I find that as the show goes on it has less and less in common with Martin's writing so I don't think I can really compare the two anymore. There have been a few scenes and lines that just made me cringe, Danny in the fire, Robin all of a sudden thinking of executing his most trusted adviser and family friend, do you honestly think any sane soldier would follow that little twit or Baelish? "My watch has ended!!!!" and "Now the Vale enters the fray!!!" or whatever the hell they said. I fully expected Arnie to pop up and tell someone to get to the CHOPPA!!
Speaking of helicopters, it appears Baelish owns one or two with his ability to jump around Westeros. Winterfell to Kings Landing to the Vale and now according to next weeks preview back up to the North somewhere? How is this happening? I guess the timelines are occurring at different lengths? How long has Sansa been at the wall? Long enough for him to get from the Vale to the North apparently.
I don't even care enough to argue it, whether you agree with me or not, but that is how I feel. I enjoy the fact that we are seeing progress, I just hate the fact that it had to come at the expense of quality writing. At least anyone who thought the show would ruin the books for them can rest easy, there is no way that Martin puts out .. crap, for a lack of a better term, like this.
