GRRM specifically asked them to change Vargo Hoat into Locke.
What sort of reasoning was behind this? I'm genuinely curious.

So, which are the top five storylines are people looking forward to the most this season?
For me it is,
1. Jon Snow: Because I am hoping for a return to form.
2. Jaime: Because the metamorphosis of the lion has been completely compelling.
3. Tyrion: Because he never gets a break.
4. Arya/Hound: Because it will be the best buddy cop film ever.
5. Bran: Because I honestly have no idea how far the will go with it this season.

Yeah, Dany's has a lot of potential this season if they keep it tight. But I fear a season 2 situation where they lose their way for most of the season, and then rip out her most powerful moments.Jon Snow: I'm looking forward to the burden of leadership. Especially with what seems like a very risky mission, heading up to Crasters.
Bran: Same, though Winter is Comingdotnet saidthey've got an actress for Leaf
Stannis: Judging from the trailer, it looks like they're going to make him a bit more villainous, thoughI'm hoping that's the point where he ditches the outright fanaticism and is more in line with his book character
Dany: This plot in the books was interesting, but stretched too thin. The show should improve it.
There was a Lord Locke at Winterfell in ADWD.
Yeah, the scenes between Tyrion and Jaime have me very interested. The actors have great chemistry, but haven't had a real chance to play with it. Also nice to see someone else that actually loves and cares for Tyrion..
1. Stannis: Because it needs the most redemption, and also because they seem to have added quite a bit of new material with him going to Braavos. And Mark Gattiss.
2. Tyrion: Because ELIA MARTELL.
3. Jon: Because of a certain red head.
4. Theon: Because it has the potential to be one of the most powerful storylines of the show.
5. Jaime: Because they've added a whole lot more material of him and Tyrion together.
Well that was heartbreaking.
Please tell me the next episode has a happy ending.
I still hate it. Especially considering the first two seasons ended on the supernatural, and they had the perfect supernatural scene they could have ended season 3 on but didn't.Actually yeah it does. A very happy ending. I hated the ending to Mhysa until I saw it again on bluray. Its damn uplifting and cinematic. I guess at the time of it airing I was hoping for another epic white walker moment or something of that nature, but the ending to episode 10 was needed after the RW episode ending. We the audience needed that moment. That victory and the hope expressed in the scene.
Haha I remember I was livid. I probably would still be but with season 4 about to start Im much more inclined to forgive the writers for making me wait for LS.I still hate it. Especially considering the first two seasons ended on the supernatural, and they had the perfect scene they could have ended season 3 on but didn't.
With season 4 on the horizon, I am inclined to forgive most, but not that. People would have lost their crap. Everything they were feeling, everything wanted summed up. Would have been perfect.
GRRM specifically asked them to change Vargo Hoat into Locke. The show writers were going to have Vargo Hoat, who is a foreigner Sellsword with a massive lisp be changed into a Northman in service to the Boltons, with no real elements of Vargo intact beyond the role as the one who cripples Jaime, so GRRM asked them to just go ahead and make him a new character instead of trying to make him something he wasn't

I like this reasoning but don't understand why writers would try to change this, just makes no sense as to why. Do we know why Talisa was created instead of Westerling being used?.
It is funny because all anyone could talk about going into the adaptation of ASOS was the Red Wedding. Before season 2 even aired, the Red Wedding was the big focus of the fanbase. And while it is an incredibly powerful moment, as far as I am concerned, the most insane, emotional and powerful material in the book is still to come.I dont disagree. Gah can you believe how much this season is going to blow people's minds? All the great stuff at the end of SOS and then you add in LS. Holy hell, it sets the bar astronomically high.

As a straight male, it is hard for me to not like Talisa. But I really think they fumbled their relationship in season 2. I understand that idea behind her, and having her [BLACKOUT]die in the Red Wedding[/BLACKOUT] worked. But the season 2 writing could have been so much better.Im not sure why they created Talissa, but I prefer her to the book character (Jeyne?). Plus I feel a battlefield nurse works better with what the writers were trying to do. Which was give Robb a lot more screen time. Talissa is also a stronger character imo.
To avoid the honeypot storyline and so they could [BLACKOUT]kill her[/BLACKOUT].I like this reasoning but don't understand why writers would try to change this, just makes no sense as to why. Do we know why Talisa was created instead of Westerling being used?
1. Jon Snow: I hope they really play up just how intelligent and badass he is.
2. Jaime: His scenes in the latter half of book 3 and this season are some the whole series has.
3. Tyrion: I'm more so excited about the characters surrounding his story than his story altogether.
4. Arya/Hound: I hope they redeem this story because for me it has not been what it was in the books.
5. Bran: Coldhands, nuff said.
6. Sansa: is one character I am dying to see how they will handle with what becomes of her story.
7. Victarion: Please just show up and be wearing your badass helm.
