Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.
A few quick ground rules:

But the important difference, in my mind, is that Drogon tries to kill Dany. Dany gets a whip and manages to subdue him, then climbs on his back and flies away. In the show, Drogon rescues Dany from death, in the book, Dany basically dominates and conquers Drogon, then uses him.

This week's episode was good but looked like amateur hour compared to last week. Lots to get wrapped up Sunday night.

An interesting read about the show runners' relationship with GRRRRRRR Martin.

Obviously it isn't a big change, but it shows that they aren't really going to make much of an effort to keep to the details of the books consistent in the show.

There's a middle ground between waiting for GRRM to finish the books and just doing "whatever, because who cares anyway?"

Agreed, but to this point I don't have major qualms with how they've extended storylines, particularly considering the sheer amount of people/info they've not included. It's kind of nice in a way to not know exactly what's about to transpire, imho anyway...

I think it's pretty shitty if they are making huge changes before they need to. You can't "take back" Stannis burning his own daughter. If they had done that after running out of book content then okay.

Season finale tonight, so I'm preparing for the worst: - Arya gets raped - the entire city of Mereen contracts greyscale (along with the dragons) - Stannis burns Davos at the stake just for fun - Jon Snow is killed by a mean look from Olly - and Ramsay beats Sansa to death with Theon's lost penis. |
