I'd also assume they needed a stronger actor. Not that Tommen had to do any real heavy lifting this season, he might later on and the original actor just wasn't up to snuff.

I forgot how dirty they did Ned
. I need Cersei to die two weeks ago by Aryas hand just for letting it get to this point. Sansa sucks too I forgot how much she sucked in season one. She should die too just for being annoying.
Had to Google Myrcella, do not care at all about that recast

This. Myrcella was just a child. If they go to dorne and need a real actor..that's could be a reason for recasting

Ruining the show isn't worth it for me.. also gotta keep in mind that George RR Martin may never actually finish the books, or could take years and years before the next one.
People keep saying they're great but I'm not convinced that reading those long*** books is gonna be worth it in the end. Would rather just stick to watching the show when it comes out

I finished book 5 a few months before the season 4 started. I get some who wouldn't want to read ahead and know how the show might be layed out or build up scenes in your head and when they don't happen beat by beat you can nitpick stuff to death. I really didn't mind knowing ahead of time and really enjoyed having both the books and show to tie the universe together. The show has changed some stuff enough keep me on my toes and just seeing the characters act stuff out gets me hyped. The books are great for the POV since that inner monologue details what each character is thinking/feeling. Give book 1 a shot and if you like it read through book 3. That'll bring you to the red wedding, purple wedding and tryions stuff.

IMO it would be easier to start from the beginning. Season 1 and Book 1 are almost spot on and its also the shortest book. Season 4 that just ended was pulling stuff from books 3, 4 and even 5. For example red wedding/joffrey/tyrion was book 3, Brienne stuff was book 4, Theon is book 5, Dany is book 3/5, Bran is book 5. If you wanted to stay more or less spoiler free for the show I'd recommend reading 1-3 and stopping then maybe hitting up 4 after next season.

For me the books are something I know I'll get enjoyment out of whenever I get to them. Whether that's 2 or 10 years from now.
I decided not to start reading the books a couple years ago after season 1/2 because the material from the show was still so fresh in my mind and I thought it might make the show less enjoyable.
Will read the books after the show is completed.

I've been reading the books since last year. I'm midway through book three and going at a pace that won't let me get past the show. Reading the book after watching the show is like experiencing those moments for the first time twice somehow.
If I were to read ahead, I feel like that would take away from the show for me. So many book readers are so frequently disappointed in the shows interpretation/changes from the book.
