The books IMHO. arent that great, and are in fact kind of poorly written but that's just my preference. So I really dont mind the changes and when I hear about how the book was originally I always feel like Alan did it better. But then as a rule I prefer film mediums to Book ones. It's a much more sensory type medium. You use actors, lighting, costumes, sounds, music, cameras and important shots and it all has to work to pull you into this world. With books you just got the words. which makes them actually ten times more difficult to pull off right. and few authors really do it so well that you can get sucked in fully and it's more taxing on the mind. So when I sit down and read something, it's gotta be really fucking awesome. Charlaine harris's books I'm afraid to say were not :(

S3 could have been SO much better. That's what keeps bugging me about it cause it did do some stuff right but it did so many other things wrong. It just feels a terrible waste.
