mappy Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Indeed. Very excited to have it back (and I say that as one who has read all the books...but the show stands on its own brilliantly). Agreed. Ive read all the books too, damn good books. Show is fantastic too (when you can separate the two without getting angry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Agreed. Ive read all the books too, damn good books. Show is fantastic too (when you can separate the two without getting angry) I tend to give them a bit of a pass on some of the changes, lets it be its own work of art that way. And, so far, they haven't strayed so far that it has interefered with my enjoyment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show is fantastic too (when you can separate the two without getting angry) Never seen the show and have never read the books. Hell...I never even knew they were books to begin with!

And, so far, they haven't strayed so far that it has interefered with my enjoyment. The books are long and very elaborate with all the different tangents and plot lines. It is easy to understand why they sometimes need to change things a bit from the book because it just can't all be crammed into 12 shows per season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Preggo AND having her suggest the baby be named Eddard before dying Yup, double gut punch (as it were). H20, that was one change that puzzled me, as in the books having his betrohed be from one of the houses (just not the Freys, sadly) adds/added to the intrigue there. I guess her story in the books is headed for a dead end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, which was my main disappointment with that change in the TV show, it makes a part of what he has yet to write kinda meaningless (impacting the bookreaders). Especially because RR has apparently (and I am glad for this) provided the showrunners on outline on where the story will end up so they don't muck with anything crucial...

She wasn't pregnant with his child, her family has begged forgiveness to the Lannisters and have been forgiven, I don't see where it could go now.

North Balti Zen Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Again, not devastated over the change, and you are right, in the big scheme, no big deal. But it does foreclose anything coming of that arc, which is maybe a good thing, because he has so many arcs going at the moment its hard to keep track of them all.
