And I always rather see an armor or a dinner table on the screen instead of reading a 4 page mind-boggling boring description of it. Also, the show is going to be finished At the other hand, the show devolved into something that barely has a story, and the little it has seems to have being written by a 12 years old Everything is terrible

i never got how the books became popular, i tried reading them and the writing is very not good. like i've said before joe abercrombie is better at both the writing bit and the crafting stories bit.

well, let's not be hyperbolic. the books have good world-building and, while the writing isn't great, the story is satisfactory up through storm of swords. a feast for crows and a dance with dragons is where the story starts to lose its momentum and grrm starts piling on the archaic fantasy slang.

Hopping around into all the different characters heads is an extremely effective technique when combined with the setting and power struggles.

Groovelord Neato posted:i never got how the books became popular I think it was mostly a money laundering scheme in the beginning. They got really big after celebrities like Tom Cruise started endorsing them and hipster got into them "ironically". Seriosuly, the books are utter garbage and some of the worst poo poo I've ever read, on par with Mein Kampf

How can you portray Glokta with out hearing his thoughts?

the question is kind of silly because people tend to be super bummed when something good/great gets lovely. nobody cares about the final episode of seinfeld or the sopranos being lame if the shows weren't great before that. same with say a book series that started promising and then had two books where nothing happens.

And of course, mixed in there are people that think AFFC and ADWD were perfect and any deviation, no matter how much it's near-universally praised by viewers, spurs anger.

I wonder if the series is going to have some kind of Oedipus Rex ending when Jon and Dany, neither of whom have shown any inclination towards incest, discover they're related. According to the spoilers they'll have slept together by the end of this season with Jon still not knowing he's a Targ.

Nobody ever finds out about Jon. Series just sort of ends without it mattering.

That's not what made him great, which is kind of a great statement in and of itself. You don't have to know you come from a great lineage to accomplish great things, titles and knighthood are a lie, etc.

Unless the season 8 cold open is everyone in Winterfell dying right before Jon and Dany get there. I guess it's not impossible given that the Wall comes down at the end this season but in general I really doubt someone won't tell him.

Ned was an honorable man, he only cheated on Cat while in Ghost's body, that is why Jon is half targ.
