re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

Definitely agree with what you and ffishstick are saying. I think they are almost pandering too much to the "Hodor fan favorite" characters like Dany, when in reality, Dany has way less chapters than Jon does in the books.

I think the show writers and directors have barely shown Jon's interactions with the Wildlings and that he got along well with Tormund, for instance.

Isn't ASoS the whole setup point to show that eventually the Wildlings and Night's Watch will have to unite against the true enemy of The Others? I feel like the show has done a poor job with that. Especially if the Hodors are to believe that Jon is mature enough and capable of being Lord Commander when the time comes.

I really hope they'll showcase the Wall story heavily next season with Stannis and Jon and make the Podrick Tyrion Dany scenes less in amount.

Definitely agree with the HotU scene being way better in ACOK. Much better symbolism and foreshadowing. It makes me think that David and Dan brought Jason back for their own personal reasons because they're all buds or whatever.

I understand that with many shows, the writers tend to deviate from the book material as the series goes on, but why frick up the awesomeness of ASoS?? Because Jon isn't Dany's dragons or Tyrion? So dumb and it pisses me off, especially since Jon's storyline gets better than Dany and Tyrion as the series goes on/as of the last book.

Jon is one of the most important characters and the show has done a mediocre job at developing him. They should've left the scene with him and Mance as the book had it with him not attending the king arrival because he was a bastard reason and the going home scene was lame too.
