Everyone needs to remember.

That the translation from book to screen will never be what you imagine it to be because a book can always describe and show you things in ways that will never translate onto a show. I believe Game of Thrones and it’s writers have done an amazing job being able to translate all of the storylines in the time slot they are given and with the budget they are provided. The actors always deliver and everyone just needs to relax and have realistic expectations when it comes to book to screen interpretation but most of all just enjoy watching the show, it was made for entertainment and to watch your favorite books come to life on screen so why not just love it for what it brings…not hate it for what it lacks. Which more often then not, is very little.

Except it didn’t for some characters.

I think asking for a one minute quiet scene between two characters is being realistic and is not exactly stretching the budget. Another example would be playing out a “death scene” like it was in the books so the reasoning behind  a character’s actions make more sense and allow us to empathize with them.

I see nothing wrong with fans complaining about feeling underwhelmed by particular scenes. No one is saying it is the worst show ever, but when they make changes that  result in a  disservice to a character then I think it is fair to make complaints.

The show is awesome, but it could be so much more if they did things differently with a few characters.

Making characters look 10x more foolish/annoying on screen than they ever were in the book is not entertaining to watch, because  you no longer want to root for them. I don’t want to ever want to get the feeling of “not giving a shit” about these characters because they are unbearable to watch on screen.

things change. and friends leave. and life doesn’t stop for anybody.

Agent Coulson meeting his younger self 

“I remembered this one time that I never told anyone about. The time we were walking. Just the three of us. And I was in the middle. I don’t remember where and I don’t remember when. I don’t even remember the season. I just remember walking between them and feeling for the first time that I belonged somewhere.” — The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Stephen Chbosky

“There’s something about that tunnel that leads to downtown. It’s glorious at night. Just glorious. You start on one side of the mountain, and it’s dark, and the radio is loud. As you enter the tunnel, the wind gets sucked away, and you squint from the lights overhead. When you adjust to the lights, you can see the other side in the distance just as the sound of the radio fades because the waves just can’t reach. Then, you’re in the middle of the tunnel, and everything becomes a calm dream. As you see the opening get closer, you just can’t get there fast enough. And finally, just when you think you’ll never get there, you see the opening right in front of you. And the radio comes back even louder than you remember it. And the wind is waiting. And you fly out of the tunnel onto the bridge. And there it is. The city. A million lights and buildings and everything seems as exciting as the first time you saw it. It really is a grand entrance.” — The Perks of Being a Wallfloer, Stephen Chbosky

“I remember going to sleep last night, and I realized something. Something that I think is important. I realized that throughout the course of the evening, I wasn’t happy about Craig and Sam breaking up. Not at all. I never once thought that it would mean Sam might start liking me. All I cared about was the fact that Sam got really hurt. And I guess I realized at that moment that I really did love her. Because there was nothing to gain, and that didn’t matter.” — The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Stephen Chbosky
