PINING 4 PORKINS posted:The only other conclusion is that the people who said they'd quit the show actually did and I don't believe that for a god drat second Reading the TVIV thread makes me want to create a spreadsheet of posters who said they'd stop watching but continued and people who create hysterical posts about how much they 'hate' characters that were their favourite 'badass' violent psychopath characters a week ago. Conclusion: stop reading TVIV (But I can't stop anyway)

So did Dany just say "holy poo poo I'm so done with all this" and just left everyone to die? I mean dragons are neat but that's kinda lovely.

Spoiler for those who haven't read the books: Bran, Arya, and Danni's stories are all boring and terrible. Borderline skippable. At least the show cut out the bit about Danni leaking period blood all over the place when she flies off.

Are you telling me that Arya doesn't become a rad assassin who goes around killing off the rest of the main characters?

So what I'm understanding atm: 1) GRRM writes books 1-4 in the 80s and makes a decent story 2) GRRM ate too many bacon pies and gets tired. Loses mental focus and goes off on a tangent book about bullshit 3) GRRM spends the rest of the 90s and 2000s and 2010s ramming full-size honey baked hams into his face instead of finishing the series

terrez posted:So what I'm understanding atm: No, GRRM is just the typical fantasy writer that went off the rails with his  FANTASY EPIC the moment he got on contract. Book 4 and 5 were originally just "Book 4" until someone slapped the poo poo out of him and told him to split it into two books so that people would actually read it/they would have an extra book to sell.

GRRM is the next Robert Jordan, and thank god for the TV show because it will eventually end and also has reigned in a lot of the dumber poo poo from the books. There's still some stuff missing that they either haven't covered or maybe (hopefully) are going to leave out. Compared to the show, the books loving suck. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just trying to be  about the fact that they can tolerate reading thousands of pages of bullshit. If you read the books underway, that's [my] an excuse.

The books have their problems, sure, but there is a lot more going on in them and most of the storylines have been vastly simplified for the show which is a shame I think because there is a lot of cool stuff being left out.

Like the Myrish swamp? The only thing I wish they'd include from the books is Bronn lancing his opponent's horse in a jousting duel.

The pretender Dragon landing in Storm's End, Victarion's Fleet arriving in Mareen, Davos wandering the North looking for Rickon, the Slaver Cities warring with Danni, Sam heading to the Citadel to become a Maester (though in fairness that could still happen in the show), and the overarching sub-plot about magic returning to the world are the big ones that stick out in my mind.

I don't think the show watchers would have the attention span to keep up with that many added subplots to what's going on now.

My mom can barely remember anyone who isn't Jon Snow or Danny and it makes me so angry when she asks me what's going on even though we watch every episode together. Also I wish Sam would speak up and just tell Jon he wants to be a Maester so he and Lily can get out of there.

That's what I like about the show. I don't really give a gently caress about Ser Whoever from a long and prestigious family and oh, now he's dead. Waaaaaaaaaay too many characters in the books. The show owns.

I said what I said as someone who read and generally enjoyed the books, I just think the show is that much better. The only subplot that I'm currently wondering about is the other Targaryen kid, and zombie Catelyn. Also whether or not Jon Snow is a worg that gets trapped in a direwolf's body when that little idiot kid eventually shoots him with an arrow like he did the wildling chick. spoiler alert

My lease ended and instead of signing another year contract for a place I would only be staying in for three months before I go off to boot I moved back in with my mom because she loves me and I'm a hero.
