And I need to go hunt up some Game of Thrones icons now(SPOILERS!!)
So I finally let myself get dragged into the red hot murderous mess that is GoT. I've read the first five books since November when I started. Finished before the end of December. Seen the first season, and now slowly working my way through the second, going "You're dead, you're dead, you are horribly disfigured, you're undead. . ." and so on. I just have to go through expecting every character I like to die a horrible death. But I occasionally let myself get complacent. So the end of book five sideblinded me. Damn it.
I keep imagining myself into the books and figuring out how I could have helped House Stark not totally fucking DIE.
And the show has been pissing me off making up new characters and getting some of the cannon ones wrong. C'mon people it is not that hard to dye hair or wear a wig! Brienne of Tarth is supposed to be brunette!
I love Samwell in the show though. They fucked some stuff up with the Nightwatch storyline, and with Danaerys in the Red Waste. Really annoying me. If there are only ten episodes per season I cannot imagine how much they are going to leave out from book three (which was the longest by far because a shit ton of stuff happened.) THey already skipped and changed a bunch of stuff from Arya's storyline, and for some totally insane reason that I cannot fathom, they changed Theon's sister's name!
Anyway, dinner is ready so I have to go. Enough ranting for now.
