Quote HistoryQuoted:
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. 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. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
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. 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. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Hmm. Some things I like (Dany's sped up timeline). But the whole thing with Selmy pisses me off. Everyone in all of Westeros regaled tales of Ser Berristan being one of the mightiest Warriors to lift a sword.

I hear what you're saying about Selmy, but even though he went down, he did take on a whole lot of armed guys in a tight space. He was actually fucking them up until he was overwhelmed. He's also old as hell at that point. I'd have liked to see him go down in a more honorable way against more worthy opponents, but it does seem more realistic that he went out the way he did. I think it was just a case of superior numbers trumped superior skill. |

I will concede the superior numbers aspect though, there were pretty much him and grey worm and about 5 or 6 SotH. |

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 mean as so far as appearance wise. True, Sansa was as stupid as her mother in Season One, and maybe some of Season Two. And you can actually blame that on both her parents sheltering her from the world until she was already a teenager (particularly horrible idea in a Late Medieval society like Westeros) |

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. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. Pit fighters, of course, being trained to slash to draw lots of blood for the crowd, while armor requires a totally different mindset and weapon set. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quantity has a quality all its own. And when you're fighting that many guys, one of them only has to get lucky once, while you must dodge, deflect, etc every blow they throw at you. Your post reminded me of the season 1 episode where the Dothraki swung his arakh and got it stuck on Mormont's armor.  |

In one of the MLP GD threads someone posted part of one. It was beyond fucked up. |

You have to really dig through the trash to find something decent or good, because most of the time it is teenage angst coupled with disgusting gay/incest/pedo smut, or badly written self insert fiction were every god damn canon character caters to the author's Mary-Sue. |

Drogo was about 32 and Daenerys was 14 when they married. |

it's part of him becoming more noble, if he's still alive, and her growing up to realize that life isn't old nan's stories and that pretty isn't always good and ugly isn't always evil. |

I believe he's that way because he feels like writing fanfiction doesn't take an author out of their comfort zone (aka, creating your own playbox and not use and abuse his.) Or he could just be a stingy old fat neckbeard...

He does realize that he can go to the various fanfiction websites and ask them not to have any of his works used as fanfic material, doesn't he? |
