I'm just not in the mood for Euron
the character feels like he's trying to shoehorn himself into the story on the tv show
lol
Few finds on the internet:
We've reached the stage where the seven pointed star sigil above the throne is now relevant
Scenes from show that we haven't seen yet:

Hello everyone, I'm long time lurker, first time poster whose GAF account just got approved. Well, after reading the OP of both this thread and the other one I believe this is the place I need to be since I've read all the books several times now. I have to say this season so far has been a mixed bag for me but I withholding judgment until it's over since I feel like the showrunners are trying to carve out their own path at this point so some bumps are expected.
*cough* Dorne.
But, I think we'll have a better picture of where things are headed by season's end.

Welcome.
I think everyone's opinion of this season will depend largely on how the Battle of the Bastards goes, and what the aftermath in KL is, plus what teases they give us for the Battle for the Dawn next season.

Gave it some more thought... Maybe they actually will kill him. They definitely will need to start reducing the amount of POV characters soon...
I'm a bit late with this but eh
this was probably my favorite episode of this season so far. Man, Aria though - they can freaking put on the faces of dead people you should know you did it yourself god you are stupid
and I really liked those Hound scenes. Too bad that community lasted all of one episode

They wake up screaming at night
"what have we done with the source material? "
" who cares, we're rich"
"oh yeah, let's go back to sleep"
I will probably be Theon to do it. Or Ser Duncan, I mean Brienne. She kills everyone.

Well, not two episodes before we got an extreme close up of a penis for some reason.
Kill the best character in the books? Not ugh.
It was clearly to warn people of the dangers of genital warts.
Do you remember Dagmer Cleftjaw from season 2?
He was a better character than show Euron.
Fuck was Dagmer a great character/actor.

Finchy? He was alright. But, we haven't seen enough of show Euron to judge him.

To be fair, the violence in the books usually makes sense and isn't just thrown in gratuitously.

Maybe reading words on a page isn't as impactful to some as seeing it on the screen, but the idea that George's world isn't filled to the brim with relentless violence and brutality at nearly every turn just...isn't the case.
Hey here's a link to a RUMOUR of a spoiler regarding later in the season
I've made it a short URL so you won't spoil yourself if you accidentally hover over it:

This... would make a lot of sense.
At least it isn't Davos. I'm sure D and D wrestled with the idea of giving him another fatherly scene.
Davos' last act this season will be to unite Brienne and Tormund once Jaime ditches her. Mark my words.
I would feel pity for book Brienne after the ditching, but I currently hate show Brienne so screw her and her failed love story with Jaime.

Jon as KitN? Laaaaame.
Continued below, but with other spoilers included.
From the sounds of it he's going to lose the Battle for Winterfell until LF & the Vale turn up anyway so why the hell should he deserve to be crowned?

At this rate we need a third thread with leaks and all that.
Putting urls behind spoiler tags is the devil's work. If you tap to reveal them in mobile, you are immediately redirected without realizing it was a url. The shortening accomplishes the obfuscation already.

I don't think that question is at all relevant to them.
I think they'd think they've done a good job as an adaptation, and wouldn't compare them past that.
I really do love how you get into the heads of the characters.
They sleep in the same bed?
They're like Bert and Ernie.

I don't think they even consider this question. They've done a remarkable job adapting what has been written, and they're doing what they can with material that is still being written, of which they only know the very main beats for certain characters.
They can't control the speed of which Martin writes, and so they're doing what they can with what they know, which is going to take them in different directions.
I don't even compare the two, in trying to measure one to another as a success or failure. I do like to draw parallels and intersects, because it's fascinating watching two paths being forged to what will be the same destination.
We're getting more to enjoy, in the end. Of course, the books are the numero uno for me in this series, but I really like how they've handled the show.
Is it better? Is it worse? Neither, I say. It just is.
