Reply to comment by OrangeinDorne in People give George R.R. Martin grief for the delay of "The Winds of Winter," but imagine trying to write a continuation of your series after HBO already wrote their own ending to it... by SAT0725

Yeah, it could've had more steamy underage rape-turned-enjoyment scenes, like the books!

Uh... wait... erm...

In all seriousness, there was a lot of weird cruft the series cut out from the books for the better. They streamlined certain plot points, cut some of the redundant character bloat, and steered clear of some of the more questionable content Martin shoehorned in there (presumably for "gritty" shock value) that didn't really serve much of a purpose anyway.
