I gave up on diffrences its not good on its own terms the pacing is off the characters motivations are inconsistent its kills people for the sake of killing people rather than any purpose and sometimes honestly makes no sense as a whole. Like Sansa not telling Jon about the soliders or arya turning into wolverine, littlefinger teleportating and so on

If robb had lost sure being defeated would have lost some luster but he never lost a battle and being betrayed in such a way which again caused members of every noble house to die why would thouse houses support the people who killed them that makes much less sense than supporting the family that have been your rulers for thousands of years. http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2016/06/game-of-thrones-season-6-episode-9-battle-of-the-bastards/487595/ http://www.hitfix.com/whats-alan-watching/review-did-battle-of-the-bastards-on-game-of-thrones-live-up-to-the-hype at least some people see the problems here. The scenes and the visuals are great but the story just isnt there anymore and hasn't been since DD went off the reservation

I guess that's the difference between me and you I loved feast and dance and I also read everything else and in this season literally until now nothing happened no story has moved forward until episode 9 it's kinda been waste. And in season 5 every storyline failed dorne Sansa Stannis Dany KL only hardhome worked this rest just throw it away. They streamlined so much only to do nothing in 8/10 of this season they would have better served to at least try some book storylines. And you can't tell me there dude bro Euron is better than the insane dark lord we saw in the sample chapter. That the northern lord scenes are better than the north remembers speech by both lady Dustin and lord Manderly.

I oppose changing characters and storylines for stupid reasons northerners are not pragmatic and it isn't pragmatism in the red wedding which was a defining moment if has no aftermath what is the point dorne is different and already had a better plot. Ellaria has four lines in the book cutting Arianne and the whole dorne plot into the abortion it is now is stupid. And the north end fighting between for the house that betrayed and killed all their family members at a wedding they were guests at is also stupid how is this nitpicking this is the most basic aspect of the sorry

"Even when I threatened to have her tongue out, she reminded me of the debt White Harbor owes to the Starks of Winterfell, a debt that can never be repaid. Wylla spoke from the heart, as did Lady Leona. Forgive her if you can, my lord. She is a foolish, frightened woman, and Wylis is her life. Not every man has it in him to be Prince Aemon the Dragonknight or Symeon Star-Eyes, and not every woman can be as brave as my Wylla and her sister Wynafryd ... who did know, yet played her own part fearlessly. My son Wendel came to the Twins a guest. He ate Lord Walder's bread and salt, and hung his sword upon the wall to feast with friends. And they murdered him. Murdered, I say, and may the Freys choke upon their fables. I drink with Jared, jape with Symond, promise Rhaegar the hand of my own beloved granddaughter ... but never think that means I have forgotten. The north remembers, Lord Davos. The north remembers, and the mummer's farce is almost done. My son is home." [Aenys Frey] “I do not claim Lord Wyman does the deeds himself. He brought three hundred men with him. A hundred knights. Any of them might have—” “Night work is not knight’s work,” Lady Dustin said. “And Lord Wyman is not the only man who lost kin at your Red Wedding, Frey. Do you imagine Whoresbane loves you any better? If you did not hold the Greatjon, he would pull out your entrails and make you eat them, as Lady Hornwood ate her fingers. Flints, Cerwyns, Tallharts, Slates … they all had men with the Young Wolf.” “House Ryswell too,” said Roger Ryswell. “Even Dustins out of Barrowton.” Lady Dustin parted her lips in a thin, feral smile. “The north remembers, Frey.” by removing this it removes the charecter of the north and marketing this season as the north remembers and delivering none of it seems like a wasted opportunity. Stannis may die but it won't be with Ramsay and Shireen Melisandre and his queen are all at the wall while he is weeks away at winterfell he won't sacrifice his daughter mostly if she dies it will be weeks away at winterfell. And in the released Theon chapter it seems like Stannis is going to win the battle as the enemy are coming at him in two waves one of whihc is actively disloyal and the other just lost its commander. Stannis will probably die but it will probably be against the others and he will have no part of burning his daughter

It won't be close but then again nothing will be theon and asha are stannis prisoners, all the northern lords are fighting now ( there will be no army for Jon) and it looks like Stannis will win, Barristan will win the battle of Fire, Lady Stoneheart will keep hanging Freys, Sansa is in the Vale holding court, the sand snakes are acting under Doran's orders ellaria is akindly sweet woman who just wants her children to live, Euron is actually a good villain and so on

That's really crap considering the north remembers isn't about the starks its about the boltons and frey killing off the head of almost every other northern family in a betrayal so heinous to the culture that everybody is shocked its not really about blind obediance so much as revenge but the show ignored any consequence of the red wedding they just had it happen. Plus on the battle they could have had jon just win on his own in a tough battle, which is what grrm is looking like stannis will do in the books
