cwhitmuzik Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 The biggest change between the books and the show is the show has a lot less accent on the history aspect, which will come back and bite the show in the ass come season 4 and season 5 (depending on how they split up the next few books). It'll be interesting to see the adjustments then. Also, the Ser Dontos thing from the most recent episode actually happened early book 2. They're condensing that big time.

cwhitmuzik Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Also, I started reading the books after season three. It's interesting to be on a different side of the viewing spectrum this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xadamhudsonx Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I liked the little Easter Egg for those that have read the other George RR Martin GOT short stories, Jamie and Joffre namedropping Ser Duncan The Tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_jones Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Also the lack o fa lot of the introspective dialogue takes away from the characters in the show. But for the most part, it's been pretty close story-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhitmuzik Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Another big thing about the show is that since there is no narration, some of the historical aspect has to be done and it's usually done via "sexposition." hence a lot of sex scenes that aren't in the books. although that Oberyn Martell one was creepily awesome.

dave_jones Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Also the whole dream sequence after Ned gets stabbed through the leg was cut out, so we don't really know much about Ser Arthur Dayne and company, or have the back story of Ned's sister and Rhagar.

Team Avatar Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I don't think the movies and book follow close at all, besides the major events. Since i'm re-reading as we speak, everything seems out of order, and so many of the best quotes from the movies aren't in the books at all.

Every episode this season has been/is going to be amazing. That's why I refuse to read the books. Don't want them to spoil this show for me because it's some of the best TV going on right now.
