Dramatic Changes? Bah Humbug

[erastes]

I’m a bit – for a bit read “a lot” Sick of the changes that are being done to Game of Thrones

Spoilers below so don’t click if you don’t want to be spoiled.

1. Who the blinkity blink is this Volantian nurse Talisa Maegyr? And since when ARE there troops of Volantian nurses scouring the battlefields anyway?  Why is she obviously being set up to replace Jeyne Westerling? I thought that the insult to house Frey was because the Westerlings had sided with the Lannisters against Frey or something – really – what is the POINT of changing this? Were they fed up with having too much politics in their politics based series???? BAH!!!!!!  according to the Wiki page, it seems that she might actually BE Jeyne Westerling in disguise and I suppose they’ve done this to make her MOAR INTERESTING and a strong female character. Hardly necessary – don’t you think we have enough strong female characters already? the POINT of Jeyne is that she is meek and mild and NICE. Double Bah.

2. Why did they change the scene where Robb lets Ygritte go? Pointless pointless and entirely lacking in dramatic tension imho.

3. Stolen dragons? WTF? There’s not enough WTFs in the world. Someone came in and slayed her Queensguard – er.. who are reputed to be some of the most savage warriors on the planet? Un-bloody-likely.

I’m sure I was huffing and puffing about other changed stuff, but these were the most annoying. NOT IMPRESSED. However, if they want to miss out the latest book entirely, I wouldn’t complain – nor would it make a smidge of difference to the plot.
