Compared to most modern fantasy Game of Thrones really does its own thing. There's plenty to complain about the show without taking issue with the way Robert Baratheon speaks, though. Cersei is supposed to be attractive enough to beguile the court but the woman they chose is kind of sallow and angry looking. A big fat pervert though GRRM is, the show throws in a LOT more random boobage and does this ridiculous thing where it will just cut to two whores practicing sex shrieking several times. It makes me want to smack the two weaselly producers.
The second season ended on an incomprehensible note that no one save those who'd read the books can understand. Joffrey is supposed to be a fat-lipped goldilocks of sorts, but instead he has this retarded buzzcut that makes the show feel like an ill-prepared play. They got some really, really skinny man to play Gregor Clegane in S2. He was no mountain, he was a man made hill placed over a garbage dump.
So far the only thing show has gotten right is Jon, Varys and Jorah Mormont. I'm on the 4th book now and each chapter just reveals another little potential fuckup for the show to make.
