    I think it ruined the franchise. Maybe that's a bit over the top, but I can't enjoy the good parts of the story thanks to this drivel.

    Personally I find George RR Martin a fantastic story teller. When I picked up
    a copy of the first book in the series, shortly after it was released years ago, I craved more and waited un-patiently for the next one in the series to
    be released.

    He is a master story teller, he sinks the hook in you and you are taken for a ride. When HBO ran out of material and went on their own journey they whole franchise seemed to take a downturn.

    I don't know if it was money or Martin's will to see the story play out on TV before he wrapped it up with words, but I do know that I have to unlearn what
    I saw in the last few seasons in hopes that his remaining two novels create a much better world.

    Let me start watching it real quick and I'll update you once I finish it :)

    GF and I start watching Season 1 get half way through then get distracted -- forget everything we watched and have to start over.

    So need to make sure the third time is the charm on this re watch attempt.

    Personally I find the books better, more detailed, but the same can be said
    for any TV show or movie that is adapted from books.

    With _very_ rare exception. The Princess Bride is one. And likely the script for Ace Ventura: Pet Detective as well...I mean, think about it, that was probably the worst script of all time :D

    Point well made.
