Anyone else get upset at the story deviations?
Yeah upset may be too strong....just irritating. Cause I foresee them writing themselves into a hole now with what they are doing.
I have not seen or read season/book 3, however I did with parts one and two.
I was amazed how closed the show was to the book in part one but was irritated with part two.I doubt I will read anymore just so a I dont notice the difference.
Don't get me wrong, the show is amazing despite the changes. Most of the changes are minor and required so that they don't have a cast of a bajillion. So for the most part it's understandable. The parts that aren't like that are the only parts that are irritating. Trying not to give away spoilers so it's hard to explain.
The changes are done for the flow of the story. I think this piece sums it up pretty well:
io9 GoT story
The whole thing with Theon is a pretty big change, I am curious as to where that is going. I mean, a lot of this is done to show "concise" character arcs for TV. I used quotes cause we're still following like 20 characters, but you know what I mean. Shoot, if it was up to me, I'd just follow ONE character for the entire episode and have a time line a-la 24 style to show how the story is progressing.
shoot, if they followed the books, season 4 would pull a lost and have an entirely new cast on the other side of the island! and if that's a Lost Spoiler, you'll thank me for not disappointing you like the ending of that show. /lostfanburn!
Yea it's things like Theon and the woman Rob marries. Theon I can kinda see cause his whole story is crazy and hard to follow. But why does Rob marry a girl from across the water?! He was supposed to be wed to a Lannister, so I don't get that part at all. The gist is the same but just don't understand that bit at all.
