I'm pretty sure he just dropped off Sansa at Winterfell, told her to be good, and got the fuck out of there. But I forget a lot of the show changes from season 5 so I may be wrong.

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
That's basically my memory as well. But I couldn't remember if he'd given us a hint about where he was headed or not. Did he imply (or say) that he was going to find Dany?cutuphalfdead wrote:I'm pretty sure he just dropped off Sansa at Winterfell, told her to be good, and got the fuck out of there.

Slinking out of Winterfell, pretty sure he was on his way to answer a summons from Cersei. I don't remember 100% of what Cersei knows, though--I'm sure she doesn't know about his involvement in Ramsay and Sansa's marriage, she doesn't know about his involvement in Joffrey's death, but she might have known that he's the new protector of the Vale. Maybe.durdencommatyler wrote:Someone remind me where we left Littlefinger.

He left winterfell for kings landing after cersei summoned him. Once there, he told cersei about Sansa's marriage to Ramsey, and she instructed him to take the Knights of the Vale to the north and defeat whomever was left standing between Stannis and the Boltons. She also requested Sansa's head. In return, he would be named the warden of the North. He then met with Lady Olenna on his way out of town, and told her about Cersei's dalliances with Lancel, leading to her imprisonment.durdencommatyler wrote:Someone remind me where we left Littlefinger.

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
I was having a hard time keeping track of the differing storylines, so I rewatched season 5 in the week before the season 6 premiere as a refresher. Otherwise, I likely wouldn't have remembered a lot of that.cutuphalfdead wrote:When the show and book split, I do my best to just remember what happened in the books.Simple Torture wrote:I somehow forgot half of this.

Outside of the Hardhome episode it was about as good as the books that inspired it (FoC and ADWD).cutuphalfdead wrote:I thought about doing that but then remembered season 5 sucked.Zantac Junkie wrote:I was having a hard time keeping track of the differing storylines, so I rewatched season 5 in the week before the season 6 premiere as a refresher.

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
I felt that way the first time I read them. When I re-read the series, I read the combined version of those two, and it improved them exponentially. That said, the story is almost unfilmable as written, so I understand the need to streamline. I just don't always agree with the execution.Monkey_Driven wrote:ADWD was good, not great.

The chapters at the end of ADWD, picking up where the two books meet chronologically, are among the best in the series.

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
The Cersei chapters in AFFC were the ones I enjoyed the least, and having them more spread out among the chapters of both books made them a lot better.Monkey_Driven wrote:I plan to read the combined versions when I get there in my re-read.Zantac Junkie wrote:I felt that way the first time I read them.
