Nah, there are plenty of people who read all the books (including myself) who still enjoy the television series and are okay with most of the decisions D&D have made, with few exceptions.



I think everyone agrees that the Dorne story was cringeworthy.

There were also plenty of things D&D did that I was impressed with how well they adapted (like the Red Wedding, Shame) and things they changed that actually improved the story (like Hardhome, taking out Aegon).

I think D&D are in a difficult position, because they are forced to appeal to the casual viewer and adapt the books to be effective in a dramatic format. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I like to cut them some slack.

i think youre missing the main point of my posts, and i'm not gonna waste my time repeating myself. all of the adaption work has been great. when they take the existing story and adapt it to screen, they do a great job. however, when they do not have the book to use as source material the quality drops dramatically. and before you call me a book purist, go back and read my last two posts, as they describe the problems pretty perfectly and do not use the books or material from the books or comparisons to the books, to explain why it is just plain bad.
