This season has been a bit up and down, with the Sansa rape season being unbearable and last night seeing Stanis's daughter put to the torch rather vile and non-sense. But if you couldn't watch "Hardhome" and not be blown away, you have no soul. When Jon made the walker explode, that was amazing. I don't think anyone should be bothered by the story not matching the books. The showrunners know how everything is going to play out in the books. So if you think the "other Targarian" is important well... maybe they are going to end up being fake and are just a red herring. And yeah, Sansa may have not been raped in the books but another character was while Sansa had nothing much to do, so they just combined the roles. They have the series character map so they know where she's going to end up and I'm sure it will work out fine. Regardless, it's fantastic TV, even if it does make me a little uncomfortable some times. |
Martin said that some characters, like the other Tyrell, are important for the rest of the story, but unfortunately are not in the show. I think the showrunners know "who will win" at the end (and I'm not even sure), but that's it. They might forget important characters (or what, half of the characters we follow in the last books are useless? ^^). It's also possible that they change the story on purpose, in order to not spoil the books.
