Game of Thrones TV Thread **HBO-Purists ONLY**

It certainly seems out of Stark character, but why did she ask for Brienne's sword? Is she going to give him a shave since he's gotten all scruffy? Is next episode just going to start with her being like "ha, jk, here's your sword back, whatever I intended to do was totally out of character for a Stark. Sorry for going off script there writers, let's just pretend the whole "Brienne, your sword!" thing never happened."?

I'm not prepared to say it just isn't meh writing. Just like how the show set it up going "wwooooooooo lookit these burnt boys they could be bran n rickon omgomg" in a tv-like cheese way, cat and the sword could just be the same thing

Besides, if Cat did maim him, it goes against the character that the writers established for her, and they are bad and should feel bad. She is level-headed and does what's best for her children, full stop.

Seriously, her even asking for the sword is bad writing. When she learned the Theon took over Winterfell and her two kids and kill Roderick, she still wanted to talk to him. Her asking for the sword was just TV being TV, looking for a climax wherever possible.

ya, I'm cool with this view of it. They do seem to have become more willing to utilize cheap TV tricks this season. I'm really not sure why though, as this show just doesn't need that stuff.

Oh come on, [I'm potentially messing up your experience, and because I can't see how this could be so, I'm going to abject to you calling me out on it. Oh, and by the way, here's a little tid-bit that's more spoilery than the last.]

Hope you don't mind the paraphrasing. Really though man, what compels you to post what you posted in this thread instead of the other? We honestly and truly do not want you to guide our experience. We don't want to know when your favorite part is coming up. We just want to watch the show, and discuss the show.

Not to encourage you to keep posting in this thread, but if you had waited until after the cliff hanger was resolved and said "man, it was cool following the thread as that arc went on, because I really enjoyed it in the book", I'd be much more OK with it. Still this is a delicate matter, and you have shown a completely lack of finesse-- so, yeah, maybe just post in the other thread?
