I just view the TV series as a different beast from books. Like any adaptation, the screen can't match what my imagination conjured up. Add to that they changes that has to be made to fit on the screen in the time allotted and, other than already knowing the plot it different enough to take enjoy as something different.
And because I "know" what is going to happen, I find myself almost as interested in the changes required to get on screen, how well the actors get the feeling across, and the reactions of the non-book readers.
