As a book reader and Danny's biggest backer...I hated the finale, completely butchered the House of Undying; it was a complete let down on all levels.

With them giving "Blackwater" top biling they couldnt give it the treatment it should have got .

but ive gotta say even though ive read three of the books ive enjoyed pretty much all of it it cos of stuff they have changed makes it just as new for peeps who read the books...

I don't like being the person that compares shows to the books because I know the books will always be superior but this was one of Danny's biggest moments and what transpired there shaped her entire outlook in the next books and it just sorta fell flat w/ me. I loved pretty much everything else. I probably just had too high hopes for the HotU

This discussion made me even more interested in reading the books than I was before.

Can somebody tell me what happened to Winterfell? Was is the whole town that got burned or just the castle? Who burned it and why burn it if they surrendered?

This can't really be answered without spoiling shyt....

...and I was pretty disappointed with the House of the Undying as well. They just skipped over all of the foreshawding that happened there too.

yeah Varys seems intent on sansa being wed to joffrey. why is he so heavily invested on her? or is all about shytting on littlefinger?

I didn't get that same vibe about Varys wanting Sansa to marry Joffrey as you did, however he does hate Littlefinger. You see how he made that disgusted face when Joff said Littlefinger was getting Harrenhall

Can you put in spoiler tags how house of the undying was in the books? I heard
Rhagar was in it as a vision or something, similar to Drogo?

The warlock Pyat Pree persuades Daenerys Targaryen to seek answers in the House of the Undying. Inside, she passes through many rooms containing visions before she reaches the chamber of the Undying.[2]
A beautiful, naked woman being ravished by four of the dwarves who serve the house.
A feast of slaughtered corpses holding cups, spoons, and food, with a dead man with a wolf's head sitting on a throne wearing an iron crown, apparently foreshadowing the Red Wedding.
Daenerys' childhood home in Braavos.
A throne room with dragon skulls on the walls where a king resembling Aerys II Targaryen sits on a barbed throne.
A room where a silver-haired man (presumably Rhaegar Targaryen) names his son Aegon, says the child is the "prince that was promised", then plays a harp.
A "splendor of wizards" who falsely claim to be the Undying of Qarth and offer to teach Daenerys the secret speech of dragonkind.
Upon reaching the chamber of the Undying, Daenerys is spoken to in a barely perceptible whisper. The Undying call her "mother of dragons" and "child of three" and tell her some prophesies, saying "three fires must you light... one for life and one for death and one to love... three mounts must you ride... one to bed and one to dread and one to love... three treasons will you know... once for blood and once for gold and once for love..." The Undying show Daenerys many more visions before attacking her. [2]. They are slain by Drogon.

Thanks.

I assume I can't get answers about what some of those visions meant without spoiling the future story or without reading the books? :to:

You would get massive spoilers dude, Dany's visit to the House Of The Undying foreshadows the plot dynamics of future books.

Which is why them short-changing us on the whole thing in the programme is :dry: One of the best part of the books, it would have been beautiful and unique if done properly by HBO.
