It's how I feel too. And because she quickly went from a semi sympathetic figure under her brother's watch, to an all empowering bitch, so quickly, it's hard to relate with her or root for her

naw, see logical hyperbole below:
dany's story is analogous, in my mind, to a wave developing from a trickle of water to a tsunami. i really can't wait til she crashes

Bitch? She's like the nicest character in the whole series, lol. No one else from Westeros would give half a shit about saving slaves or taking care of people.

too bad for him. I hate how Dany's story is so fucking boring.from the no spoiler thread:

Oh yeah. It's not like her brother traded her into slavery for an army. Her owner, husband and serial rapist was a real people's person too in the beginning. Lost a child and a husband. Easy, yeah, that's the word

It's a TV show. I don't want to look at uggos. While it's a good thing she's still huge, I'm glad they didn't find some roided female bodybuilder or Chyna lookalike to play her either.

its going to be a red wedding type reaction when mormont betrays her, you know its going to happen, I think barriston will die defending her and new boy will save her and kill or force mormont to run.
I feel the same way. Not necessarily about everything Dany does; watching her lay the smackdown on that first slaver was awesome, but the way the season ended was boring.

The king of the Iron Islands or whatever does not seem to interact much outside of his islands, so the rest of the Lords of Westeros don't seem to know that he considers Theon a worthless piece of shit (even more so now that he is down a dick). After all, the rest of them value their sons very highly, so holding Greyjoy's son is a huge chip in their eyes.

Hence why I said, "since Drogo".Oh yeah. It's not like her brother traded her into slavery for an army. Her owner, husband and serial rapist was a real people's person too in the beginning. Lost a child and a husband. Easy, yeah, that's the word

Brienne nekkid
You can see there that she has a vagina, so I'd hit it.
Although I do think she should have played Brienne with her natural hair.
As for GRRM's feelings on the show diverging from the books: He comes from TV writing, I'd wager he's all for it as long as it makes for good TV.

Yep, GRRM is hardly a book purist when it comes to adaptation. He has talked at length about how he originally wrote these books because he wanted a format where he wasn't constrained by budgets. Pretty much all of his talk about the show has been positive and he pretty much gets his pick of what episode he wants to write each season. As GRRM is watching the money trucks get driven to his house each month, I bet he has to pinch himself in how lucky he got that HBO was willing to adapt his books.

I remember looking it up at one point during or right after season one. Various versions/collections of his books were like 6 of the top 10 sellers on Amazon at one point. And the top 5 or so on the fantasy list.

Since Drogo is a long time ago - I think the sentiment is if she would have gone through some kind of adversity larger then a speed bump this season people would be a little happier with her story.
Also I'd like to echo Noodlefaces sentiment from earlier. I read book 1, skipped book 2 and just started the audio book for Storm of Swords(realizing waiting for season 4 is going to be too long) As long as you are well versed in what the continent looks like and who the major players are including the houses that are pledged to them its pretty awesome.
Especially when the older british guy who narrates the audiobook is faced with the sex scenes - pretty hilarious.
I will stop posting in this thread when I catch up to where the show is. I know how tempting it can be to drop subtle hints at what happens next and don't want to be that guy.
Also I got my audiobook free from a facebook promo - signup was painless and canceling the continuing subscription was easy, just need an existing amazon account. Cheers
