[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 7604243, member: 6785785"] All in all, I think the pace of things since they show moved past where the books are has been a bit too fast. But I think maybe they're taking the lesson of the books to heart....that a story can take on a life of its own and get away from you, and then you can struggle to finish. The last two seasons have felt a little like bullet points, in some ways. I think maybe a few more episodes worth of shows to help expand and elaborate on some of the plot points would have been good. But I get it....there are schedules, and other commitments and so on. I mean, that's a big difference from a novel to a show.....a novel can have a cast of millions and none of their schedules matter. There are a couple of things that I wish had played out a little differently, or that they had more time to add to them...but overall, I think it's been very good. And I really don't think that the Dany turn is that surprising. Every single time she's been faced with opposition, her answer is to burn people alive. It's just that we've witnessed her journey so closely and the fact that most of her victims have been awful people that we've rooted for her. But if you go back and look at things, this is what she's been saying she'll do all along. "We'll board the ships, and cross the poison water, and tear down their houses of stone, and burn them all." My only surprise at the turn at this point is that they decided to actually go through with it. [/QUOTE]
