I loved the fact that the show had the balls to kill off the protagonist, again and again. I always wondered how much influence George RR had over the last 2-3 seasons. Did he really want Tyrion to become what he became? Or Danerys? Or didn't he know himself. I think Martin just kept cashing his check from HBO and quit on ASOIAF. Fucker, the books were great. I'm not a fan of stuff like this, count me as one of the few who did not like Lord of the Rings. But this caught me. I was so gobsmacked by the ending of Hardhome. And almost vomited at the end.
I think Danerys was always going to go nuts in George's mind. How they got there would've been much better handled if the books were veer finished (which they never will be). The first three bokks were great, AFFC starts to fall off (though it still has some great stuff) and ADWD is boring as hell. The worst part is the story keeps splintering off in ten different directions when it should be coming together with only two volumes left. The Targaryans (sp?) were a gamble. You either got a really good one or a really bad one. I thought that Danerys would be a good one at first, because of her father and brother. The family was due for a good one. And I didn't know the big Targaryan secret (well, I suspected). But she went from the Breaker of Chains to the Mad Queen too fast.
Of course, everything went too fast.
