I guess they just wanted to at least keep that on a similar track as the book.
Age up a baby into a toddler and suddenly you have an actual different character. Age up a 12 yr old into a 15 yr old and you can write it as a pretty similar part.
Honestly, the easiest thing to do is probably what they did....and write off the pissed off Reddit loons because pissed off Reddit loons will always find reasons to be pissed off. [Reply]
I disagree. I like Sam, and I am interested in the Citadel story. I also am interested in seeing what happens with Sam's prick of a father when Sam shows up with Gilly and a bastard, and enrolling at the Citadel which his dad forbade him from doing. [Reply]

Well to be honest......the boat part can at least be skipped. [Reply]

Something important is going to happen at the Citadel. A key piece of information will be found that crowns the GOT winner.
that said the damn boat scenes offered nothing and we could have expanded the pivotal TOJ scene to give us more than the few minutes that we got.
We have 21 eposides left, correct. We have the whitewalkers, unification of sides and the final battle for the throne. The north and Erie to settle. How much time will they take up with crowing the new Ironborn leader. The book took 500+ pages. Hope they skip that amount of detail in the TV series. Anyway, a lot to cover. [Reply]
I did read a good theory on Ned, though. Pretty well supported by the books, too.
-He and Ashara Dayne fell in love, and slept together at the Harrenhal Tourney.
-She got pregnant and either gave birth or had a stillborn baby during the rebellion.
-She committed suicide due to Ned marrying Cat, killing her brother, and showing up with what he said was his son.
-Therefore, a major part of "the price" Ned paid to keep his promise to Lyanna was the death of the woman he loved. [Reply]

Disagree; the boat scene wasn't pivotal, true enough. But there was a moment between Sam and Gilly, "your little sam's father". Or maybe she's pregnant and father of the new child, either way: Gilly and little Sam are more of a family than Sam's actual family. They are trying to build that with 5 minutes of air time in the first 3 episodes. Not so horrible.
I agree; less interesting, but still part of the story. Plus a few people I know like the Sam story. So...... No biggie.
And to the little Sam being young so long. Who really cares? Good for you, you noticed a slight plot inconsistency, yea you. Just like the melissandra necklace thing, so what? I noticed it right away, but chalked it up to her magic and nothing else, then went on to enjoy the show.
Just enjoy the show. Has anyone else not noticed Johra's gray scale isn't consistent? No? Why not? Because it wasn't relevant (or isn't relevant) to the story (at least not yet) and neither is the age differences between little Sam and and the little Starks.... [Reply]
