We have that... I just can't recall if people like natty have read the books and if he's asking these questions for the sake of the show or because he doesn't know future events.

 

I've only read the first book.

I knew as soon as I saw the last 20 minutes or so that most book people would likely flip their poo...

I liked it though...

Unlike The Walking Dead, these characters can slip in and out of filler/new content and not make me hate the show for it.

As it was happening, I was like, "I don't recall that ever happening"(I havent read the old books in awhile) to "WTF?!?!?" I didn't mind it. I thought  it was a great way to mix things up a little bit from the canon of the books and make it different so people stay interested in it. The ending was awesome.

there needs to be a buddy cop spinoff show featuring Brienne and Pod and the Hound and Arya

I'm actually a little relieved that they decided to add in some extra stuff. Book 4, and even part of book 5, was a whole bunch of filler stuff themselves,  tbh. It wasn't exactly riveting reading, I'm not sure I want to watch it word for word. If people think that the last two episodes seemed a little slow then I'd hate to see if they were going at it like season one and doing it scene by scene. As long as they are working with the author and don't stray too far off course, it'll be fine.

Is it possible that the white walkers are corrupted children of the forest of some kind and/or some sort of abomination created from the destruction of the weirwoods in the south?  I seriously doubt they represent some sort of pure evil ,nothing in this universe does.

I liked it, and I'm bored to tears by the north stuff in the books. It was like the first Bran scenes since season 1 that didn't feel like a bathroom break to me.

I don't want to get too spoilery, and to be honest I don't know that it has entirely been established in the books, but I think you're on the right track as far as your thought process goes.

 

I've long felt that the WW's and where Bran eventually finds himself, at face value, seems pure evil but really isn't...

Redemption is a pretty strong theme, and I have kinda felt like the CotF and WWs were kinda like the Native Americans of Westeros and the Andals pretty much were the colonialists...

 

Since that's pretty much the case, I am on the Great Other's side... I've always seen his opposition, R'hllor, as something kinda like Christianity by our standards... maybe a Wiccan/Abrahamic religion hybrid... It is an interesting narrative and allows you to kinda like both sides, I suppose. On one hand (and I know Dany isn't really a worshipper of R'hllor) you kinda pull for the fire aspect, but I really like the ice aspect more, I think. I kinda feel like Westeros deserves the long winter that they've got coming...

I'm really curious about the different religions and the cotf and what not.  I've already read a spoiler on the wiki today.

 

I just need to stfu and finish the books.

Here is a link on YT that helps provide a little more insight:

I wish we had a list of book readers and non-book readers in this thread.

sometimes I just want to straight up shout out spoilers to people that get the wrong idea of how things are going and where
