1st book.
Read that whole thing.
There is sooooo much the show only fan services, but when you read the book, it's like "OOOOHHHHH so THAT'S what is happening behind the scenes".
Things just "click".
I think the show is only about 1/4 of the content of the books.
It's the main plot points, condensed.
The show in its current format has some weaknesses.
1. 10 Ep season. Not enough time for stuff.
2. Budget. It can't go big. That's why there are so few fights, so few battles and so few dragons.
3. You can't get into the character's heads. Yeah, we know Ned Stark is pretty loyal. But just how loyal was he? How much was he loved? And how disrespected were the Boltons before the Red Wedding?
Things like this really help the overall story flow together much better.
Be warned.
There are some slow and more dry parts.
The strength of the show is that it trims the fat.
But I really like having more. The bigger picture is nice.
But it might not be for everybody.
I only answer to my username, my real name is Irrelevant!

i read an article saying that they spent around $200k to keep the paparazzi from getting nude photos of Lena Headey (but they still got a couple shots)
If Jon Snow really is dead I'm so done with this show. So much investments in characters without any pay off.
I'm also getting annoyed how they set these paths for characters then change it before it's completed. Constant fucking teases with no payoffs.
Also my a fan of how the finales are always just sets up for the next season...then the next season nothing really gets resolved and then the pattern loops. I feel this was the weakest season of the 4 so far.
Jon Snow better not be dead!!!!!

If Jon Snow dies, White walkers can technically make him into a zombie. Maybe the white walker king can do something even more to Jon Snow. He did like the fight he saw back in ep. 8.
If Snow dies and gets resurrected by Melisandre, then that should free him from his oath to the night's watch. Only death releases them afterall. Then I hope he goes and reclaims Winterfell.
Losing bit of patience with this show. I was no where as hyped going into this season as I was for previous ones. I found the conclusion to this season to be unsatisfactory. But like most ppl I'm fairly certain Jon snow ain't dead. GRRM is smarter than to pull this same stunt on us again...right?
That said no I won't stop watching this show but I really do hope it ramps things up a bit more and have more resolution to major plots.
Hope to see the greyjoys and the freys more.
Sup with Edmund Tully?
Where blackfish at? Still taking a piss on a tree?
Are they done with Roberts bastard?

meh, if i wanted proportionate "ups" with the "downs", i'd watch a show like entourage, suits, etc etc. The awesome thing about this show is that you can't hold on to the idea that the good guys will come out on top in the end.

This is why I like the fact I've read and I watch. Although the way she got to where she is is entirely different, the show ended exactly how the book did.
Spoiler!
Minus Drogon coming to rescue her from the Dothraki
I don't think it's a coincidence that The Red Cunt went back to the wall just in time for Snow to be killed. The only way the Nights Watch oath is settled is upon death. Also didn't the Red Bitch say "The Boy must die before the Man can live."? Now Snow will be able to do what he actually wants to do. I can see Snow rallying the Wildlings behind him now (The Watch obviously don't want them there) and turning into the King of North.
Now a Book Question....
Spoiler!
Where the fuck is the Catelyn Stark storyline??? Throat slit and left for dead in the river only to be found and come back as a strange figure out for vengeance against those who have wronged her?!
