My complaints aren't solely based on the idea that "it's not exactly like the books." This season as a whole has seriously deviated from the books, and I've been pretty fine with that. I personally felt that A Clash of Kings was a little slow at times, and the series has tried to liven it up.

I was a little confused by that. Aren't the Others supposed to be black skinned, while the wights are pale, reanimated corpses?
