The Game of Thrones, Series 1 Book VS TV Series

I have a feeling most people are not going to like my view of the TV version of the Game of Thrones. To each their own. Additionally, people may think my review of the show and preference towards the book is a bit harsh or prudish.

On the contrary, it is because the book has such a wonderful plot, the characters are so distinguished as opposed to going off course with the story (see below regarding Bran's fall, for example) and having random, useless and thoughtless scenes thrown in as 'entertainment' that has made me feel as I do towards the show. It is easily a triggering TV series for survivors whereas the book isn't. Why was there a need for a change?

As a gift I received the first five books in the Game of Thrones series. I began reading and fell in love the story. The books thus far have had an amazing and in depth story to tell; yes, it does include sex but nothing over the top and by far not of great frequency. Finally, the Game of Thrones built up incredible and distinct characters; something the show is failing to do. The book series is easily is one of my favorite to date. I was a bit apprehensive to read them as I recall when the show first aired on HBO I knew it wouldn't be a show I'd like for many reasons; the main two being, I'm not a huge fan of television anyway and it looked to be just another story filled with pointless sex and nudity.

I Wish Wishes Came True

What does one need in order to feel complete and confident; in order to function fully and be at their finest when working towards their passions and dreams? I believe because each of us have different dreams and passion, it make sense that what people need in this aspect would also differ. However, this blog is dedicated to reaching my dreams and my path along the way and seeing that wishing is better than nothing...

What would it take for me to feel comfortable enough to be able to go after my dreams in a relaxed manner? The question would have to be narrowed down for there are so many things if we are speaking of everything; I'd wish for some normality in my personal/home life. I’d wish that the people I meet and counsel, on or offline, would be blessed and their lives would flourish. I would wish for no more pain, homeless, illnesses, broken homes, etc. I suppose many of us would. Then there’s always money problems, so I'd wish all fears of money and issues it brings along to be gone. I'd wish for more hours in the day and for more strength within me so that I may help more people without growing very weak and sickly.

As for my personal life,

Fear Removed, Standing my Ground- A Personal and Emotional Post and Day

*Note: I almost didn't post this because I see it as personal and pointless, but it is part of my story. It is part of my journey both as a growing individual and an aspiring author and artist. It is a bit emotional but this is where I let go; this is where I am allowed to be free of any care or worry. And now, here's to hoping for an end to the sad and tragic times quickly as possible. *
 
For weeks binders, folders, random notebook papers, file cases and journals have covered the entire side of my bed. I want to go through my collected writings for many reasons: inspiration, ideas, half written stories I'd like to finish writing or a possible forgotten piece for me to work on and add to one of my poetry, essay or short story compilation book(s). Not to mention, it is nice as well as it is motivating to see the works I've created over just the past years. I have far more work from childhood and teenage years which I haven't even bothered looking at yet.

But there is a problem.
