But hot damn did they still make this compelling. Not only that, they made this season off of... 70 pages of source material? Another concern I had was a problem The Hobbit movies ran into, a lot of characters, but not a lot to actually adapt from. But hot damn, did the actors (shoutout especially to Paddy Considine) ever rise to the occasion to bring life to their counterparts in the source material - and the writers, under the guidance of GRRM, really brought what was originally written as a history textbook to life.

And the thing is... this was all exposition to the good stuff.
Pulling word for word from the audiobook/book, making one sided perspectives more human, etc.


They did a great job.
