I'm pretty sure that Dani is literally an insert of GRRM's sister that he can wank to. He has a thing for his sister in real life in case you couldn't tell from the massive hard on the series has for incest.

Yeah. I think the most interesting change is the show having Littlefinger take Sansa back to Winterfell as opposed to the Lanisters sending Jayne as a decoy Sansa. I'm curious to see where that storyline is headed.

If they just quietly killed off Bran's character to live in the tree sight unseen for the rest of the series, I'd be ok with that.

I really don't get it. It certainly wasn't the first on camera rape for the show. Hell, it wasn't even the first on camera rape of a main character on the show, yet suddenly people are getting up in arms about it.

It's easier to get up in arms about a television show than to make any sort of positive impact on society.

Arya's storyline is so painfully boring this season.

This is to appease fans of the books.

I'm gonna be mad if they don't find a way to send Sam to the Citadel. That poo poo was interesting and since we're never going to see another book I was hoping the show would finish that storyline.

Meh gently caress the books at this point. It's already moved beyond on some story lines - they should just go hog wild so what was one of the previous season's best stories doesn't fall flat on it's face this season.

Dorne has been more exciting than Arya's story this season - although this may have been due to the Sand Snake and Bronn loving with each other in the dungeon.

I disagree, I think most of the book's storylines are better/more interesting, but they would be tough to pull off on the show.

The show's still good and all, but I definitely hope that fat fucker shits out at least one more before he kicks it.

So we can all agree the Dorne plot line was the worst story this season?

Sure Dorne was poorly executed, but the Arya story is waaaaaaay worse.

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?

No, but the good news is that she spends half a book blind though!

Yeah, it's book 5 which features all of the characters not in Westeros.

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

No, GRRM is just the typical fantasy writer that went off the rails with his :siren: FANTASY EPIC :siren: 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.

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.

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.
