Last season's White Walker/baby scene may have already been a spoiler. This season will also probably have a ton of spoilers of stuff that hasn't been published yet. Either way, it's probably not going to be anything like the books, so show only watchers probably won't have to worry too much about major spoilers from book readers either. We're at a point where we're at least 50% in all new territory. I know on paper it looks like the show is still two books behind GRRM, and they sort of are, but GRRM made it impossible for them to adapt those two books without them making huge cuts/alterations to the story so that it works on the show. Books 4 and 5 made prominent roles of a whole host of minor characters that the show never really established, or had been cut out entirely, so much so that many of the major characters almost took a back seat, or their plots didn't move much at all. Suffice it to say that the shift in focus on these new and minor characters slowed down the plot considerably, something D&D are loathe to do at this point in the story. It's more likely that they will cut out most of those characters' plots and just gloss over the events of books 4 and 5 with significant cuts and alterations in an effort to speed up the plot and avoid character clutter. That's bad news for poor old GRRM who's already struggling to keep up with the pace of the show. I think he's come to accept it at this point though. edit: Here's a brief summary of how the seasons were adapted season 1 - very faithful to book 1 with some cuts season 2 - faithful to book 2 but with a lot of cuts and minor changes season 3 - mostly faithful to the first 2/3 of book 3 with a lot of cuts and minor changes, some characters merged/cut season 4 - somewhat faithful to parts of book 3 and a bit of books 4 and 5 with some significant alterations and a lot of characters merged/cut season 5 - probably not going to be very faithful at all, but will be more a less a very loose adaptation of the end of book 3 and books 4 and 5 with a huge amount of cuts and alterations probably a ton of character merges. It's anybody's guess at this point. Gianthogweed fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Mar 27, 2015 |
