I have been reading the books as well as the wiki page for a while. My wife just finished the third book so I can start up on it soon. There are the few subtle changes which had to be done for tv but it is still a very good book-to-show adaptation.

Subtle? Season 1 had subtle changes, I can buy that. Season 2 has entire scenes and huge segments of plot that straight up never happened.

Of course it's impossible to perfectly translate a book to TV show format. Some of the departures are kind of glaring, though.

I can forgive the battle being different, as they're massively expensive.

I feel like the entire Renly subplot where he's gay wasn't in the books, but he was never a POV character so I'll accept that too.

I was really annoyed by Ned Stark getting stabbed in the back of the leg by some dude in the show as opposed to a horse falling on him in the book. I actually preferred the guy stabbing him in the show, i just don't understand why they made it different at all.

To give us a Ned/Jaime fight. It never happens, but it was really goddamn cool.

What a great episode. I don't understand the ending though, but I guess they'll explain what the hell's going on in the third season.

Emilia Clarke is too gorgeous!


If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.
