Azzy Mahmood Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Done episode 5. Still not sure why this show is apparently the best on TV and I feel the gore and porn was greatly exaggerated but I support Ayra. The future of the show. I also hope Drogo dies because he is C blocking me in real life. I am stunned. GoT is the best show on TV because Breaking Bad has finished, and nothing else compares to those two behemoths. How is Jason Momoa cockerel-blocking you irl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gumballthechewy Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Strains eyes more though. I've never been bothered by it. I'd rather read off an iPad but I can't take one of those to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzy Mahmood Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Buying a Kindle was the best thing I ever did technology-wise. I now read far more than I ever used to, because I don't have to wait for a week for a book to arrive by post. It takes 20 seconds to download.

Finish season 1 and you should start to understand why it is the best show on TV... and then get to the end of season 3.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Strains eyes more though. A kindle without the glare or just a plain old book feels a lot more intimate Kindle fo lyfe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB007 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 If I was forced to start reading only through E-Books, I'd never be able to read through any book ever again. I need an actual book in my hands. Plus having a personal library is awesome. edit: Although I still need to buy the Song of Ice and Fire Books. Kinda in the awkward position where I don't want to read it for reasons of spoiling the show, lol. I recently finished all 5 books, and let me tell you, the TV show is spoiling the books for me, not the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) is this thread book spoiler friendly? anyway, i had to read a book last week and i was too sick to get up and get it, so i just bought it on my iPad, man that felt like murder on my eyes. i can read website articles no problem, but after an hour or so it was really painful is that a sign that i need glasses, or is it just a sign that iPads are not meant for reading books?

I'm 36. I'm old school. I love tech but I would want to read an actual book, especially when you are looking at up to 1 million words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB007 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I find that after reading the books, the show feels flat and rushed in comparison. It's a testament to how well written the books are Thoughts on books 4 & 5? I consider Book 4 to be the most boring one, still good but just not a page turner like the others. Too much Greyjoys and Martells. The Cercei chapters are hilarious though. Book 5 is the best one (Book 3 would be my 2nd choice). And unlike the other books and even the TV shows, it leaves us with cliffhangers like cliffhangers have never been hung before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butters Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thoughts on books 4 & 5? both great. Slower paced though, after book 3. Lots of people were dissapointed because of the influx of new characters... to be honest I felt the same way at first. Its not that the new POVs are bad, its that you want to see more of the older characters. But once you warm up to them, they are as good as any of the books... IMO better than book 1 and 2 for sure. Some of the most poignant moments in the series are in book 4. Book 4 is definitely about the journey more than the destination. Book 5 is awesome too. Once again, people tend to rip on it cuz they don't like all the new characters introduced in essos. But I liked them, and loved the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzy Mahmood Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I like Penny, one of my absolute favourite characters. Not sure if she'll make the cut on the TV show though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azzy Mahmood Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I said one of, along with Book Loras (not show Loras), Maester Aemon, Hot Pie and Aeron Damphair. She is someone I can sympathise with, an innocent amongst a world of cruelty. She deserves screen time. And a rich husband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I remember him doing is ***spoiler*** pleading with Cercei for you know what. Man these are odd characters you are into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzy Mahmood Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Don't get me wrong, I like Ned, I like Jon, and Tyrion, but main characters like Robert, Cersei, Robb, Bran, Jaime, Danaerys? I couldn't care less about any of them truth be told. I like to get into the mindsets of the minor characters as they tend to see the story from another angle. If you read the books as Penny you'll see how little she knows of the world. I enjoy that far more than romps between siblings, sitting around waiting for people to love Dany etc. Arya and Sansa I care little about in the books too, but on screen Arya is dynamite, and Sansa is hubba-hubba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to more POV from him in the next book. The other POV I dig very much is Cercei... I guess I like extreme characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gumballthechewy Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 is that a sign that i need glasses, or is it just a sign that iPads are not meant for reading books? It depends, reading books on an iPad has never botherd me but my brother can't comfortably. Some people just can't without discomfort or whatever. It may be that you need glasses, it never hurts to get checked though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
