Re: Winter is Coming: A Game of Thrones (SPOILERS)
They tried to do to Daenerys in two episodes what Breaking Bad did with Walter White over 5 seasons. One was glorious, the other a head-scratcher despite some unremarkable hints in the past seasons.

I suspect the writers were told to make the last episode wrap everything up in such a way that the fans don't annoy the studio by demanding more seasons.

So, if the show went ahead of the book, what about people who were following only the book. Just curious.

So we're up to episode 5 in my house. I'll be polite and put this under a spoiler tag.

Re: Winter is Coming: A Game of Thrones (SPOILERS)
Well.. I'm waaay late in finding this thread.
I agree River, Danys turn was not sudden, her entitlement and ruthlessness has been woven in the story throughout.
On Bran... I'm willing to wait to see what George RR Martin does with the character. I'm kinda torn on my opinion on how the show ended. I think the books will be a lot different since the show left out a great many things that will (likely) be instrumental to the ending; the history, lore, and mythology of the Isle of Faces and the Green Men, for example. The show paired down elements of the story that made the final season thin from a storytelling perspective. The show writers didn't sign up to write the story and (I presume) they presumed that more of the story would be written (10 years later) for them to work with. No one is going to be able to tell the story the way George can.
