That's my take as well. Like with Tyrion - WHEN and where Tyrion catches up with Dany isn't all that material, so long as it happens in the books. That's a pretty easy thing for RR to clean up. And Jon battling the White Walkers or not isn't really material, but it plays better in the tv format.ernest_t_bass;1733440 wrote:Yes, and no (from what I've read online). They're deviating some, but mostly because GRRM was incredibly looooooooooong winded in his last couple books, so they're combining characters/storylines/etc. One thing I've read is that GRRM has, in a sense, given him an outline of where he sees the story going, but both GRRM and D&D have to figure out how to get there.

Yeah, I guess the best way of putting things is that there are two major deviations (Sansa being moved to House Bolton and Jamie/Bronn being in Dorne) and a lot of minor deviations made in order to make things more convenient (and/or less bloated) from a story-telling perspective, such as less-important characters either being killed off (Grenn, Pip on the wall for example) or just not being included.ernest_t_bass;1733440 wrote:Yes, and no (from what I've read online).

Of those three, the only one in my game would be Ygritte. I'd kill Gilly and Yara.

That's a pretty lame way for Jon Snow to "die"...Even lamer to have Melisandre conveniently show up. Although supposedly Jon Snow, not Stannis,was in her visions (and I think this was mentioned in the tv show). Which makes me wonder if she really is powerful and perhaps even sabotaged Stannis, or if she's just an opportunist that got out of dodge (the Stannis smoke monster was real).
I foresee the Shaming Nun being taken for a rough ride (RR style, not Baltimore style) by The Mountain.

Also nice of them to never revisit Sansa or Theon. Have no fucking clue if they survived that fall.

I'm guessing they survived. We don't know that Stannis is dead, either. Although Brienne doesn't seem like the type not to do her duty.Laley23;1734734 wrote:Also nice of them to never revisit Sansa or Theon. Have no fucking clue if they survived that fall.

This show is starting to piss me off with the circles it goes in. Don't know how to further a plotline? Ah fuck it, just kill the character.

I don't believe Jon is dead. Didn't even phase me because I don't believe it.
What pissed me off about that scene is that the "Klan" killed him. Yeah, yeah they don't trust the Wildlings and have lost friends and family...but you think the White Walkers would fucking change things a little. So blatantly obvious they need all the help they can get and Jon made the right decision - you may not like him but I don't think you're killing him as a traitor.
If they do inject Melisandre into the Jon story line, well that would just suck, too.

You know all the good guys die in this show, right? I also don't think he's dead, especially with melisandre showing up. I actually didn't mind the episode as much as i thought I would, it set up some pretty good plot lines with Cersi, Sansa, Arya, and Danearyus.Laley23;1734738 wrote:This show is starting to piss me off with the circles it goes in.

Why would injecting her into the Jon storyline suck? How much more of "white walkers are coming" and "we need the wildlings" episodes could they do?gut;1734739 wrote:I don't believe Jon is dead. Didn't even phase me because I don't believe it.

Agreed. She took the shaming like a champ, hopefully it comes out she's fucking her brother too. Kinda surprised we didn't get anything with margery.bases_loaded;1734782 wrote:Leana looking great at 41.
