I don't think they just threw it in for fun.

Exact same thing! Thanks for clarifying things.

If I noticed something completely created for the LoTR movies, I'd have the same reaction. Like I said, omitting scenes for brevity or inventing scenes to cover ground is one thing. Adding a detail for no apparent reason is another.

Aragorn just handing the hobbits their swords was a great example of that. And one I thought was better than the book.
I've read the GoT books several times and the rat scene didn't even register as an addition. I knew they tortured those people in that setting, and I just thought I didn't remember it. I must have read or seen something about that method of torture because I didn't even blink an eye when it happened.

You know, the torture scene....that was specifically crafted to contrast Robb refusing Roose Bolton's request to torture Lannister prisoners. (this also happened on the show, but these accents are inpenetrable sometimes)
They needed to make that contrast on TV that the books do differently. Two different mediums need different presentation styles.

As far as GoT, I think it's probably budgetary - like someone said, it's cheaper to do the rat/bucket thing than it is to show them flaying the skin off of someone, or the other various kinds of torture they could do.

I must have missed something, when did Dear Leader ever make an attempt to work with others? He's always said he wants it his way. He even scolded McCain, in public, that they had to do things as he said because he won the election. So I have to call Fail on that pic.
But, then I suppose this whole political debate belongs elsewhere.
