OT: Winter Is Coming | Game of Thrones Discussion Thread

I've been watching the previous weeks right before the new episode every week. Helps refresh the mind.

it looks like they are deviating in several ways, i won't go into specifics. now personally, i don't have a problem with it, and i heard an interesting perspective somewhere, a book reader wrote that them deviating from the books actually makes it more interesting, since we really are not sure exactly what is going to come next.

so just be aware when you get to certain parts of the book.


i really like what they have been doing. i'm pretty sure that most people who hadn't read the books really didn't think much of mel, maybe thinking she's just a trussed up whore in red, but that was pretty spectacular.


i will have to watch it again. i have been trying to watch every episode at least twice this year, and i think it has really been a good decision. pick up so much on the second viewing when you're not just trying to keep up.

They are definately deviating in many ways, but I also don't have a problem with it. I have no doubt that all the main plot points will be there, but that they may take some different routes to get to them. It's a different medium, and a lot of the things that work in books simply do not work on the screen. I think they are doing a good job. I'm glad I'm not the only sane one, johnny!

Just read an early chapter from a Feast for Crows and goddamn Kevan Lannister just rocketed up my fave character rankings.

I took a little break after Storm of Swords, but I guess I should start it up again. I remember hating Jaime after watching the show and now he's one of my favorites.

that last episode was badly edited to me. while it had great scenes of Tyrion all others were just too short and not enough balance. they need to either spread out the series a little more for each sub-story in the main story. and what the fuck was that at the end....

that women is batshit crazy

i'm pretty much reading right along with the series, if that could be done.. so far the only thing i've really noticed is that a lot of things are out of order, not that it matters since they're all happening around the same time anyway

[SLY]

Nice!

George Bush > Obama

'Nuff said.

 

[SLY]

Can't wait for 9pm. It's all I have to look forward to now.

 

[elocomotive]

LOL! That was brilliant.

I can't believe somebody just connected Robb to Obama. I am all kinds of pissed about that. LOL

I know exactly what you mean. I snickered loudly when I read that one particular line.

It is strange. Chuck Robb was dead before Obama was even in the Senate.

Ummm, he'll be alarmed to hear that. Chuck Robb is alive!

Whoever made that was either a liberal or Democrat. Easy enough to see the bias.
