The show is so drastically different from the book that my head is spinning. I legitimately cannot remember sometimes if a scene I remember is from the show or the books. I picture the show's cast and sets when reading the books now so it can get confusing.

I know just what you mean... Have you tried going to Game of Thrones Wiki? It's for the TV series info only.A Wiki of Ice and Fire is all about what happens in the books. Hope that helps. I think there are more websites besides these two but I've found these to be most helpful.

Winter is coming, whether GRRM can still write or not. This whole thing went off the rails because Martin couldn't deliver a book before HBO had to deliver the last season. Now they're just making shit up. Lady Stoneheart leading an army? smh

I agree with you. Martin's slow progress put showrunners in a jackpot. They're problem solving now. I find this drama kind of interesting in a way. But, it doesn't excuse Dorne...

I assumed from the rumor that army = BWOB. If the showrunners make BWOB some massive 10k force, then yeah, not good.

Does anyone know why the producers are killing off characters that are still very much alive in the books? Shireen, Myrcella, Barristan Selmy (although he might not be dead), Stannis (again, might not be dead)?

I'm afraid GRRM let the producers kill off these characters because they will be killed off in the next book.

The show is so drastically different from the book that my head is spinning. I legitimately cannot remember sometimes if a scene I remember is from the show or the books. I picture the show's cast and sets when reading the books now so it can get confusing.

I'm at a point now where I don't think I want to watch the next season or hear anything about it until I read the book, because I don't want spoilers and I think I've already seen some at the end of this season

I don't know what the producers are thinking with Dorne but in the books Dorne isn't a major player yet. The Sand Snakes are imprisoned, Myrcella's returning to King's Landing, there's hints of a possibility of a civil war or usurpation of the Dornish throne but that's about it so far. Again, I think GRRM is letting the producers know what's going to happen in the next book even if it's not all written down yet in manuscript form.

Yeah I used to think Peter Jackson took liberties with LOTR.

they will kill characters that are either A) going to die in the book, or B) dont have ploy armor to the central story, or rather, the end of the story.

as for dorne, they dont want to usurp so much as they want dornish law to rule the land. which means Myrcella is right Queen and her betrothed is Tristan Martell [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

GRRM and D&D do communicate, they know the broadstrokes, but at this point they are so off base, i doubt they need GRRM for much more than the end. looks like they are taking their own route to the finish line.

Rumor mill. Spoiler(s) in here. If the first rumor is true, it further illustrates the show is out-of-synch time-wise with books -- book 3&4 in season 6.

Have at it. http://winteriscoming.net/2015/08/29...pear-and-more/

Perfect! I always thought this was the only reason to cast Farley, given how creepy she would look as LSH.

Yeah it does help and I use both of them.

See I forgot all about Lady Stoneheart. She's barely mentioned in the books and as far as I remember maybe once in the show (or maybe not, again I can't remember if I saw it or imagined it while reading). It's possible she commands an army in the upcoming book. It's also possible they really do have to make shit up because GRRM can't get off his lazy ass and write.

And what's with this talk of Jon Snow not being Ned's bastard son? I don't think I've once read any hint that he might not be. I fully expect him to not be dead in the next book and season but I don't expect them to say he's Rhaegar's son unless that's something GRRM has planned. Are there any hints in the books that he might not be a Stark? Or even the series?

"Promise me Ned....Promise me..."

Id say most indicators for Jon not being full Stark come from Ned chapters in GoT. I unfortunately cannot be specific besides Ned's promise to Lyanna.
