Game of Thrones

[Dranzer]

So, I have to say now, after seeing a good bit of the second season, that I'm disappointed. They deviated from the book a lot more than I had anticipated (actually changing some of the storyline for certain characters almost completely). Some of the shit they did to Daenyrus was particularly frustrating:

SPOILER!!:

Her dragons were never stolen in the book, and I thought that made her seem really ****ing weak. In Clash of Kings, she had personal guards guarding her dragons when she wasn't with them, and she always had one of them with her. When she goes to visit the House of the Undying it has nothing to do with retrieving her dragons, but she goes to seek the warlock's council in regards to gaining back her throne. Of course, it's a trick - her dragons are sought after greatly, but seeing how one of them actually saves her from that house (which was ****ing creepy) I thought that change was a major ****-up.

And Arya:

SPOILER!!:

Is never Tywin's cupbearer/holder/whatever the ****. However, I liked the dynamic between those two actors, and I can understand the need to show his planning in regards to King's Landing, etc. In the book it never really mentions what exactly he's going to do until the end basically. Arya's under the command of this ****wad "Weese", but the whole three lives thing with Jaqen H'Ghar is the same (the lives are slightly different though).

And Bran:

SPOILER!!:

They left out the frog-people completely, that was REALLY disappointing cause I wanted to see who they go to play them: Meera and Jojen I believe. They're the ones who inform Bran of his gift/magical ability. I'm surprised they cut them out, since Bran hits the road with them in Storm of Swords, so I don't know if they're gonna add them in later or what...

And Jon:

SPOILER!!:

The whole thing with the red-head's completely different towards the end of book two; HBO had to start the sex shit with him early - shocker.

And Rob:

SPOILER!!:

Is only mentioned in passing, so I understand some of his scenes, but the nurse bit is off. He marries a woman of lesser nobility who nursed him back to health from an injury in one of the battles he fought. I'm not sure if they kept her identity the same (secretly) or if they changed that whole thing as well. Regardless, the result is the same - his alliance with whatshisname is put to shit.

However, I loved:

SPOILER!!:

When Joffrey gets the shit thrown at him. Best. Chapter. Ever.

Also, RamesesII - Jon's fat friend is Samwell Tarly (Sam), he's kind of awesome.
