He was the main character of season 1, yeah I can tell he isn't the main character of the book and now show as a whole but he was a main character. I'm not really complaining about it though.
I guess I should have worded what I said better. I'm very aware that most producers/directors who get ahold of stories tend almost always to fuck them up. I'm just saying, it doesn't hurt to make a few changes. Again, like the Dixon brothers in the Walking Dead for the best example. It worked out. I can't imagine what the show would be without them.
