There were telephone wires in the woods by Craster's in ep. 404 and they weren't there on the DVD (as far as I could tell at least), so they do make SOME corrections it seems.

For people who have seen 503, is it the best one so far? It was my favourite of the season so far but I think most people would say that 504 is instead. As alcasinoroyale says above though, it's definitely GoT's best ep. 3 ever, finally surpassing ep. 203 in that regard. |

Let's hope so. Mistakes like these can be embarrassing. |

Roose has never seemed this menacing before and his interaction with Littlefinger is amazing. |

I really loved it! The Tyrells have been painted as good guys for too long. It's time for the rose to show its thorns :whip: |

Eh, I disagree about Jon and Dany's storylines...without the book filler, they have plenty of interesting things coming in their storylines. I don't believe either one will have a 'slow burn' plot this year- this is definitely the big year for both of them. You're right - there's lots of great material for both of them - and I didn't mean to imply they weren't going to be focal points, only that their material is following the book fairly closely and expected. Some players get their plots messed with and others don't. I often wonder if that's because they don't want to touch the end-game characters for fear of messing the story up too much. GRRM has already said they have done a few changes they shouldn't have so we know there's going to be plot holes galore. I may be wrongly assuming they whiz past a lot of 'filler' in those stories. It's not about whether they 'should' or 'shouldn't have' made the changes they made, though. This aren't replicating the book, so there's no right or wrong way to adapt it. Changes have to be made because the book material is not always going to translate to television well. Martin was simply pointing out that characters the showrunners have cut, combined with others or killed off could be important in the books later on. But we don't know HOW important they will be, so it's difficult to judge just how different the story will be without them. And if they are very important, it's very likely that the showrunners will just give another more-important character their storyline. Just like we see with Ellaria taking on Arianne's vengeance plotline in Dorne. Just because a character is absent doesn't mean that their story will be. |

Also, I loved episode 3. I'm not a stickler for staying close to the books, but it did have my favorite moment from the books in it, and done very well. I can't wait to see the reaction to it.

"I'd like to read the reply" is the frontrunner for my favourite line so far this season.

You're restating the same thing I meant and maybe didn't word carefully enough. I never meant or implied George was warning them not to mess up character's portrayals just because that's not how he wrote them, but rather, that they shouldn't change some characters as much as they have for fear of painting themselves into a corner. As you said, without knowing the outcome of the story, it's anybody's guess if the show characters are going to end up the same or even close to the same place as their book counterparts. I honestly wouldn't want to be the show writers at this point. While yes they've had the privilege of knowing most end-game details from Mr. Martin himself, they can't possibly know everything because he's still writing it and actively changing things. This presents a real problem for the little details of things that will become a more convoluted puzzle to solve as the show passes the books. |

This presents a real problem for the little details of things that will become a more convoluted puzzle to solve as the show passes the books. Well, not quite what I was saying, actually. Basically, I'm saying that they can't paint themselves into a corner because they already know where the tv show story is headed. They don't have to match Martin's story or predict where it's going. They were given the outline by Martin, and they took it from there on what they were going to do with it...whether it ends up being close to or very different from Martin's intended outcome doesn't matter when it comes to whether it's good television or not. If they leave out a detail in the show that Martin decides to make important later...oh, well. That won't change whether the show was done well. |

The tempting info sustains me till then, having more is needed. Just so long as i don't get too much. In any case, if it's from the books i don't mind knowing in advance. |

It is both fairly faithful to the book and very well done IMO |
