I don't understand the love for the Hound to be honest.

Like he's not bad but he's just another 'big strong tough guy' only with a burned face. Euron is cooler than the Hound

It's been a few seasons but he was one of the only people that was somewhat cool to Sansa when she was in KL.

People like the Hound because he gives no fucks and has no larger rear end in a top hat agenda. He's just a grumpy gruff with a heart of maybe-gold

I remember reading in the books about how some monk said that "the hound is dead" or something to that effect but it was more symbolic, that he had let go of everything that was haunting him and finally was living in peace. Which pisses me off all the more that they brought him back to the story. Like his arc was done let it go.

Speaking of characters that got put on a bus, what happened to rickon? In the books he disappeared but iirc they killed him off?

Agreed re the Hound.

Rickon is in Skagos with Osha (that wildling) iirc.

Jaime is likely hung from the neck until dead courtesy of Catelyn Stark.

see this is what's gonna be weird and why the showrunners and GRRM are hosed, because right now in the books Jon Snow is dead at Castle Black/about to get rezd, Stannis is working on retaking Winterfell while Ramsay has captured and either tortured or murdered Rayder and his lady friends. Sansa is nowhere to be seen and Dragon Lady is making GBS threads in a field. None of these events are going to line up within the show or book. All we know at this point is which characters die so there's no real tension in the writing anymore.

It feels like 90% of the show hate is just book readers trying to deny the fact that they've completely spoiled the plot of the books they've been waiting 6+ years to read.

I remember when George RR Martin saw the first season and got an insta-boner at Osha and Ros, and was all like "The actresses are so good, I'm going to have to expand their roles in the books!" and then he never wrote another book again and the show has now already killed them both off hahaha.

I would have regained so much respect for this show if they had the balls to kill off Jaime and/or Bronn. All of the tension evaporated for me a few seasons ago when I realized that they were never again going to kill off a fan-favorite character. They took away one of the things that made this series different and just piled on the plot armor.

Did you not see that both fell into the lake and are going to drown to death dumbass

This is v true but also because in spite of martins' really really weird poo poo that needed an editor he also wove a great palace intrigue story and any chance of that happening is getting squashed by lovely HBO writers but then again

I really thought that Martin decided things were going too well and made everyone retarded to keep the tension up instead of doing the things that they were supposed to do.

Yara is also heterosexual in the books, and has sex Jon Snow. I guess the show decided they need some LGBQTWEtlksajfd diversity.
