I read Lord of the Rings about a billion times. Too bad Martin never read it

No lie. It took forever for the 5th book to come out, and the TV series should be twice as long for each book....

I think they've done a pretty good job of editing and script writing for the series.
Books 4 and 5 in particular had Way Too Many characters, and didn't advance the story much. Martin says he's not going to introduce anymore POV characters. I hope he narrows the set of the ones he has already.

He has a tendency of narrowing the field in some very permanent ways..........

Fuzzy bears!
I already went through that with Robert Jordan. Admittedly, Jordan had a disease which led to his death, and he prepared for it by getting as many outlines and notes/dictation done as he could for the author that followed, but it was still annoying, in a very tragic way, that the series wasn't completed by the original author.
While I am unaware of any such issues with Martin, the man is NOT young.

2 seasons of the show complete, and I'm STILL unconvinced I'd enjoy it if I hadn't read the books. It often seems to me that they are forced to shorten or skip too much, and it ends up leaving the characters too thin. If I hadn't read the books, would I really understand at all why they do many of the things they do?
As far as too many characters, and specifically PoV characters, in the books....yeah, he went a bit overboard. Still, I continue to love the series, and I read them fast enough that the many characters don't usually get confusing.

I tuned in to Game Of Thrones somewhere in the middle of Season Two. Because of my late arrival I was totally confused by everything I'd seen and so I dismissed the series as pointless childish fantasy. But all the positive attention and commentary this series received caused me to look more closely, so I went to HBO-GO, started Season Two from the beginning, and soon came to enjoy it.
Game Of Thrones is a well-made, thoroughly enjoyable series and I look forward to the beginning of Season Three tomorrow night. HBO showed a brief preview tonight and the cello stacatto theme music was a very welcome sound.

But i want moooooore.................
I did the same thing.
It looks like there is a set up for Joffrey to change his ways and Margery to bring out his gentler side AND cause a major rift between Joffrey and Cercei. Clearly his loyalties are beginning to shift. Cat fight between Margery and Cercei.

I don't get it, why do people hate Sansa?
Sure she was a bit snobby at first, but now when she figured out what's what I think she's quite a likable character.
