FINAL POST!

I would have to say since I read the book first that I like it more than the show.  When you read a book before watching a movie or show on it, I feel like we all get this picture in our head of how things are supposed to look or be and it just doesn't end up that way.  I never picture Winterfell as somewhere without snow.  I'm not sure if  I missed that description in the book but that was definitely something that was new to me.  When Catelyn described it in the book she mentioned how it was cold but their room was over hot springs.  Then we saw the show and it looked somewhat warm and there was no snow anywhere, although they were in heavy clothes a lot of the time.  One thing I didn't like about the show is how they made the kids so much older than they were in the book.  I understand some of the roles may be a little unacceptable for a child to play but it kind of throws everything off for me.  The scene with Danny and Viseries really threw me for a loop.  Viseries was a grown man but in the book he's not supposed to be much older than Danny, definitely younger than 20 without manly features in his face.  Also, with Danny it is much easier for me to see her being married to Drogo in the show because she is older than just 12.  It doesn't seem as wrong or uncomfortable and it just gives off a different feeling or vibe because she is closer in age to him and at a point in life where she could get married.  We haven't watched much of the show so it is difficult to compare too much of the book and show together.  I guess the wall was a lot like I picture it when i was reading the book.  It looks very cold and the woods do not look welcoming at all.  It is a place where no one would choose to be.  Shows and movies usually lose a lot of detail that is portrayed in books.  Like the beginning scene one of the character i remember is supposed to be up in the trees and that's why he is supposed to not be killed by the white walkers.  In the show though, somehow he just makes it out alive and it doesn't really make sense.  Overall, I do prefer books over movies or shows but I would definitely be interested in watching the Game of Thrones series.
