Game of Thronesand A Song of Ice and Fire.
Theyre the same story heading to a shared predetermined end.
Only the author of Ice and Fire, George R.R.
Martin, and theGame of Thronesshowrunners, David Benioff and D.B.
Except when theyre not.

And then the other is Diana Rigg dispensing more venomous barbs than Tyrion Lannister.
This is nothing if not an improvement.
And he has not as of yet in A Song of Ice and Fire.

This was most especially true for Tyrion Lannister and his journey to Volantis and Ser Jorah Mormont.
It is certainly a plot twist.
He also never comes back at all in the fifth novel.
Sansa Goes North
Didnt expect this one, did you?
Even her Aunt Lysa tried to kill her.
…Yet, were still waiting for that last bit in both mediums.
But thats not the case onGame of Thrones.
More Bronn
Thats pretty much it.
InGame of Thrones,he has gone from Tyrions sidekick to Jaimes.
If we could pair him with every character, the show could only get better still.
Instead, she proves to be the kind of child that Tywin Lannister always wanted: a budding sociopath.
Such ignorance and female scapegoating should not be placated.
Its a small but incredibly telling addition to Cerseis backstory.
Which leads us to…

Sadly, Roberts irrational grief over Lyanna poisoned any hope of happiness for either royal spouse.
Not much more is known.
OnGame of Thrones, Jon Snow personally leads the rescue at Hardhome.
And it looks to be a stunningly bleak one too.
Dany flies away with Drogon, and Tyrion remains a slave with Yunkai masters.
Pretty disappointing, right?
Aye, Tyrion does meet Daenerys, and East and West collide in spectacular fashion.

Unfortunately, shooting on ice is much more difficult than writing about it.
Sadly, part of this decision involved cutting much of Jons adventures fromA Clash of Kings.
Slowly, the Wildlings stalk them down a snowy mountain pass.
It is one of the most compelling moments in Jon Snows narrative prior to becoming Ygrittes crow-toy.
So, its such a shame that it was cut.
Yet one mark that can be held against season three is that it was also the year of torture.
But that is exactly what we got.
Ramsay Snow really is a bastard, no matter who pardons his birth.
No Peach for Stannis
This is a tiny but missed opportunity.
Full of life and confidence, Renly offered Stannis that fruit as some brotherly token.
Stannis of course refused his kin that he was planning to murder anyway.
Qarth
All of it.
However, the story of Tysha should not have ended there.
In fact, if it had, Tywin Lannister might have lived to get off that privy.
Jaime the Kinslayer
Speaking of Jaime, here is a character that will feature on this list extensively.
But he still was not an evil or malicious presence.
Jaimes inability to kinslay is why he was so blindsided when Tyrion did that very deed to Tywin.
Kinslaying in Westeros is viewed as the worst crime of all before the eyes of gods and men.
He who kinslays will be cursed for all his days.
Or more precisely, Sansa the Rape Victim.
Because in all honesty, marrying a man like Ramsay Bolton could not have ended in any other way.
It turned one of their best changes into one of the worst.
Its just one of the many Arya adventures that will sadly have to remain exclusively on the page.
…Yeah, well the added Battle for Crasters Keep is absolutely none of that.
Nope, apparently they needed to be raping a woman in the background, because…shock?
There truly is nothing positive to say about this entire detour.
Meanwhile,Game of Thronesseason five had him go on the dippiest road trip ever with Bronn.
Jaime Rapes Cersei
Could it be anything else?
Even though neither character acknowledges or reacts to it in the following episode?!?
