ThePrinceThatKnewNothing Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 So I've been doing my 20th rerun of GoT and i began to think of things that I'd like answered about the show. I'd ask them: If GRRM had finished the books would they have stuck to the books? If GRRM had finished the books would there be more than 8 seasons? Why did they leave out plot lines such as Stoneheart, Aegon, Victarion? In hindsight could they have done an extra 3-5 episodes from season 4 onwards to fit it all in? Why didn't they do the exact visions in the house of the undying? Couldn't they have at least had pyat pree saying them? Why did it take them up to season 6 to mention the prince that was promised? Especially as there were numerous opportunities, when so much time was spent on Dragonstone, and when Maester Aegon was alive. I love the show and I can imagine that some of the stuff got missed out becuase of budgeting. But there was a clear dip in quality in season 6, It felt rushed. It seems like they're rushing to finish because they don't have the proper material to go off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonSnowed Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Can't help but feel some of your question are pretty obvious without needing to ask. That said if I could ask a question it would be if you could change one thing that you've done on Thrones what would it be. Alternativey I'd ask how it all ends:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KINGpanther Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 What the f*** happened to Dorne! I pretty much know, budjet and time concerns, but i'd still ask why do Dorne at all? Why not use that time elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Ghost of Someone Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I could ask them many questions. I doubt they would answer most of them. Of the ones they did, half of those answers would by two words "F - - - Y - - ". That I am sure of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meera of Tarth Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I would ask why do they write more JC than in the books even if fans don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go into a similar direction and ask them why they've decided to cut Arianne Martell. They've given us Ellaria, the Sand Snakes and Areo Hotah who are less important than her for the Dornish plot, but excluded Arianne. I think that was a strange choice, so I would like to know their reasoning for it. 6 minutes ago, Meera of Tarth said: I would ask why do they write more JC than in the books even if fans don't like it. Nice one. I'd be interested in knowing that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Matthis Light Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I'd ask why they cut/change characters from the past that are long dead and change Grrm history, like cutting Jaehaerys II and making Aegon V Danys grandfather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KINGpanther Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Arriane was a.huge character for Dorne who would of entitled alot more time going towards Dorne which D&D didn't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cron Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 2 hours ago, Meera of Tarth said: Jaime and Cersei Hmm, okay, that's interesting. Now that you mention it, I suppose the show probably does have more Jaime and Cersei scenes, but I suppose the reason is cuz they changed Jaime's storyline so much in the show. In the show, Jaime has been at King's Landing a LOT more than in the books. In the show, he returned after losing his hand much earlier than in the books, and hung around for a while (he was even at Joffrey's wedding to Maergery, unlike in the books), and continued to hang around for a while after that. Then he went to Dorne (which he never did in the books, of course), then returned to King's Landing and hung around there AGAIN for a while before finally leaving for the Riverlands, where he sill is in the books, but in the show he's already returned to King's Landing again. So my guess would be that that's it, we've seen a lot more of Jaime and Cersei just cuz Jaime has been at KL so much more in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordImp Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 - Why did you cut characters like Aegon , Arianne and Lady Stoneheart? - Why didnt you give Euron a dragonbinder horn ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alayne's Shadow. Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 What was the logic behind Sansa "choosing" to marry Ramsay for "revenge"? I mean... Why? Why not just change that storyline and make her Wyman Manderly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boojam Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Going into season 5 all hands were seasoned, so why such a bungle with Dorne? Why the failure of imagination when it came to regiggering the Dorne story? Why the Bums Rush in getting rid of Doran? A short piece of awkward visual narrative not a signature of the show.
