But they can't really do anything with it on the TV show, with regards to way things go in the books, because they're shifted so much around, changed things (plot & character both), or completely left things out.
I think at this point I will stick with just the show. I'm surprised this show gets any kind of following from the traditionalist crowd. If they have made this many changes from the book they might as well just run with those changes and try to make a cool original tv series with loose ties to the book. No matter how you cut it it will piss somebody off. Why can't these producers and directors just stick to the original material.
