watching episode five...i'm amazed at how much they've deviated from the books, especially with margaery tyrell's character, but i guess it is more sensationalist for tv this way. and natalie dormer played a similar role in the tudors, so it would fit well here.

They have deviated from the books. But I wonder if it isn't, for the most part, because there are so many characters in the book with back story that can't be conveyed in ten hours of TV. I wonder if the writers aren't trying to mash together scenes to make it coherent for the audience. As well as spice it up a bit. There was never the love making scene between Renly and her where she offers her brother to be in the room. I was waiting for that in the book... nope. Renly died. I thought it would have made interesting reading.

I am glad I am reading the books as it does fill in the obvious holes in character motivation and back story. Just about finished book 2. It has been so many years since I have read fiction, well a long book fiction, that it took me a long time to get back into the swing of reading for fun and not for learning... (derail end)

yeah, i definitely understand why they've deviated from the books and they've done it in really interesting ways, so i'm not holding it against them

(i was kind of obsessed with the books for a decade before this came out, so i'm one of those slightly nitpicky people.) i do think it might present interesting problems since the book series isn't completed yet...assuming they decide to do all seven seasons, once books six and seven are completed it'll be interesting to see if that throws any wrenches in the works based on how they change the storylines.

i am realllly glad they've simplified some of the character roles and cut out/merged extraneous characters. (though, really, i think they should have left asha greyjoy's name as asha instead of changing it to yara. but i just really like the name.)

read the books yet, i'm afraid to. [ lol ] because i don't want to pick apart the series, which [i think], is incredibly good..and the plot twists seem to work well even with the deviations..my favorite characters are Bran and Osha, and their repartee.
