Kapish?


I think I'm just gonna stay away from this particular thread as there's really no point in my reading it.

Rez, do yourself a favor and read the books

In the series you can't learn much about the lore and the background of the story. It also lacks the deep lines of thought that cross the mind of the protagonist of each chapter, which is a very large and important part of the books, but is missing in the series.

Waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait... where did I say that Jamie was a cool character? Oh, allright, I said he was the second most likeable Lannister. But that's a bit like saying syphilis is the most fun STD, isn't it?

so don't feel spoiled.

Cmon, you're coloring outside the lines. 'The lines' being my point about throwing down a simple spoiler tag when talking about something from the books which hasnt yet happened.

Nezzer, I know the books will be better, that's always the case regardless. Any book is going to be better than an adapted TV series or movie; I'm in full agreement.

Rattus, yeah, it's like saying 'which pile of sh!t do you think looks nicer?'.. but you're dodging my point. Before I read that Jamie is still alive in later volumes of the book I was in the dark about what might happen to him while in Stark custody, but now I know he lives for a good long while. It's as simple as that. I now know Jamie will not die this season when, in my mind, it was a very real possibility in the wake of Ned's death.

No worries, it isnt the end of the world, but I know better now than to click on this thread.

[[-project.rattus-]]

Allright, got me there. But rejoice in the fact that there are many more twists and turns yet to come.

Just watched it. Not the best chapter, but a decent start. I was afraid they would cut Maester Cressen trying to poison Melisandre since they moved the prologue to the middle of the show, but they handled it very well. I just think that scene with Littlefinger implying that he knows about Cersei's dark secret was unnecessary. It made him looks pretty stupid.

That's mostly the reaction I've been hearing as well, and I do share it. But I believe that much like with season one, the show will get better and better as the story lines develop.

Yeah. It looked a bit rushed, but I understand they had a lot of things to show and little time. I just don't understand why it's 10 episodes and not 20.

20 episodes would be much more expensive to produce than 10. The production value of the show is already very high compared to most other TV shows.

I think they should do two seasons per book.

What do you think of Carice van Houten? (the priestess)

Hot

[[-project.rattus-]]

yeah, but I don't like her performance. Though that might have to do with me not liking the character generally.

Episode was accedently released today :3 of season 2

[LightsabeR]

The 2nd episode was out yesterday already. Watched it and it's better than the first.

Yeah I watched yesterday too. Less rushed, but some things are a bit too different from the book.

Spoilers from the second episode:

Spoiler!

Stannis being a bit lustful, Davos saying he's an atheist, Bronn chosen as the new captain of the guard (where the hell is Jacelyn Bywater?) one of Dany's blood brothers dying, and the worst one: WTF was that last scene? Craster catching Jon stalking him to the woods where he'd give a baby to an Other? Well, let's see how this plays out. I'd better stop comparing the events of the series to the books' and watch the series as a whole other thing. It's still a fantastic series.

Well damn. It was bound to start sometime, and here i was thinking "Wow, finally a series that follows its book"

Spoiler!

What's with all the incest in this world? I mean seriously it feels like every other character is a sexual deviant. Kinda made me feel queasy last night. At least with Balon it was accidental (on his part at least not his sister's). I think it goes beyond being "realistic" tbh when there's that much of it.

[SiC-Disaster]

I can imagine Balon's reaction to be somewhat like this:

Spoiler!

[[-project.rattus-]]

Haven't seen the episode, but I guess it should be

Spoiler!

Theon, not Balon getting freaky with his sis..., shouldn't it?

Spoiler!

I didn't know Balon had a sister to get freaky with, in any case; the Y chromosome is very popular in their family's genetics

Yep mixed them up.

Either way though....
