I mean, that barely worked in the books, there is no way you're going to do that in the show. The reason everyone hated the book is that it focused on plotlines no one gave a shit about

remember they also left out almost of the Ironborn and Dornish plotlines. there was nothing wrong with those. they could have included them and have had no gaps to fill.


i waver back and forth on this.

the trouble is mostly that if you keep the dornish plotline you have to keep quentyn's quest to the oven

but i absolutely loathed that they had ellaria take over when the actual doran had his own plot and was simply playing the fool

book doran was a ridiculously great character, possibly the only ruler who was properly playing the game, and it sucked to not get to see that in the show

i don't understand why Sansa sent away Brienne, right after talking to Littlefinger about her being loyal to the oath.

at first, i thought Arya did a face thing and trick Brienne to leave, but that doesn't seem plausible, cause i'm under the impression that she needs to kill a person before being able to use the face.

I got the impression Sansa or littlefinger were gonna try to do something to arya and didn't want Brienne to stop her. Could be way off on that though

I'm not really saying the teleporting this is ok. It is a little ridiculous, I just think it's really not that big of a deal. Gendry is gonna get to the wall. The birds gonna get to Dany, the dragons are gonna get to Jon. So what that it happened faster than it should have.

I guess really, I just don't care lol

Or you can just say, "with only 7 episodes they didn't want to spend time showing how many days passed" and stop being an insufferable nerd.

Yeah it's fun to make a quick travel joke, but then you move on instead of still bitching that every little detail in a tv show wasn't laid out for you.

Grow the fuck up.

Maybe she hadn't gotten too far yet. Maybe she has a really fast horse. I don't freakin know. And that probably will happen cuz Sansa and arya are looking like they're gonna clash real soon. And littlefinger hyping them both up. But they're not gonna have one of them get rid of the other. So Jon or brienne will probably show up just in time to stop them.

I guess again what I'm saying is whatever. I don't really care. Is it a little ridiculous? Sure. But im not gonna go nuts about it.

Prolly because the source material is a grounded fantasy focused on political intrigue and full of interesting and complex characters and the stuff were seeing from the T.V show is generic fantasy far removed from the things that made the series (and the books) great to begin with.

Then enjoy the books. The dark tower movie sucked, I didn't need to bitch about for weeks, I just kept rereading the books. Winds of winter will eventually be written and won't have the constraints of a budget to work around.

If the show isn't enjoyable, don't watch it. If it's enjoyable, than why bitch and cry for weeks like DuranOfTroll. If not explicitly stating how much time has passed is more important to you than the actual plot, you need professional help.

It's getting close to True Blood levels of comical

Risk everything to bring a zombie to kings landing to convince an unstable queen that hates us and wants us dead to ally with us.

IQ going down after each episode

Arya is an paranoid idiot and has no idea what she is doing. The direction her character is going is really awkward and not being conveyed well

Gendry is the fastest even though they're in the middle of a snowstorm and he has never seen or experienced snow before

Jon Snow's going beskerker mode and trying to charge at the night king solo Instead of hopping on a dragon and raining fire from the air. You could tell even the actor was like 'wtf am I doing '.

Well considering the entire point of your posts has been to make him madder, maybe you could just leave?

Personally I didn't mind book four much at all, and five only dragged with the Dany and Quentyn chapters. I saw a quite descriptive quote somewhere on the internet about the show, though:
"From the show being a great mix of House of Cards and Lord of The Rings, its now fantasy version of Transformers."
Very apt.

He was fending off the wights for everyone else to get on first. After he watches the nk throw the spear and slowly reload he wants them to leave asap.

The arya stuff is poorly presented but it's not unreasonable to think little finger is better at the game than arya as a fresh faceless whose never dealt with someone like littlefinger.

It must suck watching something that you don't like. Not trying to be insulting, but I just couldn't watch a show I get pissed off every week and complain about. I dropped Walking Dead after season 5 or something? because it went in a direction I didn't like.

Instead of watching and complaining weekly, I just dropped the show.
