Originally posted by Bosh View PostMaybe. But the actor annoys the hell out of me, one of my least favorite castings up there with Mance and Illyrio from Season 1. His accent changes more often than his demeanor. Like I said, one note. Any good rat****er should be masks behind masks behind masks.
Luckily so many really excellent actors to balance them out.John Brown did nothing wrong.

Originally posted by Lorizael View PostThere are unnecessary elements to the books, such as the lavish descriptions of food, clothing, and heraldry. But beyond that, it's all part of a large plot and even larger world, and there are many who greatly appreciate the care with which he's crafted all that.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostThere's too many characters. The show has pared down a number of them into a single character by identifying which parts of them are actually interesting and important. GRRM wastes my time with boring nobodies who show up once, maybe twice, and then are completely irrelevant thereafter. It should be noted that even in the show there's too many ****ing characters. It's impossible to keep track of them all unless you start trolling wikis or memorizing it because you're somebody with way too much free time.
The more background and history you can refer to, the more real it feels. It adds to the atmosphere of the book, eventhough it doesn't truly help the story move forward.Formerly known as "CyberShy"
