This is getting into personal attack territory. Let's be civil and not feed the trolls.

How am I trolling? I gave my personal opinion like anyone else?

Casting this debate as a book purist vs good tv show discussion is hilariously transparent.

Regardless of the books and changes this is an objectively bad show, terrible, no good.

It doesn’t hold up at all, it’s an abomination.

 Book reading friend and I organized watch parties like we all did with GOT for a large group of friends. At this point it has just devolved into heckling and a drinking game involving candles and crying. No one seems to understand what is happening, or rather WHY anything is happening and no one really cares who the Dragon is at this point. Laughing at cheesy scenes like the barmaid chasing the boys through town is the most fun people seem to be having.
