I can understand that, the books are better than the show, but the show is fantastic in it's own right. The ending to the show was given to us by D&D and there's no ending to the books yet. As a super fan , I'm going to resort to fan fic for alt endings. I bet GRRM doesn't release The Winds of Winter until after he passes away.

Oh my gosh. These character quotes are making me seriously reconsider reading the books, cus it seems everyone is pretty different from the tv show, and I love that!

LOL. I didn't mind him so much. Probably because I'm super biased with my love for the Starks.

I didn't think so? Some of them yes but I thought the show captured the characters pretty well. I appreciated Dany more in the books, not a fan of her in the show but we don't have book material of her yet where I really started to dislike her in the show. I know- outlier opinion.
