I want to express my ongoing discontent with the Game of Thrones TV series. I quite grasp that things have to be dumbed down for TV viewers, but the way it’s been dumbed down also makes for an abysmal experience for people in the know. Not only was the finale lackluster, but I feel very resentful of the extreme screwing over two of my favorite characters have suffered at the hands of the producers. TV Jon the whiny bitch and TV Stannis the whipped bitch have very little in common with their book counterparts apart from their names. As an example, here’s that same scene with Stannis and Davos deciding to go north in the books:

(click to show/hide)"Lord Seaworth is a man of humble birth, but he reminded me of my duty, when all I could think of was my rights. I had the cart before the horse, Davos said. I was trying to win the throne to save the kingdom, when I should have been trying to save the kingdom to win the throne." Stannis pointed north. "There is where I'll find the enemy I was born to fight."
Do we notice a massive difference between what happened in the books to what was on TV? Stannis acted based on his duty, while TV Stannis is made to look like a puppet on Melisandre’s strings. This is just one of the dozens of ways they shaft so many characters. Also, (click to show/hide)Stannis going north was supposed to be a SURPRISE TWIST, THANK YOU. Davos' fate should have ended on a cliffhanger for next season. Feh.

Why am I still watching? Lord Tywin and Tyrion, for the most part. The moments of black humor that have me cracking up, like Ramsay Snow and his meal.

The change that gets my goat happened during the first half of Season 2 and it's going to be terribly apparent in the next few episodes of this show. Arya's one of my favourite characters and in the book her (click to show/hide)killing of The Tickler is such a pivotal moment for her, since it defines her complete loss of innocence and the point of no return, especially after (click to show/hide)she leaves the Hound to die and leaves the continent on a Braavosi ship. It's also a fucking badass crowning moment of awesome which won't have nearly the same catharsis as it did in the books. It could have been something special.

But no, they just thought they'd kill that dude off in Season 2 for a tiny bit more dramatic impact. So fucking short-sighted, these writers sometimes.
