ส่วนอันนี้ จากรีวิวของ Alan Sepinwall ซึ่งไม่ได้อ่านหนังสือ ซึ่งเขาสงสัยว่า ถ้าไม่ได้อ่านหนังสือมา จะสามารถเอ็นจอยได้เหมือนกับคนที่อ่านหนังสือรึเปล่า เพราะมีหลายจุดที่เขาพลาดไป
Though last week's "Blackwater" was a creative high point for the series, it was also the first time I really felt at a disadvantage for not having read the books. I loved the intensity and grandeur that hour, loved many individual moments like Bronn taking out a chunk of Stannis' fleet with a single arrow, or Tyrion convincing himself along with his troops while delivering that speech. Yet after the fact I realized I had missed a lot of crucial things: that the Hound quit the fight because of his fear of fire, that Stannis was being dragged away by his own men and not taken prisoner, that it was one of the Kingsguard who slashed Tyrion's face, and that it was Loras Tyrell (wearing Renly's armor, apparently) and not Lancel Lannister entering the throne room after the victory. Many of those things became clear on a second view, and/or after discussion with other viewers the Hound's problems with fire are hinted at, for instance, when he threatens to kill an archer if a flaming arrow lands anywhere near him but in the moment, so much was happening in the dark that I couldn't keep up with it all.
And in "Valar Morghulis," some of that confusion continued. Because I hadn't entirely followed the disposition of Stannis last week, I spent much of the Stannis/Melisandre scene wondering if it was some kind of magical conversation he was having while rotting in a King's Landing dungeon. And the show completely fell down on the job in terms of explaining what happened to Winterfell in between when Finchy cold-cocked Theon and when Osha and Hodor brought the kids up from the tunnels. Where exactly was that 500-strong force of friendly bannermen, who could have escorted the boys safely to their brother and mother?
That's a rhetorical question, by the way. If it's explained better in the books, I don't want to hear about it. One of the reasons I'm so militant about book spoilers is because of my belief that if you can't understand "Game of Thrones" without constant annotations from people who have read the books, then it has failed as a television show. There were a few instances here and there in the first season where I felt Benioff and Weiss did a poor job of letting newbies in on a key piece of information (that Theon was a well-kept hostage of the Starks, for instance), but for the most part, I could track it all. But as the scope of the series has expanded this season to include more characters, more locations, more kings, I'm starting to wonder if it's impossible to fully appreciate and enjoy all that's happening without that book knowledge. And I imagine that's only going to get trickier as the series moves along.
