Anyone who thinks there are not rather large artistic licenses taken with ASOIAF in its HBO treatment basically does not know shit about anything that is going on in the story. That goes for about 80% of the people who I know IRL who have read these as well, so you are not alone. It is an extremely intricate, organic tapestry GRRM has created and there will always be those who are more perceptive and intellectually curious than others.

ive read the books several times there great theres lots of subtext that is only available in the artistic medium of writing so I think your "reading" too much into it

or your just hella way more smarters than everyone

I appreciate the concern that I may have missed this aspect of medium-switching. I agree with your statement. Still, "a picture is worth a thousand words" did not become a phrase accidentally. Now expand that to video!

Well its good to know that the show is so different from the comics.. might actually read them once the tv series is done.

comics are pretty brutal though so theres not really a way to have the kind of stuff from comics happen not on HBO

Are you kidding? The books are shit. Hack, cliched shit, and I've never heard different from anyone who's read them. For the first few seasons the show was not only better overall but written better than the books. Now it's pretty much the worst thing on tv, though. Should have killed it with Rita, imo.

Walking Dead is pretty boring, really. I mean, I watch it every week; don't get me wrong. It's just always kind of a let-down. The acting is pretty bad, which really doesn't help when it spends so much time trying to be a thinking-man's zombie-show. I only really keep watching because I assume eventually they'll kill Carl.

If Carl isn't going to die then they better kill the Asian kid spectacularly.
