Comedy!

I assumed that was a possibility. If nothing else, her daughter knows that can be the case.

Man though, spoilers! lol, I know people read the books but many haven't and are taking the tv show as its own entity. Lets us find out as we find out. Just a general thing..not you particularly.

it's a new style of writing that's been developed over the past 10-15 years

The Ent would have kicked all their naked butts

The HBO series is pretty bad ass. I mean, they just stabbed a pregnant lady in the stomach on TV? That is some gangsta shit, and HBO will always push the envelope.

As for Martin and the book, people are rightfully concerned as to whether he will even live to complete the series. He's 65 and morbidly obese. Considering it takes him 3-5 years to write a book, there is a very real possibility that "the game" won't even be done before he dies. I wonder if he already has a writer penned if he dies.

As for the storyline, it is great, and it isn't all that complicated if you are a student of history. Martin is good, but he shamelessly steals from history, i.e., the War of the Roses. I mean, ever major event is basically a real life event that happen during the War of Roses, with slight variations. The princes in the tower, bastard kids trying to take the throne, and even the red wedding are all events that occurred during the War of Roses. Martin isn't really a "visionary" in that he simply converted Norman/British/Irish history into fiction (and added some dragons). I still enjoy the series though.

Daenarys is gonna win the throne IMHO -- Dragons FTW (only people who know are HBO and Martin). I think Stannis is gonna be close (he's my second favorite character, though he's pussy whipped). I also think Tyrion (my favorite) is gonna end up ruling Casterly Rock someday, which would rock.

And can't wait for Stoneheart. Be afraid. Be very afraid....

To bad Robert Baratheon got fat and died from a boar wound. He was a bad ass when he was young (against Rhaegar with his warhammer)

awesome episode!

I actually enjoyed the latest book (Dance with Dragons). It deals a lot with the Dragon lady and there are a couple nice twists in there I'd love to see on the TV show. I also predict the Dragons are going to rule again, with the help of Tyrion. Stannis and the Red Witch versus the Dragons would also make for an interesting battle.

I'm sure he must at least have a storyboard made up for the last 2 books, probably just a case of filling in all the little details and making it more dramatic. I don't expect to see a new book for another few years though, he seems like a perfectionist and I don't think he minds keeping people waiting. It might end up the last 2 books come out as a movie though (I don't think the TV series will last that much longer, unfortunately).

Had to wait for iTunes to make it available here, even a few hours was too long, Twitter and the whole web went beserk.

I've read the books, the last two are rather awful and I'm not sure I want to invest any more time in them unless I know things improve.

Fitty Fuckin Game of Thrones :Graucho

I thought it was a pretty awesome episode actually :2 cents:

Freaking crazy... not reading the books but loving the series!!!

Did not see this one coming at all :)

Watched it last night, didn't see that coming at all. There is way to many stories going on now, its going to get boring...The whole thing was built on vengeance for ned stark... now you got 1 bastard son thats on the run, one son going fuck knows and 1 on some quest and now has super powers to control animals and people while being a cripple. 1 daughter married to a midget in love with his wifes maid and no idea what will happen to the daughter now i was so routing for her to get back to rob and her mum :( then i was routing for her to save the wolfe...again disappointed

Midget didn't even make it in last night episode.

I can see it going down hill fast from now on which is a shame.

I haven´t watched any of them yet, should I book it or just get stuck in with the series?

Pretty shitty move dude for the people that havn't read the books.

Just join the herd and watch the series. You'll be hooked. :thumbsup

Spoiler Alert via Masie Williams (who plays Arya Starks) on GoT:

ADG

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh and awesome show.

I've read the books as well and enjoyed dropping hints to my mates about the death of Rob Stark.

Will be interesting to see how they do the next couple of books since they wander for sure.

And there is no ending yet - anyone know when the next book is due out?

I agree. I enjoyed but hated at the same time the first 3 and quit reading after the red wedding. What character was I supposed to care about that wasn't busy doing out of character things as clumsy plot devices.

Overall, not a very good writer. At the same time, some very good points shine through.

Another problem the series is going to have are the young people in the story.

In the book...Rob Stark for instance is 15 years old. And he's the OLDEST of the bunch.

Obviously the series couldn't show a bunch of pubescent children having sex and so forth (the way it is in the books) because modern day society doesn't work like that.

So they got some "of age" actors to play the older Stark brothers...and some kids to play the other siblings.

But now...a few years have gone by in "real life". But in the storyline it's only a few months that have went by on the series.

And the "kids" are growing up FAST. Arya will have tits by next season! And young Bran is on the verge of growing a mustache! In the storyline...only a few months have passed...but Arya went from being a tiny, cute little girl to being a teenager in a matter of days! lol

If I were them I'd film the next 10 seasons NOW before the actors get any older.

What are they going to do with a bunch of grown up people playing the parts of small children (like Arya and Bran) if the series goes on another 3 or 4 years?

Stop posting spoilers you fucking douchebag :mad: THIS IS A FUCKING TELEVISION SHOW THREAD.

That's the mistake most people make. They get focused one one character, and then get upset when he/she dies. There is NO HERO in the story. Ned Stark was not a main character. He's a character whose death served as a catalyst for the entire series of books.

His death in not some choice to just kill off a character.

Yes, what a surprise. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by anything. That show is awesome. I thought it was going to be a slow episode, but then... BAM.

The dragon chick will own them all! My bets are on her!

Each character is the main character... from their own point of view. Just the way the real world works where whoever is reading this thinks they are the protagonist and the story is all about them. :2 cents:

It was expected two series before :2 cents:

They killed Dumbledore

Sorry to piss in your cheerios, but I didn't post any spoilers. I made a couple of predictions that haven't happened on the TV show or in the books. That's why I said 'I predict.' Next time get your facts straight or learn to read before calling me a douchebag, you troll.

your purdy mam :)

Great show and I love it - but the producers are fucking up letting the writer have free reign over the script - what makes a great book doesn't always make a great movie.

expect the unexpected, can't even think about what can come up next.
should of read the books

Thank you, by far the nicest thing said about me here.. Last time someone said something about my looks was something along the lines of mentally challenged :1orglaugh

I am currently on fourth book, and if jon snow dies as well... I am done with G.O.T.

I dislike his character. I really do.

I like Tyrion Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen.

I haven't read the books, and the show is more or less OK. This entire scene was too rough, needless-to-show violence was fucking overdosed... Showing a pregnant chick getting stabbed in the stomach multiple times on TV is a NO-NO!!!!! :( So SCREW the producer and the director BIG TIME. Totally pointless... I have no problems w blood, cutting throats, squirting blood, etc [I love Tarantino anyway ;)] but no one ever can convince me it was necessary to kill that poor preggo THIS WAY... I dont fucking care what was in the book, but bringing this to TV was a huge mistake imo... This is way too tough for a ~'mainstream' TV show.. I am 34 and it shocked me.. what if 15-18 aged 'kids' especially girls see this? Crazzzzyyyy.... :(

Two series before? Are there 2 other GOT series I missed? Or do you mean episodes? Not everyone has read the books or has your natural power of divination, Kreskin.

Hey remember Bonanza, Lorne Green was 50 and his sons were all in their forties. lol I just started reading the first book and it did strike me how much younger everyone is and alot less sex than the TV show. What book should I go up to before he jumps the shark?
I can see if it keeps going on how they start to lose their focus. The whole beginning middle and end gets lost.
