oh right there were leaks THAT'S why there's a spoiler thread after the books have been made obsolete

A lot of people in the other thread are big blubbery babies if you mention this show is based on some books, so this thread is for book readers to discuss the show without giving anyone a conniption over there. Some people itt avoid the show spoilers still

Did they ever pronounce R'hllor's name in the show or has it always been called The Lord of Light? I just realised that I want to hear how you pronounce a stupid name like R'hllor

I will never understand where this goon line that books 4&5 are garbage came from, they're great books just like the first three :shrug:

The show is where the massive drop off after 3 happens

you probably don't read much.


I don't read much fantasy, you're right there. Long metro rides to work have me chewing through a book a week though, rear end in a top hat.

It's based on the champions in the Hedge Knight, which are in order a Baratheon, Tyrell, Lannister, Hardyng, Targerayan.

I think it's pretty stupid because Joffrey is actually a Lannister and Sansa was never betrothed to a Tyrell.

A marriage to the crippled Tyrell brother back at Highgarden was proposed for her, so Tyrell fits the theory just as well as Hardyng does.

Not that that's saying much.

Littlefinger has a marriage contract for the Hardyng marriage, the Tyrell one never got further than "let's visit my parents, maybe you and my brother could marry".

That's what happened in the show. It was more of a set thing in the books
