well what can you do when the original author decided to enjoy the fame instead of finishing the goddamn thing. now it's lowest common denominator jokes and fanservice crap all over the place because it's the last season and HBO wants to max out ratings.

it's sad to watch what characters like Tyrion and Varys have been reduced to



Varys lel, he’s had one line, and the rest of the time you can spot him like some extra in the background.

Quality of the show has gone down big time since they got ahead of the books. Tyrion hasn’t had anything smart to say in a long time lol, timeline is so fucked, etc.

Episode 3 is supposed to be the longest battle scene ever filmed. Longer than LOTR: Two Towers battle of Helm’s Deep



I dont know when they got ahead of the book, but i found the first 2-3 maybe 4 (cant remember its been a while) seasons to be great compared to the last few seasons that have been just alright

Last season they went on their own I believe. So season 7 and 8

They were probably assuming RR Martin would finish the last book before they got this far into the show, he promised them it in 4 years, it’s now 8 years and it may never come lol

Season 5 is where the show started to surpass the books. The majority of the season was taken from the books but a few characters, such as Jamie’s trip to Dorne and Sansa’s imprisonment by Roose are events that have not yet occurred in the books. Both of these story lines are likely to vary quite a bit if GRRM does finish his books since neither Sansa or Jamie had major involvement in book 5 and are in quite different places in the books. The events involving Sansa/Roose in season 5 actually happen to her friend Jeyne Poole in the book, and Jamie has just met up with Brienne and is seemingly ready to follow her in the search for Sansa.
Season 6 was 100% past the books.

The book rape of Jeyne was way worse than the Sansa rape in the show. GRRM is such a fucked up guy. Show >

I don’t actually recall any first person chapters in the book for Roose / jeyne/Arya, but it has been awhile since I read dwd. The show basicly substituted Sansa for Jenye/Arya for simplicity since Sansa’s story was a bit behind in the books and rather far from the rest of the action. I was always surprised how much screen time Roose got for a guy that was only mentioned 3rd person in the books as I recalled it.
