I started off enjoying Bran as a character and felt atleast for the first few books he was going somewhere then he met up with Sam who took him to Frostfingers and I thought "here we go!" Then it just got boring for me it was almost like a ...hmm what to do with Bran now?
As for issues of violence, I don't think the TV series does anything different from the book I know my wife finds some of it a little extreme (clegane and his horse) maybe I'm inured to violence nowadays, I don't think shows are trying to beat other shows on violence they all see what is being allowed and go "well we can do that too then".
Anyone think of any miscasting in the TV show? I know alot of people feel Jamie has been miscast I don't agree. And I think they have done pretty well especially if you check out the Stark kids headshots outside of GoT an uncanny resemblence and good actors too.
Sort of on topic and maybe a little off how do we all feel about Ron Howard adapting The Dark Tower series....fills me with dread.
Casting has been close to perfect, including Jaime. Only quibble is Oona Chaplin, but that's a "Helen of Troy" problem. It's easy to write a character that makes a smart man do foolish things, but harder to portray her on film, particularly if you make her a "good girl".
The actor playing Jorah isn't the bear from the books, but it's an improvement.
