![]() Its *because* these changes were so small that we don't understand why they were even changed: I think its.mildly annoying, but nothing we can't put past us as we move on to season 3 (it shouldn't have long-term repercussions, or at least, all is dwarfed emotionally now by the fact that Qhorin made Jon kill him so the wildlings will trust Jon and he can find out what they're up to.Ĥ - Numerous small changes - I agree with RS: as they put it, its not that we're nitpicky fans obsessing over small s that these small details were so easy to achieve, that its baffling why they didn't do them. I understand that they want to make it more of a "Hero's Journey" and not just have Jon be amazingly great at everything all the time. Rattleshirt's group attack them later but it isn't particularly Jon's fault. Jon simply lets Ygritte go in the novel, then rejoins Qhorin's band. He never discovered Craster handing over his baby in the books thus it wasn't his "fault" they got kicked out. In the TV version, Jon Snow seemed like a bungling idiot in season 2. I seriously think his book death was better.ģ - Jon Snow and the Wildlings - this has annoyed some commentators already. Rodrik Cassel didn't die like this in the books, though Theon's first kill of a northerner *was* also a beheading for insolence, and Rodrik *does* die in the fall of Winterfell. RS thought it still held up well and this is just the price of condensing things into ten episode seasons, and I agree. ![]() Not that I'm blindly complaining.we'll see him in season 3, its not like he's been expunged from the universe (which some online commentators act like).but the *setup* of Ramsay Snow's plotline was largely removed. The entire Ramsay Snow subplot was cut out. The Reeds don't show up yet but we've been promised them in season 3 so I honestly don't care about that specifically. Not one big change so much as many tiny condensations here and there. (brilliant quote from RS I need to work into fanart, from when they have sex on the Painted Table: "Gentlemen you can't f*** in here, this is the War Room!"Ģ - Theon Greyjoy and the Fall of Winterfell. Frankly, I don't even consider it a "change" when something which happened outside of the POV characters is actually depicted in the TV version. As RS points out, this was implied in the books it just wasn't overtly stated. ![]() They also graded each of these changes, from whether they were Bad, Good, or Mixed.ġ - Stannis actually having sex with Melisandre. They moved this into season 2 just because it would have been bizarre for such a major character to not appear all season. in the books, Jaime was only released and sent along with Brienne at the start of book 3. Much like executive producers Benioff & Weiss, I don't consider moving scenes around chronologically or from different books to even be a "change" at all i.e. Rolling Stone magazine made a list recently of "the Top Ten Biggest Changes" between the Game of Thrones TV series season 2, and book 2 of the A Song of Ice and Fire series.
