I stopped reading those forums because the book readers on that site can't seem to separate the show from the books and whine that the show is crap.


It's been so long since I've read the books that I think I enjoy the show more because I've forgotten so much of the books

Likewise. The show is better than the books IMO for several reasons:
1. The show writers had the decided advantage of improving on the obvious weaknesses in the books.
2. The show writers seem to be better writers, more creative, etc. and are writing for a TV audience.
3. The biggest disadvantage for the show writers is time/length/detail constraints but this in my mind has has actually been a net positive in their ability to consolidate the details into meaningful moments. The books really drag in Feast of Crows and become down right boring.
