On_The_Edge 08/21/17 11:35:05 PM #1:	do the show writers really suck compared to George RR Martin? Is he involved at all once they pass the books? Even as a councilor or providing direction? Just started s3 btw. I might want to just stop watching once they catch up to the books if the show goes downhill.

mew4ever 08/21/17 11:37:24 PM #4:	It took a dip at season five. In it's defense, AFFC and ADWD are a step down from the first three books anyway and there's no way they could have adapted a book a season once they got to those two. Would have ruined the show.

If it's declined in quality, it's because much like the books RR can't finish what he started. Only now he can claim the movie "ruined" his ending with whatever fake claims he wants, and then either re-write it by keeping what people liked and changing what they didn't or, more likely, never finish it.

It is truly a wonder that people are so invested in a series that may never even get a proper ending. I mean, the show will get an ending. And when most people got into the books they assumed there'd be an ending. Some still cling to that hope, true. Also this. I got in late, at the release of ADWD. That was still 2012. Some people have been following since the 90's... I hear people all the time say it's overrated and blah blah and it might be true but I'll be honest I haven't read another book series like it. On topic: I don't like a lot of changes or omissions but like others have said it's still one of the best shows on television by a long shot and it's very entertaining for what it is. I'm glad they deviated on the slight chance we really do get the last two books. The show butchered Jamie though. So fucking hard. --- Typical gameFAQers are "Complainers that always complain about those who complain about real legitimate complaints."-Joker_X <cite>Zeeak4444 posted [p:885217398] in Is it true...

And when most people got into the books they assumed there'd be an ending. Some still cling to that hope, true.</quote> Also this. I got in late, at the release of ADWD. That was still 2012. Some people have been following since the 90's... I hear people all the time say it's overrated and blah blah and it might be true but I'll be honest I haven't read another book series like it.

Polycosm 08/22/17 12:56:53 AM #39:	Everyone's got their own opinion on this... I'd say that the show gets better and better over the course of seasons 1 through 4. Seasons 5 and 6 take a dip, mirroring the lull in the source material. Season 7-- now 100% ahead of the books-- is moving at breakneck speed. The show has made some smart changes and some not-so-successful changes. The most noticeable consequence of the show being ahead of the books, imo, is that Tyrion's dialogue (i.e. the voice and unfiltered wit of GRRM himself) has suffered immensely. The recently-aired S7E6 had fantastic dialogue all around though, so it's not like D&D are totally blowing it. I think that the budget is the biggest problem right now. The story demands motion picture quality at this point and HBO is somehow delivering hours of it... but the show is also suffering under the reduced episode count this season. I can get over fast-travel, but we're also moving too fast for believable character development in some cases, now. Over all though, season 7 represents a strong recovery from the somewhat sleepy two seasons that preceded it. --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket.
