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.

I'm also hearing that HBO wants more seasons beyond that, which I'm like, lol.

In truth, I'm unsure how I feel about them spoiling the books. We knew they were going to be caught up regardless, and the show has basically been doing their own thing for a while, so if they were spoiling things it wouldn't be how it appears in the books themselves. But they would still be spoiling things which ruins the fun of book fans.

It's the kind of trouble with these kinds of ongoing book series that have show deals, they'll run into the problem with them eventually catching up. With shows that are made from books they usually go their own direction after a while (Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, etc.), and I'm okay with. But when you're still somewhat following canon events it makes things a bit difficult when it comes to that point of spoiling the rest of the books.

(Of course, if GRRM had been smarter he would've planned this much better by releasing the books earlier so this doesn't happen so it would be closer together, kinda like with JKR and the Harry Potter movies, so idk)
