Question for the book readers: Would you have a problem with this season if you hadn't already read the books? I haven't read them and I am enjoying this season as much as the previous ones. I'll go back and read the books when (if) the fat man finishes them. View Quote I often wonder if people will go back and read the books if / when HBO bypasses the current publication timeline, even though they know how the main plot plays out. If sales of the final books do take a hit, I'm sure the series has significantly increased overall sales and GRRM and Bantam Books will still be laughing all the way to the bank. |

Quoted:
Littlefinger in the books was also seen as a nice guy with no ambition and regarded as trustworthy by most of the other characters. It isn't even obvious to the book readers what he wants. Littlefinger in the show is radically different. Obviously slithering around like a snake, and his motives are clear to just about everyone. View Quote i'm going to disagree there. in the books, LF is flat disregarded by most of the nobility--he's a nobody, except insofar as he can act as a procurer for them. and since we only see him through the eyes of the nobility, it's not a surprise that he isn't discussed more. instead, we have to piece his character together from other people's perceptions. thus he's a wild card, with uncertain motivations. OTOH, the series shows him from a 3rd person perspective, so his motives are very clear to us, the viewer. so i'd say that the character hasn't changed much--it's the storytelling that has made him into a more obvious player. |

When Ser Barristan Selmy goes to arrest Hizdahr, Khrazz comes to his defense. Khrazz was forty years younger and two stone heavier then Ser Barristan but was still slain by Selmy as Khrazz was not used to fighting a man in armor. |

Shit happens in battle, that's how I saw it. We've lost a lot of far better warriors in the past 13+ years than the shitheads they were fighting. But guess what, even the best of the best can fall to an unlucky event.

While I haven't read the books, from what I understand the show writers have the overall picture. So even though they are going to jump past the books, they know where it is going. In that context the changes they are making may simply be to make the story more suited to the screen, while headed to the same point.

I was surprised by it because it was new. But it excited me. It’s always nice to enter in a new world and interact with new people and characters you may not have interacted with. Especially if you are a character like Littlefinger who has caused ripples which radiate outwards and affect everybody. It's always interesting to just show up in their world and play dumb.

Quoted: Plus, the battle at the end of ADWD specifically mentions that Barristan was wearing full armor and the pit fighter had no idea how to fight against full armor.
