Ok this is just what i can remember off the top of my head.
They litterally changed Dany's story.....not only that. but changed how her housemaids were and reacted... stupid, and not needed.
I just hated how they did not show acurate visions when Dany was in the House of the Undying. (Somethign that forshadows several other themes)
I just felt they undermined much of the Stark family (not too important, but I feel this family is the focus family and they did not even developt them to much).
My personal favorite character Arya... .just left out her baddassness.
Im not sure if its a bad thing. But Tywin and Arya BARELY intereact in the book....maybe a couple of times. But in the TV series they almost had a relationship.
Theon's entire personality is completely different than the book.
Ygritte... like the entire relationship with her.
Pretty much everything about Margaery Tyrell
Robbs realation ship with Talisa.... what the hell is up with that. Lets not only change the character who it was in the book. BUt lets make this person a nobody. At least Jayne was a noblewoman. This is so stupid and it litterally changes everything about how I felt about Robb.
The fact they changed character names because they felt the adience is to stupid.... or at least could not figure them out just boggles my mind..
Now I know they had an interview a few months ago with the producers and they all said how the changes for season 2 were needed, and everything was ran by GRRM blah blah. AND i understand that somethings need to be changed from book-tv.
But I felt they litterally changed who some of the characters ARE, who later in the series play vital roles.
Margeary, Arya, JON for that matter.
I dunno... I got frustrated with the end of season 2. And while I am looking forward to season 3, Im not sure I agree with what the producers have planed for book 3 and 4..... i feel they are just buying time for GRRM.
Not only that, GRRM is pissing me off.
When Robert Jordan died in 2007, he had given his vision for the WoT series to a friend of his. That way when he died the 60+ year old story can be finished.
GRRM already stated that ASoIAF dies with him. He is 64, in poor health, and at the rate is he writing, we can expect the next book 2015.
He is already worried that Winds of Winter and Dream of Spring may not be enough to see the end of what his vision is....so their may be a book AFTER Dream of Spring
With him taking a TON of side jobs, and screen writes, it will be a miricle for us to see the end of this series either a) before 2025, or b) before he dies.
The biggest thing that frustrates me about the TV show changing things is GRRM himself.
Since 1998 fans have been wanting him to turn GoT into a movie. He stated for many many years that he NEVER would do it, because his characters are so intertwined and complex that it woudl undermine everything he worked to create.
Now I think GoT both the book and the TV series are great. But thats exactly what the TV series is doing. undermining his work...
Unfortunally im a huge ASoIAF fan... and I will watch, and buy the blu-ray of all seasons of GoT...... but I can still hate the difference =)
