Sure, the books have made me hate the show more than I would otherwise, but I also gained the enjoyment of reading the books so it's a net positive for me.Strat wrote:Man, im so glad I haven't read the books. Book readers are miserable when it comes to the show!
During the War of the Five Kings, Ramsay is initially loyal to King in the North Robb Stark, retaking Winterfell from Theon Greyjoy on his orders but at the same time sacking the castle as part of his father's scheme to betray House Stark. Following the successful capture of Winterfell from the Ironborn, Ramsay holds Theon captive and utilizes extreme torture to break him into loyal submission; renaming him "Reek".Strat wrote:Can someone clarify exactly who ramsey is and why he took Theyon? I understand they are someone related tot he starks and he wanted some revenge but i think im actually missing that....

Man, the Arya storyline really doesn't make sense and what the fuck actually happened with Hodor? I'm not sure I really follow any of that.
Am I right that the show never gives the Three Eyed Raven's actual name? That's fucking weird.

honestly, i think the problem with most of you book readers is that you think that the show is an adaptation of the books instead of merely being based on the books. and so if any part of the show veers in a different direction, you get all apoplectic.cutuphalfdead wrote:Sure, the books have made me hate the show more than I would otherwise, but I also gained the enjoyment of reading the books so it's a net positive for me.Strat wrote:Man, im so glad I haven't read the books.
