I give it a 5, and only that because it is still what is it. HBO is starting to irritate me though. Sure, they need to change some things to fit the limited time, but so much? For example, doesn't Gilly tell Jon that the boy babies are given to the gods? Why couldn't they just add that line and throw out Jon running into the woods after Craster with a baby? Now, I see a lot of people are unhappy about some of the sex. I understand that it IS HBO and apparently they have a sex quota to fill for each show they produce. But the time they spend on sex could really be used to further the actual plot. They might even be able to reduce some of the changes they make due to time constraints. On a side note, I don't understand what it is with tv and doggy style nowadays. Anyway.... I can accept these things. Once they give me more dragons, then I will be a happy girl. The thing that bugged me most was Asha (seriously, they changed her name? I didn’t even catch that. Why bother changing it??) Her ride to Pyke with Theon is one of my favorite parts of the book! The banter is awesome! His shock when he learned the truth was funny! That COULD have been one of the best scenes of the show! It ended up being very disappointing. There was no banter, she LET him feel her up, which was just creepy, and the girl is not hot (not offense intended to the actress). Asha in my head is HOT. She’s a HOT pirate, bad@ss, “omg I want to her!” chick! This chick also seems a bit on the shy side. Asha? Greyjoy? Shy?? No way.
