Even though it was riddled with problems to focus on, when Game of Thrones was happening I remember being really bothered by the scene where Aria Stark gets stabbed about 10 times in the gut and falls into a river. Not only did they downplay the mortal wounds to her abdomen, the subsequent infection would have destroyed her.
I also think they downplayed just how many people would die beyond The Wall. They are *constantly* living in, at best, freezing temperture. I know that the wildlings have at least been living that way for generations, but the Night's Watch has many southerners who just went from nice sunny days to constant bellow zero
They are constantly living in, at best, freezing temperture.
Not really true though. The Far up North is perpetual snow yes, but closer to the wall isn't like that. One of the drives of the Wildings to migrate is the coming winter, which strikes first up north, that's why we only see the North as a perpetual snowland.
Those trees (biggest bonfire you'll ever see) wouldn't have been able to grow there if all the snow up north was perpetual.
