I watched some of this series and I freely admit I am one of the few who think it is garbage.

Good riddance.

Lol. Idk, i just didnt take a liking to it. Personal preference? Whatever i say as a critique you will savagely rip apart and no one will agree with me.

I surrender! :doofus:

no of course not, I did not find this episode so great after reading the book I thought they spoilered too much what would happen to the slaver. Everyone knew his destiny. The book was more subtile.

WARNING SERIOUS SPOILER ALERT

The death of Robb Stark will trump it.
The death of Tywin even more so.
The death of Shea.
The death of Ygritte.
Joffrey is overdue anyway so nobody will shed a tear.

the differences to the book are piling up though, not that it must be a bad thing, they could never put the book into 10 episodes if they stayed closer to the book

- i don't remember all that Theon storylines in the book at all
- in the book the Dany promised the slaver all the cargo from her ship plus the dragon
- sir barristan only revealed himself way after the astapor
- i dont remember varys suggesting that zanza should marry a tyrell
- thoros the myr did not appear until the caves
- sam didnt flee the battle and escaped on his own, in the book the lord commander with his dying grasp gives him order to take the girl and the obsidian dagger and get to the wall
Dude! why would you post spoilers from the book in the TV Forum?

I thought I was safe reading the spoilers because I've watched the show up to this point (at the time this spoiler was posted)

Filming for S8 complete.

From Maisie Williams, who may have given away a spoiler:

This is what happens when Punxsautawney Stark sees his shadow and returns to his hole.

The spoiler was clearly marked as such and it was obvious that it refered to booker content, the entire post was about the series-book differences.

I was living dangerously and didn't realize you were discussing book content that would spoil future TV only watchers.

I thought I was in the clear because I was caught up to that point on tv and you were only discussing book to tv differences up to that point.

Probably my bad for reading.

Crazy, GoT isn't going to be back on HBO until 2019.

Honestly, this seems like I posted this a few months ago. 2018 went by fast and it didn't feel like I waited over a year for the next GoT.
