I disagree. I thought the show was EXCELLENT as usual.
I just find the Ros character annoying. For every 5 minute segment she gets every week they could easily give it to someone else. Perhaps a scene with Catelyn or Robb, perhaps another Tyrion scene. Or maybe a Bran or Sansa scene? I just think she's pointless. Yes, they tied it in but she gets on my nerves because she never existed in the books.
As far as liberties taken, I'll see how they pan out at the end of the season.
Asha however really wasn't exactly as I pictured her... maybe it was the fugly face but whatever. We'll see. I felt that whole scene at the docks was rushed and started off wrong. Shame. Also, Yara? WTF.... Why cause Osha sounds too much as Asha? What will they do once all the Gruznaqaqnqnaqaqaqas that will come in?
The only thing that does bother me is that large amount of bad titty I've been seeing. Sure I expected the boat whore to be some random fugly POA but comon, somehow somewhere there has to be an actress with natural nice breasts? As far unnecessary T&A, they were mostly all in the book, even with a pretty safe assumption that Melisandre had sex with Stannis but it was never revealed openly... such as Renly's gayness with the Knight of Flowers.
I close my eyes and think of Pillars of the Earth and go.... Hello Hayley Atwell
