I can't understand the notion that the TV show is bad or ruins the books, simply because the plot differs from the plot of the books. I understand the want for the TV show to be an exact replica of the books, but these are two different mediums. The differences are inevitable.
And even if the show saw some changes which weren't necessary, that's still no reason to grow upset. The show can still be enjoyable even with a different plot. It also doesn't mean the books are somehow ruined. The books still exist in their original form available for anyone to read (which is the way the story was meant to be told). So I'm not sure how the TV show can have any negative implications on the quality of the books.
In relation to the books, I think of the TV show as a slightly different, yet enjoyable, experience. Sure the TV show differs, but who cares if it's one of the greatest shows ever made? Even Martin himself said he expects some huge differences, but he's okay with them so long as the show is good and still has the "spirit" of his books.
