I am a Queen, not a butcher.

Despite my feelings about the show, the trailers continue to make it far more appealing. Kudos to the editing, the music, the focusing of Dany and the dragons. It entices me more than what will probably come out from the season itself.

I will admit to being mildly curious as what they're intending on doing with certain storylines since they're going ahead of the books (not that it means much considering the choices they've made previously with other things). Honestly, I'm more curious about Dany's storyline with her meeting up with Tyrion (which hasn't happened yet), what will happen with Jorah (most speculate he will die) and what will be included from A Dance With Dragons, and whether she will be riding Drogon by the end of the season or not. He has grown much bigger, almost Smaug-size. I'm just hoping they don't include Aegon. If they're not including major players like Lady Stoneheart or Arianne Martell into the show they shouldn't include him, either, otherwise I'm going to be even more bitterly pissed.

Dany, Arya and Tyrion are the main characters that I'm really interested in, though Brienne is pretty bad ass, I'm not hating Jaime (minus the thing with his sister. He needs to stop doing that thing and I think I can like him a bit more), and I do like Jon. I just find stuff with the Wall to be kind of boring because it kind of drags out. Also Gendry. Need him back in my life.

I'm saying all of this as someone who still hasn't finished reading the books. >.> I need to get on that.

After the whole controversy surrounding the altar sex scene, I'm just not here for any of that nonsense. They're having Jaime be in Dorne this season, so I'm not entirely sure what is going to happen with him. I would much prefer they have him and Brienne together again.

Also Gendry. Need him back in my life.

He's probably still rowing, at this point. lol But it's true that he needs to come back. I'm saddened that they basically wasted his character like that.

See, I haven't gotten to that point in the book yet (I haven't even met Cersei in the first book, 'cause I stopped reading it in favor of another book that I still haven't finished) so I don't really know what the controversy was (other than it was basically rape because she told him no? That's the general gist that I've gotten from it). Is that part in the book or is it another thing that they added into it?

I actually want Jaime and Brienne to be together again, too.

Haha, he probably is. :( I hope we get to see more of him sooner rather than later.

It was in the book, it's just the way they filmed/interpreted it that caused the outrage from fans. The show did change Jaime's timeline since in the books he didn't return to King's Landing until after Joffrey's death, so the altar scene was supposed to be their reunion. The only thing disturbing from the scene was how they were having sex right next to the body of their recently deceased son. And then came the controversy with how that scene was interpreted by the director/writers and the failing of being on the same page as what rape actually means, and then the whole argument about the books being about "unreliable narrator" because it was from Jaime's POV instead of Cersei's, even though Cersei's only protests were because of the location and anyone could walk in and see them, etc.

Basically, the whole thing was a mess. :/

The show has changed things from what was read as consensual in the books to flat out rape, see: Dany/Drogo's wedding night.

:| Ah, okay. Them having sex near Joffrey's body is pretty disturbing. I don't get why the writers would think that's okay, especially with the whole rape thing.

:| I haven't gotten to the actual wedding night for Dany and Drogo I don't think. I know I got to the part where her brother is super creepy with her, and...I don't remember what else because it's been a while since I was reading the book. I really, really need to get back into reading it. I just need to finish this other book first 'cause it's the third book in a trilogy and I've had it since...September or October and still haven't finished reading it.
