This thread will probably be moved.

Not into Game of Thrones. Struggled through the books quite frankly and eventually lost track of who's backstabbing who and which house wants to fight with which house. There's only so much you can remember when there's over 30 characters!

Nope, haven't watched a second of it, since I view it as just another drama involving a noble subculture. But if there was a TMNT crossover with house Reed, I may give it a watch. I do hear that the subalterns, such as Arya Stark and Littlefinger are the best part of the show with traditional superhero powers.

Nope. I'd love to read the books one day, but I don't have HBO, so I can't watch the show anyway. And this should be moved into the TV and Movies forum.

Game a Thrones is probably the best show on TV right now. i've read the books and the show is better (which is Rare for the move/show to out shine the book). Peter Dinklage does a great job portraying one of my favourite character's Tyrion.

as far as houses go:
Greyjoy has the best house words: "we do not sow"
Targaryen the best sigil:
but my favourite house is the Lannisters. a house that strives for power and has both the muscle and intelligence to do it

I've read all of the books so far. I think I like the novels a little more, depending on which story they are adapting. For instance, I don't like certain changes made to Arya's story, but they made Dany's story more interesting.

If I had to root for one house over the others, it would be House Targaryen. Daenerys seems to be the closest thing to a "good guy" among the characters fighting for the throne. She's pretty kind to her subjects, and seems to save that nastiness the other leaders have for when someone double crosses her.

I'm watching it now, getting thru season 2. But I agree, as good as it is it's VERY hard to keep track of names, what each person's agenda is, who's fighting who and why, etc. I thought LotR movies were tricky at first since there's a lot of characters there too, but that wasn't so bad after a few viewings. But this, wow! Good show, just a bit overwhelming.

I would be EXTREMELY surprised and disappointed if they didn't film all the books. But as I don't know what happens in the books and don't wanna know, of course they could just end it earlier if for some idiotic reason everybody stop caring about the show.

I'm so glad Joffery is dead, but I wish he had suffered some Theon-style torture before hand. He didn't deserve to die so quickly.

Hoooly crap was this a good one, that's some of the best acting i've seen on TV ever, Peter Dinklage killed it....

Yep, Dinklage killed that ending.

Can't wait for The Mountain vs Red Viper

This is easly the best epsiode of the season and it had zero action.
And is anyone else thinking that Cercei is pulling strings through Shai?

Edit. Ups! forgot about Dredd fort invasion so a little action...

Geez, Sansa just can't seem get a moment's rest. First, she's engaged to a completely psychopathic King, then when she escapes said psychopath, she finds herself living with a crazy aunt, and engaged with an equally crazy king.

At least Cersei isn't as crazy as Lysa Tully, if you piss her off it's moongate for you...

Twice I've sat down to read the books and unfortunately I just found it difficult to stay focused - I don't know whether that says more about me, or whether it's just that I find it hard to gel to George R R Martin's particular writing style.

The most recent episode had me on the edge of my seat - to the point where the credits started rolling and I was like "Oh, COME ON!" at the cliffhanger ending :lol:

I couldn't say that I have a favourite house per se, but I love watching Brienne of Tarth, Cersei and Tyrion. I have to admit that I find anything to do with the Starks or the Knight's Watch a bit dull, despite having a soft spot for Sansa.

Based on the first season, I really didn't think that I was going to be a fan of the show, but it's definitely grown on me and I'm glad I stuck with it!

Holly crap was this a good one, each episode keeps toping the previous one,
so many great moments.
The hound, this is the most simpathetic he's been so far.
That conversation betwen the Oberin and Tyrion}
The ending, holly crap.
And Hot Pie cameo, yeeey..
how do you guys feel about the new Mountain? I like the old guy better, this one's a little to young and the old one had a crazier face...

05-19-2014, 01:23 PM
Can't wait to see Oberyn fight the Mountain

Also, I don't mind the recasting of The Mountain that much, he does a fine enough job. On another note
Notice how when Littlefinger pushes Lysa out of the moon gate, she falls in a straight line? :lol:

Merely out of curiosity, does anybody know why they recast the actor playing The Mountain?

They wanted a bigger actor.
Peanut

Their recasting thus far has been lame. Game of Thrones has enough smaller parts that it's hard enough to keep track of people as it is, let alone when they completely replace the actor.

Now you know how I feel about violent TV shows. That was the absolutely worst ****ing thing I have seen on TV in a long, long time. I will never watch Game of Thrones again. There must be some sick ****s working on that show, but to be fair, this is HBO and not normal TV, so they like to make it extreme.

Do you mean just the imagery or how you felt for the character?

Game of Thrones: Fathers Day Edition ended perfectly.

Shocked they didn't give us a certain scene at the end.

I also felt they rushed the Tyrion/Jaime/Tywin scenes. They left out some of my favorite dialogue from the books.

Where do I begin, how about when Jaime and Varys helped Tyrion escape from King's Landing, but not before Tyrion strangled Shae and shot Tywin ( Who was sitting on a toilet no less) with Joffrey's Crossbow. But my favorite moment came when Arya left the Hound to die and ditched Brienne of Tarth to ride a boat to god knows where.
