Scott. Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Ok watched the first ep. Bit slow but enjoyed. What's the deal now with the tv show and the books. No spoilers obviously. But season 5 is not following the books? Is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic McMoose Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 It's vaguely following what's left of the books for the characters. Some more true to the book than others. Does it count as spoilers if I say which characters are still following the books and which aren't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott. Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 You can say that just no storyline obviously.So we've caught up with the books have we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic McMoose Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Going from the book POV character perspective, the show hasn't caught up with Jon, Dany, Tyrion, Jamie, Cersei, Arya, Theon. Characters like Margery and Ellaria Sand didn't get scenes in the books focused on them. Part of the attraction of the books is the events happening through peoples eyes and how they interpret it. These characters didn't have chapters but obviously that's far harder to construct a show around. So it means having scenes that have to confirm motivations and actions. So those characters are technically "off book" but still following the story of the other characters. If that makes sense. Jamies story is the one that's most drastically changed from the books. From what I've seen of Danys, it's a little different but that's ok since there's a lot of stuff to get through. Sansa story has over taken the books, but it appears that they're basically swapping her out with a side character from the books instead of just writing her more story themselves. Stuff happens with a character that is made to look like Arya, but the show seems to be just doing it with Sansa instead. There are several POV characters from the last few books that they're just dropping entirely, regardless of their importance. The show also seems to be following stuff going on in Dorne much more than the books did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookies Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I meow along to it Omg me too! It just just lends itself to it I think. I don't whether it's because I might have watched the leaked version online instead of the aired one (there could be slight differences) but the editing for some of those scenes seemed a bit off, the Dany bits especially. Yeah there was one particular scene with Sansa and Little Finger that seems badly edited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Holly Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 The thought of Jon Stark, King of the North got me so excited and Arya Stark is now in training to become a ninja assasin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Value Boy Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Haven't read the books but I think (and hope) that Theon takes down Ramsey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic McMoose Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 The books havent got that far, but I think Theon killing Ramsey would be too neat of a bow to wrap it up with. This is GRRM. The people we want to triumph never do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
