A Game of Thrones

Possible Game of Thrones Spoilers Below!


I'm a huge 'A Song of Ice and Fire' fan. I'm currently rereading A Feast for Crows for the third time and enjoying it just as much as the first time! I'm also trying to enjoy the tv show. However, I think my love for the books is overshadowing how much I can enjoy the tv series. I'm constantly (even when I try not to) comparing the two and being irritated when they change certain plot points (WTF, Daenerys never had her dragons stolen in the books) 

It feels like I'm watching only to enjoy the moments I remember from the books and to curse when something happens that is new. And I hate that! I know that it's a great show and they did a magnificent job regarding casting and much of the locations and sets are very close to how I imagined they would be. 

I just can't relax and even though I know logically that of course they have to change and compress a lot of things, because it's a different medium and they have to do that, I just can't feel it and every time I watch a new episode, I get tense and irritated when they change something. 

Then again, I often get irritated or tense in my everyday life when something changes when I don't expect it to. 

So! New Goal: Relax and don't get stressed about things when they change and try to go with the flow more because that's a lot more enjoyable!
