Asha just annoys me in general. Her stupid smirk. But who knows....maybe they're trying to make you side with Theon for....future reasons.

Yeah Reeds are out of this season. It's now a matter of whether they'll be added in later in season 3.

I still don't understand the smoke demon thing. How was it born? How is it able to kill people? Can it be killed? I'm completely lost with how it's existence came about.

I hope the show explains it down the road.

I wouldnt count on it.
..All I know from the books is that it was made when Melisandre got Stannis into her bed, in the books the shadow is said to strongly resemble Stannis. Melisandre uses some sorcery and instead of a baby you get a shadowbaby that has a very low lifespan, but strength and the ability to barely exist at all. It isnt supposed to be a 3D shape, rather a literal shadow moving along the wall and floor.

I too hope they offer some explanation on the show, it was confusing in the books, with an entire page dedicated to describing it, in the TV show it was like a scene from "The Mummy" appearing in the middle of The Sopranos

Yeah I hear that. I really don't see any explanation coming...at least for sure not this season. If Melisandre is being left behind by Stannis and Co then I doubt there will be a chance for her to explain wtf happened.

Im going to attribute it how I did when I read...some F'd kind of sorcery. If you remember in the books, she must birth TWO shadows because Renly is killed before we even have the chapter with Davos and her sneaky down in the cave in which she bears the one that kills......that other guy. Can't remember his name. Not in the show though.

Yeah, it was the castellan from Storm's End, who was protecting one of Robert's bastards from Stannis. They decided to leave that whole part out.

I really don't get the logic with all of the stuff that they're leaving out. If they're just going to butcher the whole story will-nilly, I'd have rather seen it made as a series of major motion-pictures with a bigger budget and a better cast like the Harry Potter series was done.

I'm about to check out on this whole thing.

There is absolutely no way that this could be a movie. The story is way too big with too many characters. Anyone that I talk to who hasn't read the book has one complaint right now: too many characters! In the grand scheme of things so far the part you are referring to is pretty irrelevent. Sacrifices have to be made in an adaptation....especially one with five 700+ page books.

It could certainly have been made as a series of movies. If they're just cutting the thing to shreds anyway.

I have no idea why they feel the need to "sacrifice" anything in any case. Have you forgotten that the series isn't even complete, and at the rate Martin's going it won't be complete for another eight years or more?

At the rate they're going, there going to come up to the end of DoD with nothing following it and they'll just have to start making it up at that point.

But Harry Potter worked because it was centered on one character. He was in 80% of all scenes. You realize that a motion picture would be only 2.5 ish hours vs the 10 hrs that we're getting per season. Even more would be cut.

Anyways, just finished watching tonight's episode and WOW. I loved it.

I can't wait for a new 8 minute video of Tyrion slapping Joffrey.
