Liam Emsa posted:Assuming you guys have heard it already: Game of Thrones Creators Confirm the Show Will Spoil the Books I'm sure there are people out there that will actually be mad about this, but I'll echo what someone else posted earlier: people in the book barn never actually thought the books would be finished before the series, and are actually looking forward to getting new info on the story from the show. I know I am, because I don't really want to sit around and wait to find out about the story from GRRM himself; he takes far too long and his prose is kinda . . . iffy. I know there are a lot of trolls that just say: "LOL, just read a book idiot" when show watchers get spoiled. I've never really been one of those people, and personally, I've started telling people not to bother with the books at this point. There are so many better pieces of literature out there that you could spend your time with, and still get the same basic story from the show.

BillBear posted:S5 is going to likely be the least faithful season yet but at the same time it's looking likely to be the best one yet too, D&D are fairly capable guys mostly and I think they can carry this series to the end. . . . kinda. When they've invented scenes based off of material, it's been gold. Creating stuff whole cloth has been pretty terrible though, but that might just be my own tastes.

BillBear posted:D&D are awesome when they just have characters talking/insulting each other but when they try going beyond that they usually start to fail. Yup. It gets real dicey.

Clevermuldoon posted:Any examples of stuff they made up? I'm curious now. Caveat: Don't search this stuff on google, I bet there are spoilers everywhere. The two big ones that stood out were: Yara's Magical Boat adventure to save Theon. Also, Carl Tanner, the legend of Gin Alley, along with the entire storyline with Jon going back to Craster's to eliminate the mutinous brothers. This was mostly invented to pad out the story at the Wall, so that the big battle at Castle Black could happen in episode 9. The story with the mutineers is wildly different in the books, but I'm not going to get into that.

Ballz posted:So we're still a couple of weeks out, but I just wanted to talk for a moment about the new thread. I can make the first episode thread unless someone else has a burning desire to, but starting in late April/early May I'm going to be moving so my Internet presence will be sporadic at best during that time. Someone else would have to take over episode duties for a while. FYI, I'm down with being one of the "Can answer questions" people again.
