Has anybody been watching Game of Thrones, of is reading the books? I started reading the series early this fall and am about halfway through the 4th book now. I don't know what I will do when I finish the 5th one, I hope GRRM doesn't take too long to finish Winds Of Winter.
Apparently they finished filming Season 2 (based on book 2, A Clash of Kings). It will start on the 15th.
If you haven't seen the show and have any remote interest in fantasy or political stories, I would highly recommend it. People who are dumb will compare it to lord of the rings because they are dumb, but it is more like a low fantasy political drama.
If you are going to talk about stuff that happens in the show, use spoiler tags and indicate if it is from the show or whichever book.
No one?!?
yeah I love this show! I hope the second will be as great as the first. I havent read the books though. but I'm sure I will someday
Just don't make the mistake of skipping the first book because you have seen the show. I read the first book right after seeing the first season and still loved it.

I dont think I'll read them for some years to come. I still have lots of other books to read first. but yeah I wont make that mistake

Most of it is low fantasy, like dudes with swords hitting each other. Probably like 1/10th of the chapters in the book have any hint of magical stuff in them.

season 2 starts on the first noob
Yeah it's quite good, had the books before the show started though, and I recently brought the latest volume of which i'm about a quarter of the way through.
Brace yourself...
Another nerd thread is coming.
Seriously though Game of Thrones is goddamn awesome. I recommended this show to Greyclock but he is to much of a dick to watch it.
Also Carice van Houten.

Actually if I was able to pick, I would have made Tywin king, and then Stannis for 2nd place.

book 2 spoiler
he sacrifices/exposes them in the wild

he doesnt marry those he just fucks them obviously
Quote from: AstronautClock;1902950he doesnt marry those he just fucks them obviously
To Craster, they are all his wives.
Joffrey is a sick fuck.
Bron, Rob, Tyron and those huge wolfs are still awesome though.
So im reading Book One in between trying not to fail school and just be done and graduated, so I have no idea what that vagina smoke monster was about
I have a huge problem with how they cast Asha or however they renamed her (yes they renamed her too!).
ALL MY NERD RAGE
Quote from: PatriotClock;1904766So im reading Book One in between trying not to fail school and just be done and graduated, so I have no idea what that vagina smoke monster was about
yeah that was weird. I looked it up and apparently its a shadow assassin, which is exactly as lame as it sounds.
It reminded me of those shadow dudes from Fable 3.
My friends have been shitting their pants about this show the last while, so I decided to check it out. Nearly finished Season 1, and I gotta say, this show is absolutely fantastic.
I was pretty sad when Ned died, but honestly, I saw it coming. Being portrayed by Sean Bean 'n' all.
im ready for Blackwater. Are you?
Quote from: PatriotClock;1908280im ready for Blackwater. Are you?
Truth be told I haven't been watching, I really just have no desire too. I watched SE1 and then read all the books, and it feels like the show is just a clunky recap now. I might watch Blackwater though, They better not cut out Tyrion fighting again. When the cut his second battle scene (and diluted his first battle scene) they really changed how people perceived the character. If they do it again I'll be upset.
Nice avatar btw, they did an amazing job casting Davos.
Im like 200 pages through the 3rd book, im pretty pissed atm that im studying population and policy issues instead of continuing reading. bummer

I just started the first book (allready watched the series hallfway troughout the second season but hoping to catch up)
I read the books from the soldiers on whom's stories the "pacific" series was based and I think i enjoyed the series much more because it constantly refered to these (more detailed) accounts.
Also I feel like stating that i like how carefully the game of thrones universe seems crafted, sounds and feel really authentic (with some added fantasy of course but gladly it fits in instead of spoiling it)
Season 3 casting notes spoilers i guess, but not really since it doesnt spoil anyone just lists people and brief descriptions (http://winteriscoming.net/2012/05/ew-scoop-on-s3-the-reeds-are-in-and-so-is-blackfish/)
apparently i have inadvertently started an avatar/name fad by becoming Davos Seaworth, we also have an Eddard Stark and a Tyrion Lannister.
join the fad thats sweeping the nation clock crew.
whoever becomes Jaqen H'ghar gets all the love I have

oh they were talking aobut roz who cares she dead

She's popular now so she doesn't 'need' to do them anymore I guess
Shows literally all about Stannis and Davos. If Victarion meets up and becomes best friends with them ill lose my shit. They can kill Dany and ride her dragons into the red keep and just eat everyone. Team rhllor ftw
i just found out that thoros of myr is dennis pennis

Episode was great. Arya is becoming increasingly awesome.
awesome episode. my favourite bit was actually not all the killing though the ending was awesome dat arya dat hound. but it was the graveyard bit where that fool gave sansa his necklace was kind of cool
rip ice
I'm a bit disappointed that they combined the Thenns and the Ice-River Clans. I actually like the Magnar of Thenn in the books.
silly question, but how many books of games of thrones exist?
and i guess everyone dies, right?

I would have been genuinely surprised and impressed if that had kept rickon alive because it would mean D&D would have had to come up with something for him to do
My dick is harder than valyrian steel right now
me after watching the last 2 eps of got:
[u2]zo-YVqV0v4Q[/u2]
Cersei just owned the motherfucking game.
Things i didn't get:
How did Varyss travel halfway around the world in an instant.
Isn't that face swap thingy Arya does super tricky? Does she just have a bag with dead people's faces or something?
Yeah but Cersei lost Tommen which was definitely not in the gameplan, even though he did fuck her over by putting her on trial. So it was more of a bittersweet victory for her. Still, probably the most satisfying scene for me this season watching the sparrows get obliterated.
As far as Varyss' speedy travel, I can only assume that the events of an episode could be weeks apart and condensed down for our viewing pleasure. And Dorne is the closest point in Westeros to Mereen, so how long would it take to sail there?
I personally can't wait for next years season premier were cersei rapes Jaime ontop of tom men's corpse
Jaime is going to murder the shit out of Cersei fo sureeee
Prophecies
Cersei's queenship
A younger, more beautiful queen will be Cersei's undoing.
“ Cersei: When will I wed the prince?
Maggy: Never. You will wed the king.
Cersei: I will be queen, though?
Maggy: Aye. Queen you shall be... until there comes another, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear.[3] â€
Cersei's children
Cersei will outlast her children and die by the hands of "the valonqar".
“ Cersei: Will the king and I have children?
Maggy: Oh, aye. Six-and-ten for him, and three for you. Gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds, she said. And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar (High Valyrian for "little brother") shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you.
interesting post, pirate!
BTW i've been reading online about some of the GoT backstory, and i've gotta ask: (SPOILERS BELOW)
first of all, joeffrey was a sadistic bastard and he got what he deserved (death by poison), therefore, the path was now open for tommen to rule the land.
so, since things became OK in the kingdom with the rule of the calmer, nicer tommen, then:
-WHY did tommen commit suicide? (he certainly doesnt do it in the books, since he is still alive, ruling the 7 kingdoms as a puppet-king, following the orders of his mother, queen cercei.)
-WHY is jon snow killed 354 times, and why is he such a lousy fighter?
-since jamie lannister is a clever, charming and brave man, seemingly the ideal(?) knight(in GoT), WHY was he having sex with his own twin sister?
did he commit this (horrible) act of incest in order to preserve the ''lannister bloodline'' as a whole, or is it just because he is a twisted guy?
(BTW, many royal bloodlines commited incest at one point or another, in order to preserve the ''purity'' of their bloodlines, and naturally, this resulted in many of their kids being born blind, deformed, sterile and/or mentally challenged.
in fact, extreme incest destroyed the (once) powerful house of the hapsburgs... why they were so stupid?)
-oh, and whats going on with the daenerys and her ''holy cause'' to conquer all of westeros?
is she the ''new, beautiful queen'' that will dethrone cercei?
(to be completely honest though, cercei looks ALOT better than daenerys... both in the book descriptions/drawings, and in the actresses playing their respective parts. (imho lena headey is ALOT prettier than emilia clarke))
also, i really liked the characters/the acting of: peter dinklage as tyrion, of sophie turner as the tormented sansa stark,
nikolaj coster was OK as mr jamie lannister, charles dance was awesome as the big bad evil father of the lannisters,
AND i really liked seeing the legendary actor sean bean in a sword-fantasy movie once again (he was perfect as boromir in lord of the rings!), yet i have to ask: why does sean bean's characters ALWAYS die in his movies/series/in every role that he takes?
thats all.
valyrian swords look cool, yet they will never be like the glamdring/like the orcrist.
gondolin swords are the BEST! (fantasy swords, that is)
END OF SPOILERS
are you the real bunnytheis
cercei lannister was killed.
