As the show gets further into the source material, and as
the books continue to be released at George R. R. Martin’s glacial pace, the
producers’ approach to adaptation is going to get interesting. We saw more
evidence of that with the fourth season premiere, in which I would guess at
least one-third of the scenes were created entirely for the show -- meaning they
never took place in the books at all -- or were significantly altered due to
omitted book story arcs or a rearranging of characters/timelines.
