And this is what I am so afraid in ASOIF's case - in any adaptation (unless they make a really long one) they will have to get rid of many secondary characters and so many of them I love dearly!
*nods* Also I'm afraid that an adaption will not be able to convey the mood of the books. Now LOTR was successfully conveyed both in story and mood, but that book had decades of fan-material like paintings and previous adaptions to build upon. In many ways all these previous LOTR adaptions had cleared away all the "bugs in the system" so to speak - and left Peter Jackson and co with something to build upon. ASOIAF doesn't have this to the same degree - and therefore I worry.
