thrillM4TTcan anyone tell me whats the difference of the plot between the books and the tv show?
I read all five books from the end of the last season to about a couple months ago, so ADWD is still fresh to me. From seeing what's going on with trailers and reading about this upcoming season, HBO is doing some major cutting of the books.
They are shortening a lot of storylines...
They are quickening a lot of storylines...
They are cutting some major plots out...
They are using different characters for certain story arcs...
It's gonna be hard to just see the show as the show, and the books as the books. But I've already yelled at my monitor about some of the changes....it's gonna be a long season.
Yeah that's my biggest problem with the show so far. They could quite easily not shorten some storylines, still have them be interesting and not be running out of material. A more faithful adaptation would be just as watchable and wouldn't be trying to race ahead of the books because they have enough content to work with.
