RoninRiot take ⚔️
The show didn’t completely change that—early GOT was still brutal, political, and morally gray.
But the books went even deeper into the ugliness of power, war, marriage, and nobility.
That’s the debate: Books or TV—who understood Westeros better? 👀

Look, I've been a snobby book fan in my time (most recently as like a week ago), but I thought that was a pretty great hour and a bit of television.
Was it the exact story that I'd like to see George tell on screen? No. But it was still damn good 'fun' and felt like the culmination of a lot of things that needed wrapping up, and for the most part they did it well.
I've really enjoyed season three. I thought the show was close to being a write off before 301 aired, but they've pulled it back and I'm very excited to see how they close this up in two years.
The show and the books aren't the same thing. That goes for GoT and HotD, and I imagine it'll have a similar bearing on AKotSK as we move forward with that. And you know what? That can be okay.
Provided what they adapt and change is well done of course; change for changes sake doesn't necessarily mean it's good.

Something seems to have changed with #ASOIAF YouTube pushing a few videos that suggest #GRRM is never finishing Winds of Winter instead of the annual will it come this year videos. Feels strange, still remarkable so many creators still making video after video about the depth of the mythology and world building while others (no pun intended) rage hard that he’ll never finish the series!

Where I discuss the Season 3 Episode 7 of House of the Dragon!
Somehow we ended up watching this episode on a 150 inch outdoor tv next to the pool.

House of the Dragon: S3E7 Disc... -
Won't lie.
2026 was a real important year for TV/ASOIAF and with two episodes of #HouseOfTheDragonHBO to go, I think we're going out in a significantly better spot than we entered the year.
#AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms was an immediate and absolute success. It is beloved by general audiences and book nerds. And that was far from a guarentee when the show was greenlit.
House of the Dragon season 3 has managed to write the ship after a really poorly received ending to season 2. It's not perfect, and it' still struggles from the weight of it's own poor story-telling and HBO's meddling, but for the most part it's doing a great job of keeping audiences invested; even if I think they've made some bat-shit creative decisions.
All in all, I think we've got to be very happy with the year as we've got it. Another poor season of HOTD would have basically ended any hope of a satisfying conclusion to that story, and a poorly received AKOTSK would have been death to any notion of a second season; and potentially general audience interest in the world of Ice and Fire on TV.
In summery: We are so back.

uh, so if you're a fan of A Song of Ice and Fire and want a bit of new canon, you might want to read the summary of The Mad King production currently playing in London 👀

It's been *a bit* since #ASOIAF nerds had any new content to obsess over. However, it seems like that is at an end with the stage-play finally being viewed by audiences.
https://www.reddit.com/r/HouseOfTheDragon/s/HmduBhDRh8
There's plenty of other threads on Reddit too, namely on the r/ASOIAF sub. Definitely check those out if you're the sort of person who's into this shit.
The content creators are going to absolutely feast on these details, and honestly I can't wait for it. It's almost akin to an entire new book coming out in terms of Lore and backstory.

CW: House of the Dragon 306 spoilers
One of my bugbears regarding #HouseOfTheDragonHBO is how the show utterly ruined the character of Criston Cole. They wrote him all wrong, and the audience isn't mature enough to think him anything other than the worlds least successful incel.
So it was very nice to see him get an action scene before...you know. Was it the full butchering we expected? Not even close, but given they're obviously worried about ££ and time, it could have been worse.
The man truly was a force to be reckoned with. He's held in high regard by Jaime fucking Lannister for Pete's sake. Great commander, middling Hand, insane warrior.
That said. How the fuck do you not include the "no songs" line. It's about as close as you come to anything in Fire and Blood being iconic...and you just... didn't use it.

Where I discuss the Season 3 Episode 6 of House of the Dragon!
An action packed episode, yet still somehow slow-paced. I'm very curious how they'll wrap this show up in 10 episodes.

For every Blackwater and Hardholm we had four or five dialogue heavy plot driven episodes. Without those 'slow' episodes the episodes like BotB don't mean as much.
You fell in love with early #GameOfThrones not because of the one episode a season of pure spectacle, but because of the 8 episodes of delicately written, impressively filmed and beautifully acted drama that leads up to it.
The spectacle is great, don't get me wrong, but the bread and butter of George's world, of #ASOIAF and of the HBO GoT Universe itself will always be characters, dialogue and plot.
So whenever I see we've a slower paced episode of #GoT, #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms or even #HouseOfTheDragonHBO I settle in for a solid 50 minutes of what made me fall in love with this world in the first place.
I can't understand people who moan about the plot building episodes. Did you completely miss what makes these shows tick?
And yes, I am aware of how many # I've used in this post. Ma bad.
