Game of Thrones season 3 - A Storm of Swords

 Spoiler

Have you read the books? She is basically important because of her lineage and not much else. Yea, atm I do agree she is very annoying and naive. It's pretty funny in a sad sort of way

 Spoiler

I have not read the books, but I figured it out pretty quickly. They also make it kind of obvious because that was pretty much said flat out by I believe Tywin in the show I think last episode, so it's obvious. Something like, "She's the key to the Stark house." That's basically what my coworker said too a while back, but not before I had figured it out anyway. She's so annoying, so we make her sections interesting by just making fun of her the entire time she's on screen.

I mentioned in my post "at least right now" when referring to her because there's always the very slim chance that she stops being completely ignorant and worthless and actually starts thinking. Then again, since I haven't read the books I don't know her train of thought outside of what the show shows...so she could just be as dense as a rock and as dumb as one too.

So according to wikis Gendry was never sold to Mellisandre in the books so is the show finally trying to trick us into not knowing what is next? HMmmmmm

My coworker has been saying they are changing a lot from the books in this season. For example, he was saying that Jamie lost his hand in a completely different way, and that John climbed the Wall differently and a few other things. Honestly I don't really mind that the book and show have diverging stories, because if I ever did decide to pick up the books, it wouldn't be as if I was reading the same exact thing as I had watched. It doesn't bother me at all if the story changes, as long as it stays as good as it has been.
