was really good, both funny and cunning. Didn't mind the whole getting betrayed by a random traveler, it shows that even the "white" characters need to go "black" in Westeros. Jamie had me in stitches with the "throne made of cocks and you'd never get him off" line. Jamie and Brienne interactions are absolutely hilarious. What was that? Anguy was good, and the scene at the inn makes sense because there's no Harwin in that group. + - Arya and BWB scenes, with the exception of Thyros of Myr baring steel against a 10 year old girl. Gave it a 6.5 - better than last week's but still needs improvement and its still frustrating how certain things are changed for absolutely no reason.
