Im almost done with acok and i just read the davos/tryion/sansa chapters of the battle of blackwater rush and it was amazing much better than what the hbo series did with it they butchered the entire battle or am i wrong?

No you're not, but there was no way they could do the battle from the books in a TV episode. How could they get the money??? I don't remember what I thought in season 2 about it, I know I really was upset they took out the huge chain but overall, it's one of the best episodes of the entire series.

If I am not mistaken, George R. R. Martin was the writer of that episode. I am not sure how much control he would have had over all of the production of it, but he had a hand in a good deal of it at least. Also, there is the inherent budget and time costs already mentioned, as well probably including a lot of minor detail and characters that would not have been introduced until that point (I haven't read this section recently).
