It's become common for people to film the live reactions of family/friends (usually non-book readers) during eventful moments in the series, the most common being the Red Wedding. And even though I think it's staged, I had to upload this one because of how funny it is.

Just watched the Westeros.org review of the first few episodes. I confess, I am very concerned about changes they're making from the source material.

This show is turning into fanfiction

 

Season 5 is diverging from the books. Heavily. This has been common knowledge for a long time now. You can't go in expecting the books anymore. It isn't going to happen. It's going to be AU from the books from here on out, and that is a definite. Their reasons for this have been explained to death.

 

It's not fanfiction. It's an adaptation. If you don't go into it knowing there will be changes, you're just going to keep having a bad time, no matter what they do.

Just because they're not basing it of the books anymore doesn't excuse the writing. Most shows are not based on books and are still good.

I'll wait until I see episode 4 in three weeks to discuss the writing with you. As someone who hasn't read the books and thereby has a view of the characters and story with no preconceptions, and who's just seen the first episode of season 5 by now, the show is doing great.

 

Anyways, the writing isn't the subject here. Calling it "fanfiction" is condescending and petty.

I don't think it's petty at all. I understand an adaptation necessitates deviation from the text. I had quibbles with changes Jackson made to Lord of the Rings. But at the end of the day, I still felt the characters on screen were the same ones in the text. That part of the adaptation was true. The same cannot be said for Game of Thrones. I don't mind that Littlefinger didn't utter "only Cat." Or that the Hound didn't tell Beric "This cave is dark, too. But I'm the terror here." My problem is that the show is fundamentally altering who these characters are. They're changing their personalities, their motivations, their desires, etc. That isn't an adaptation. That's AU fanfiction. The Cersei on screen has a completely different set of values and actions than does the one on the page.
