Agree to disagree then because I think you've got it backwards.

Your opinion will matter when you've read the entire books and realised GRRM doesn't write all the episodes.

I'm not making that assertion. I'm well aware he doesn't write all the episodes. I thought you just didn't get good narrative; I thought it stemmed from a want of superiority - but now I'm wondering about reading comprehension levels.

At no point did I say Martin wrote the TV series. If he did, I wouldn't love the show nearly as much.

Your reading comprehension levels seem to be the faulty ones, obviously Martin knows how to do narrative, but that hardly translates to television well and D&D don't exactly write the series as it should be written, I'd have expected you to pick up on the subtle nuances of characterisation that are lost in translation but I can't really expect someone who think the Great Gatsby is the best American novel to really /get/ good fiction

Who'd ever listen to a fan girl, I don't know, but if you're suggesting (and you are) that Gatsby is less well written than Game of Thrones or Feast of Crows, you're out of your mind.
