For me, I feel like D&D have no grasp on these characters whatsoever without GRRM’s guidance. They reached a point where they either had to wait for him to finish writing (impossible, HBO would never allow it), work with him to tell the same story, or branch out in their own way. And branching out is fine if they had a proper feel for what they were doing. I’ve come to see this season of Game of Thrones as AU fanfic. I read the ASoIaF books, and I enjoy them . I enjoy fanfic very much. AU fanfic isn’t bad or good on its own - its dependent on the writer and the ideas. At times the AU Fanfic in this season has been good or interesting, but a lot of it still feels very short-sighted and lazy to me. Rather than fleshing things out and telling a good story, it seems focused on the quickest path from Point A to Point B. There are also times when I feel like D&D are trying to write shocks for the sake of it, just to keep people on their toes and copy a little of that GoT magic. That ‘oh fuck, no one is safe’ moment we all had the first time we realized that NED STARK IS ACTUALLY DEAD. And it’s not necessary. So much of what they’re doing is unnecessary, lazy or just CHEAP.
