thisphantomfortress Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Can't be the only one who hates the way that season 5 is absolutely butchering the books. Really dissapointing tbh. Up to this point I hadn't cared but the Sansa and little Finger and the complete removal of Young Griff have me concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSeater Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 The lack of young Griff, the lack of Asha Greyjoy and the entire ironborn plot, the lack of Val the wildling princess and her part in John Snow forming an alliance with Tormund, Sansa going from being a badass developing her badassery in the Vale to being a pawn and getting raped at Winterfell, the Sand Snakes going from being badass and trying to create a conspiracy putting Myrcella on the throne to being weak as fuck and trying to kill Myrcella and quite a few other issues too. I know its impossible to completely follow the books but to lose so many important plot points is really bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book Fanatic Here as well and I agree with all of the following the problem is the Books started as a Trilogy and then he just went mad and started expanding from four tangents to like ten... I have to say though I also think Young Griff should be included but the Dornish Plot Issues you mentioned are really shitty me and despite liking the scenery and costumes of the Dornish Soldiers what the fuck was with the Dornish Ninjas Turtles? They literally all had a different weird weapon like the Ninja Turtles - It was fucken beyond lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisphantomfortress Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 The timeline being as it is basically means that the Greyjoy plot will almost be entirely removed which is a shame. Victarion is pretty crap in the books because he's probably one of the least dense characters but he would've, in my opinion, been pretty good to watch on the show.

cadete Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Sending Jamie to Dorne so he get scene time is almost a bit annoying to me on a personal level. Jamie is my fav character in the books and they way he takes control of his life and the Lannister Armies in the last book reveals an interesting better side of him coming of age and taking up responsibilities. I understand this is not good TV and they need him in the show so they have switched things up but it annoys me as a Jamie fan.

GreenSeater Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Yep fully agree with all the above points. I also hate the way that they're trying to make this awkward odd couple buddy pic thing happen between Tyrion and Jorah Mormont. Just feels so weird.

Why change a winning formula? Jokes aside removing Penny it would be boring af watching them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malloy Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/29/george-rr-martin-game-thrones-season-6 Good news that he is focusing on the books. The fact he didn't write for the fifth season explains why the show is deviating from the books so much. Not that I really care because I stopped watching it in early season 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyh001 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 any predictions for the upcoming season? i've been rewatching the last season, and get a distinct impression Sansa Stark will be pregnant. her face was starting to fatten a little towards the end of season - something that leads me to think that the show runners were planning a big twist at the end of last season for season 6. as for the white elephant, no i cant see Jon Snow remaining dead for long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
