Can someone clear this up for me?
Does Ser Criston Cole really die like that in the books? It felt like the show sidelined him this season, and for someone who was one of the most important characters early on, his death came and went surprisingly fast.
Is that how George R.R. Martin wrote it, or did the show change things?..And if it was changed, do you think it was simply an adaptation choice, or could there have been some behind-the-scenes reason they wrapped up his story so quickly?
I’m very disappointed that Emily Wilson falls into the trap so many fans of a written work fall into: judging the adaptation for what they wish it were rather than for what it is. At no point does she try to understand the intentions of Nolan, she’s just frustrated that she didn’t get the adaptation she had imagined.
