I think that the first season is on par or possibly better than the first book but the second one and particularly the third one really can't compare. All the idiots in the babby thread going "The prose is bad  , might as well enjoy a botched version of the story without all the BAD PROSE" are mental children.

I honestly thought we were going to get something cool at the end of the episode. Instead we got Dany talking to slaves. HBO and GRRM just trolled me. I am the summer child. You gotta be shittin' me (dany pun) edit: just saw this exchange on facebook quote:Screw it I'm buying the books Reply 2: Way too many books and a lot of chapters! Just have to wait till next season. (Hated this last episode) quote:I know and I hate reading. But tonight pissed me off. Don't go from Ned dying, to dragons to a check crowd surfing we get it people like her. I hope Joffery kills her in the first episode! Sorry I'm a little salty. Fresh salty tears are delicious Voodoo fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Jun 10, 2013 |

I wonder how many chapters GRRM will finish between now and the season 4 debut. He can along do the press circuit so long with this much hype and marketing before people really start to turn against him. If he shows up on Conan in 2014 still talking about TWoW being 1500 pages I'm pretty sure he'll just get angry stares.

You know, it occurs to me there really is no effective way for the show to show how Freys start dying left and right after the Red Wedding other then some character outright stating "Its unusual, since the Red Wedding over a dozen of Walder's family have mysteriously died." And forget the 3 meat pies:3 Freys scene, that's too much "subtext" for the TV crowd.

that's actually some pretty sloppy knife work - I think that baby is protecting her vital organs. I mean would it have killed that frey to put one in her chest for good measure?

I know this post doesn't go in the telly thread and it probably goes best in the spoiler thread but drat. It's ok to talk about the show in here, it's not like there will ever be another book to discuss. I liked the episode a lot and thought Dany's crowdsurfing and the dick in the box was pretty baller. I like that Sansa and Tyrion get to have a rapport, that's sweet. Sansa only has that one thing she does in the books where she gets tormented and then someone gives her hope and then she gets tormented again. They've given Sansa all kinds of allies and buddies and it seems like she's actually doing something instead of just being a ball that's passed around by various sadistic and untrustworthy fuckers. I'm disappointed that we don't get to see what kind of  speculation the babbies would've driven themselves to in the hiatus had ZomCat made an appearance.

They could end an episode with it. Oh oh oooowait or they could be playing the rains o castamere the whole time, and the LAST GUY TO DIE is the harper playing the music, cut off mid lyric, his lute crashing to the ground and lady stonetits laughing through her throathole.

The tv thread is loving funny with those spoiler avs. Instead of just playing it off while it's quietly dealt with, about 4 jackasses show up with sirens in their posts warning of "100% true spoilers, if you've seen an av with red text, it was a spoiler, you've been spoiled. It was not fake. Turn avs off btw".

Besides, we got Robb Wind and more Walder/Roose hilarity, and isn't that what really matters? If they're going to do Stoneheart, it needs to be at the end of the next season. Joff is dead, Sansa's fled, Tyrion kills Tywin, all hell is breaking loose in King's Landing... The very last scene is in the Riverlands, bizarrely serene and completely unrelated to anything as two Frey boys try to deliver a ransom. And then Michelle Fairley out of loving nowhere, zombied-up, with Frankenstein stitches on her throat, the final shot of the season her glaring up and out at the camera with red eyes of pure hate as she watches the two Freys hang.

Oh of course. Speaking of which I wonder if Season 6 or whatever Season ADWD is filmed in will just consist of everyone anally fisting each other while the POV character spouts exposition... That may or may not have made ADWD a more enjoyable book. Urdnot Fire posted:The actor was nine and ten when he was announced for the role, so it's safe to say Pod was aged up like the rest of the children, especially Dany. Fun fact, his actor is the son of Ser Rodrik's actor. I still say it's gurmy because Pod's 12 in the books, but I guess since the actor is 19, that's hardly the gurmiest thing to come out of this show.

I just got to the part of Sophia's intellectual thread for smart geniuses where the Mensa grad students of posting are suggesting that Jon Snow being shot in the leg with an arrow is a reference to Skyrim. I can't possibly muster an exasperated sigh deep enough to express how much I hate video game people.
