Game of Thrones Season 5 is now officially diverging from George R.R.
Martin’s books in a big way, and that’s not a bad thing.
This Game of Thrones article contains major spoilers from George R.R.
Martins A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons.
For the past four seasons, creators David Benioff and D.B.
Weiss have mostly stayed upon the well-marked Kings Road that George R.R.
And so far, this is not such a bad thing.
As a genuine fan of George R.R.
Inevitably, both were to be combined for season five.
However, the greater problem with the text is why we are now at this point of divergence.
This is not to suggest that Brienne is a poor character.
Where she was at the end ofA Storm of Swords.
Meanwhile, Brienne is never allowed to even come within a dozen miles of her quests goal.
There is no point in reading about Brienne Waiting for Sansa.
By contrast, Sansa is moving along the Kings Road with a very specific destination.
But as of the ending toA Dance with Dragons, it has not occurred yet.
Benioff and Weiss, meanwhile, are clearly pushing that narrative to its next stage.
With all of this said, book changes are obviously risky.
Quite frankly, many of Jaime Lannisters worst missteps as a character were strictly contrived for the series.
Aye, there have been poor changes made to the series to date.
It is a cold, desolate fate, summer child.
But if change is going to happen, let it change into something worth watching.
The first real step in that direction last night proved incredibly watchable.
Plus, the series brought back Jaqen Hghar.
Who doesnt love Jaqen Hghar?
