so glad i stopped watching GoT years ago but the…

Yep, I start wondering if maybe Grrm isn’t like, waiting for the show to end to release the books or something :p

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised. Like, okay I have problems with the writing in ASOIAF and that’s why it’s not a series I’ve read all the books or want to- but in sheer magnitude and scale of writing flaws the show is soo terrible, especially when it comes to cliches of the genre. Which, I like to read cliched epic fantasy; I like a lot of those cliches and stock character/plot threads just as much as I dislike some. And ASoIaF embraces more genre cliches than seems with its status as this masterful deconstruction of the genre. But to hear about some of the decisions the show is choosing -like with Jon Snow Stark Targaryen- frankly schadenfreude is the only proper response.
