If they followed the books more it would work and could introduce newer characters and newer storylines. Only thing holding them back is that the actors and actresses grow older fast

They can't follow the books because the books got boring after the end of last season. This is the reason they're changing things this season.

Wat?  They're not following the book anymore because they've completely caught up. 

How do you expect them to follow a book that hasn't been written yet?

What are you talking about? They have literally not caught up.

Seriously, way to make a claim that's so easy to check.

The show at the start of this season had not caught up, and it's still not caught up....

[Jona]

Not entirely true to say so either way. For some characters it has caught up, some it hasn't.

Who has it caught up with? More importantly, who had it caught up at the start of the season when they started creating their own plotlines?

Uhhh... Sansa is kinda a big one. Have Tyrion and Danaerys met in the books yet either? No. Remember, just because what you're seeing in the show hasn't happened in the books yet (or completely diverges from them) doesn't mean that they are simply adding filler, waiting for the books to come out. They are intentionally cutting out plotlines and inventing new ones to speed up the completion of the series.

1) No, it hasn't caught up with Sansa, Sansa is doing something completely different in the books.
2) Hasn't caught up with Tyrion either, they made up a completely new plotline for him.

Wat? Do you even understand what you're saying, here? Do you still remember the context? It was about whether the TV show needed to make up new plotlines for the book characters yet or not, then gallog claimed they had to because they'd caught up with the books... which they haven't, so they didn't need to do that.

You must have a hard on for being right all the time. Like dood, chill the fuck out.

It's not my fault I'm right all the time, brah. Maybe people shouldn't interject with their "akshelly this is how it is" if they're wrong and don't know what they're talking about.

Interesting I didn't know people could interject in an open forum. But yeah, you right.

Really, where do you think people usually interject, then? In closed forums? Are normal conversations not open? Have you never heard of, or thought about, the word "interject" being used when someone, I don't know, interjects in a conversation that, by all appearances, is open? Follow up question, are you autistic?

Yes I actually am autistic, see I always thought two people nerd raging over the internet was a closed forum so I guess you can I understand my perceived confusion. OR maybe interject is when the person assumes they're right and just starts spouting random ideals to prove their point, oh wait, I'm just an autist so I don't know anything about the English language. Have you ever heard of the word "interject" being used in a negative connotation, or have you heard of the words reply, respond, or rejoin?

[Xant]

Yes I actually am autistic

OK, that makes sense and explains it, no further questions.

It caught up with The Hound even though it wasn't Brienne that killed him, he died from wounds he got in that tavern fight with his brothers men. You only learn of his actual death thru a hermit priest that Brianne and Podrick traveled with for a bit.

[Xant]

Yes, obviously the show has caught up with dead characters, I thought that much was obvious. I don't see how that's relevant to the discussion either.
