Yeah but people don't watch the show for character development - they watch it for burning daughters and heads being caved in.
That is so, but it's blatantly obviously the two writers of the show hate Stannis. One of them has a tattoo of the Targaryen sigil on his arm, so they portray Dany as a messiah and paint Stannis as a vile, dark, acquiescent daughter burning zealot. The complete opposite to what he is in the books.
They needed something for the annual episode 9 "shock" so they decided to have Stannis burn his daughter alive, a plot point so pointless and a blatant attempt from the show writers to get the audience to worship Daenerys as the only choice for the throne.
Stannis' storyline at the point the show is at in the books is epic, but they've completely binned for what I think are obvious reasons.
Anyway, book fanboy conspiracy rant over.

They people who write the show (David Benioff and DB Weiss) have completely destroyed Stannis' character. In the books he doesn't listen to Melisandre, he doesn't burn his daughter alive (he doesn't even bring her with him), he has a much better plotline in the books which they have completely binned and so on. They've completely destroyed one of the best characters in the books; whom I want to sit on the Iron Throne at the end.

Starting to rewatch Game of Thrones for the new season, forgot what happened.
Might skip season 5 though, I thought it was naff. Massive shame they're diverting away from the books. And I'm still a bit pissed at the raping of Stannis' character.

Saw Deadpool. Funny. Shame I didn't understand some of the in jokes; the nerds in the theatre did.
Also went to see The Force Awakens again because, Star Wars.

Cheers.I've not found a decent copy anywhere. There's an unwatchable Cam version out there; the title crawl is in Spanish, the video is blurred and the audio is shocking. If I find something better I'll let you know.
And yeah I've found that awful Cam version as well, found it in SALTS. Turned it off as soon as I saw the awful picture quality and the Spanish title crawl.

Will we not just have one game in hand? The Man City game? Which we'll get nothing from anyway?Just been looking by the time we play Stoke, both Sunderland & Norwich will have played 2 games each we could well be cut adrift by then. Then to see that twat with a grin like a Cheshire cat after we've been frashed 5-1 makes you sick. The thing is he'll never be sacked as yet again he's another one of Ashley's puppets

Stoke A
Bournemouth H
Leicester A
mackems H
Predictions anyone?

YESSSSSSSSS GERRRRIN COME ON

Stoke are hit and miss but I expect a loss. Bournemouth is, I despise using this term because we must with all of our games, a "must win". Then it's the mackems iirc? Dreading it.
Oh and it's 5.

I believe he ment their form as in the fact their unbeaten form under Hiddink.They're 14th in the form table.

We lost away to Chelsea 5-0 under Bobby. So I for one look forward to our impending Champions League run. Join me in Madrid.

Found the dedicated thread. Yey. Can now talk about it without feeling the guilt of spoiling it for others.
It's not just because some of his actions have been changed, but it seems like they've completely changed his character. Aye, they have a limited budget to work with and they have to fit it all into 10 hours of TV, but one of the most favoured and supported characters from the books has been completely changed. If you've read the books, it should be staring you in the face how much they've changed him for the worse.
True, like both of us have said, they have a limited budget to work with and they have to fit it all into 10 hours so they can't have every character and every plot line from the books in the show. But some parts in the show were unnecessarily there, and I thought were just there for shock value, such as the burning of Shireen and the parts in Dorne, both of which were, imho, badly written. If it's to water down the parts in Dorne and the North in the 4th and 5th books then fair enough, but Stannis' scenes in the North were written poorly. Think about it, one of the greatest commanders in Westeros at the time is killed by a ugly bastard who wields his sword like a butcher's knife and little military credibility, because of the world's most convenient plot device of "20 good men". I don't mind if Stannis does lose the battle in Winds of Winter, but they could have demonstrated it with blatant character assassination.
