Martin’s books to r http://www.vox.com/2016/4/29/1153039...ks-dorne-sucks There were two Season 6 premiere scenes that rang false that wouldn’t have happened in Martin’s books, says Andrew Prokop. Brienne’s action sequence, for instance, used Hollywood action tropes while Martin’s books are all about subverting tropes. The Dorne storyline is also problematic because the characters are far more compelling in the books than on the TV show. PLUS: Isaac Hempstead-Wright teases Bran’s return on Sunday, why Jon Snow is dead — even if he lives again, a GoT fan tried to bribe Sophie Turner with cake, Jonathan Pryce explains High Sparrow’s connection to Pope Francis, why has the Dorne storyline been so terrible?, Jon Snow blood theory is terrible, and GoT seems to be in love with violence — unlike the books.
