Also thinking about the bad writing thing, I remembered how in S1 the major turn in Ned's story that caused him to confront Cersei and then ultimately get murdered and ruin the Starks and cause all these wars for 7 seasons was.... that he realized Joffrey was blond.

Sure they sold that "twist" way better and the show in general was just better structured back then, but totally dumb writing like that has always been in the show, when it was tied to the books and now as well.

Well there was no Maester Gregor Mendell around to explain basic genetic concepts to people. That's why Ned and Arryn had to go see Robert's bastards for themselves.

But maybe you're right. Maybe this is all a ruse by Martin. He's using the criticism of the show to make drastic changes to his books, and that's why they haven't been released yet!
