avelanch Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) really hope he's not dead. he's not. finale was awesome... i need moar. i can't believe i have to suffer through 4 months of true blood now... my wife loves that show. it was ok/decent for the first bit, but it became a clusterfrack of crappiness and kept going down. it seems like they have jumped the shark a couple times now, i don't know how they get renewed.

DollarAndADream Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I'm going to start reading the books. I love the show and have heard the books are amazing. The only book I've ever willingly read by myself was The Outsiders, so I'm guessing I'm in for quite a time. Don't get me wrong, I've read lots of books. I just read them because I had to for school. That foreshadowing in The House of the Undying was amazing. Where she walks into the Throne room and it's covered in snow with the roof gone.

Just wait'll you see that same sequence in the books. Way cooler in a way the TV show couldn't have matched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was a test too, but the House of the Undying is magical and may let you see the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron_Gland Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Without book spoilers, can someone explain why Winterfell was destroyed? I thought those guys were going to surrender and go home by giving up Theon? So what was the town in ruins? Does it have something to do with the bastard son? I'm guessing we'll find out next season but thought it was odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbbyNucksFan Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 yes, it has a lot to do with the bastard son.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzy Mahmood Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I thought Theon's speech was fantastic. "and whoever kills that (...) with the horn" At least they're filming now. Perhaps HBO will get Series 3 on tv a bit quicker. And I know they said they couldn't film two series back-to-back, but HBO needs to give the show the resources it needs to do that. Otherwise it'll be about 2022 by the last series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butters Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 it has a lot to do with You should probably edit that response. Even though it wasn't a book cliffhanger it was a show cliffhanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) finally finished (catching up) thought that battle (in ep 9) was poorly done, but the season finale made up for it the show's strength is its story and politics and acting, whenever it gets action-y, it gets pretty lame, imo. also really, really hate the targaryean (spelling) mother of dragons subplot. i find all of those characters to be really annoying, and their dialogue to be obnoxiously bad. "I am your kahleesi! The Mother of Dragons! Take me to The Thirteen so I can visit The House of The Undying!" -- it's so dumb. It's like when there's any detail in the story, they have some silly name for it (i.e. "The ___ "), and then they repeat 40 times per minute but damn, the rest of the show is amazing amazing think i'll pick up the books now.

No_More_Larchide Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Im about 300 pages into book 2 after reading book one in 4 days... That said, If I have to read the words "milk of the poppy" one more goddam time, Im going to lose my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:D Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Just finished watching the second season. Was decent. Some of the stories are still as boring (north of the wall) but I don't think the show is doing well for Daenarys. She seems a lot more whiny that I remember when reading her stories. I get the feeling that a lot of people watching hear her say the name Targaryen but don't feel the impact of it without reading the books. I am very glad that one of my favourite characters, Tywin, is getting treated well. If I remember my timeline, we'll be seeing one of my other favs, Barristan Selmy, early in the next season.

She never does anything, all she does is go around whining and telling everyone that they need to listen to her because she's the "mother" of some dragon eggs that existed long before she was born.

Dream Theater Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Anyone else hear that Charlize Theron is interested in joining the Game of Thrones cast? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 if they have to write in a new character just to add star power (if theron is considered star power), then that's dumb. i'm almost done book 1. pretty good. makes me like the characters a lot more. the imp is better in the book, and the daenarys (or whatever) character is actually enjoyable in the novel, whereas she's just terrible in the show imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
