Game of Thrones!

Started reading it a week ago but stopped since. The characters just feel too real and it feels awful and depressing. George seems like a nice guy still but his books just don't do it for me.

 

I watch the series, I've never read the books. I think is a great. My favorite characters are:
-Tyrion (as anyone)
-Baelish
-Jon Snow

 

Also, someone spoiled the entire thing for me. Still I'm not sure whether to be happy or sad about it.

 

Some people are such jerks and try to spoil everything. It's still worth watching though!

 

The series have gone quite far from the books this season but im finding it very good still. Iv read the books and I dont know what to expect in the series. I think they have done a good job with the series.

 

This is how I feel too. They've made an amazing show for four seasons so I trust them, and this season is great too. The first two episodes were kind of just setting things up, which they have to do, but now they're keeping the TV audience AND us "book fans" guessing about what will happen. Poor Ser Barristan :icon_sad:

I also like the twist in Cersei's plot to use the High Sparrow against Margaery. In the books they didn't go after Ser Lora's, but the way it's happening in the show is somehow even more dramatic. Can't wait for tonight!

 

Jamie going to Dorne was a surpirse as well as the fact that he goes with Bronn. Im hoping that they stick with the Sparrow plot from the book with Cersie and Margaery. I wonder if the Greyjoyes will make an appearance.

 

I've started watching Game of Thrones when Season 3 was on. After it ended I read the books and I think the show is fantastic.

I've never watched something that keeps this excited and nervous at the same time. I love how they are changing things from the books this season, it makes it unpredictable and surprising. Even if the last episode broke my heart at the ending I still love it

 

Holy shit!!! What an ending to the last episode. Westeros needs to come together and Dany needs to hurry up with her dragons.

 

The last episode blew me away. It was perfection all of it, even dany scenes were tolerable with Tyrion in them.

 

I'm in the middle of Season 2 right now. Prolly gonna finish it either today or tomorrow.
I want to punch Joffrey in the face so hard. And his "lover". She needs a good whack in the head, too. Even the queen admits Joffrey's not perfect. Granted, she's worse, and she knows it, but she's at least honest about it.

And Tyrion. I want that man to take me on adventures. Granted they'll be full of booze and women, two things my body says "no" to, but I'd be glad to see him get every drop and breast he can get his hands on.

 

Can we talk about the SPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILERS


white walkers? Because damn Night's king, you scary. I also like that they broke past the cliches and stigmas, and made zombies that for once frightened me. Also, even though I've read all the books, I like the direction they're taking the show in. Now I don't sit there knowing what to expect. Like the freaking white walkers showing up to thwart everyone's plans.

Also... Loras?

 

SPOILERS!!!!!!!




Loras is in a weird sort of limbo right now. If King Tommen can't free his mother and his queen, there's not much hope for Ser Loras until things play out. It's been a bad season for anyone named Ser this year, especially Ser Friendzone catching greyscale and getting thrown out of Meereen, again. Dany is heartless! And of course, poor Ser Barristan. I'm still upset about that.

But yeah, Hardhome. Wow. I liked that pretty wildling girl and was sad to see her die so quickly, especially the way it happened. LOVED Wun-Wun though. (The giant.) He was in the books but I didn't expect to see him in the show, so that was a great surprise.

I'm so glad they're deviating from the books, otherwise we'd be watching an entire season of Brienne and Podrick wandering around while Cersei has Qyburn torturing people. I mean I like the books, but the show is doing a great job of keeping things interesting.

 

Holy shit is hitting the fan! Big stuff happening. Daenerys is getting more and more fascinating finally! I knew her storyline would pay off eventually. #crushthewheel
I like the show more than the books.

 

The High Sparrow starting to zone in and eventually put away Cersei, once and for all, had to be one of the more emotionally overwhelming moments for me in watching thus far.

And then the white walkers bit!!

What a season finale this must be....

 

Yeah, I did feel bad about the wildling woman (I think her name was Karsi). I guess that since the writers knew she would have to die, they wanted to first make us like her as much as they could within less than an episode's worth of character development.

 

Yeah, they did a really great job with character development! Everything we knew about her, we learned from about 20 minutes of the episode...and the fact that people were sad to see her die really shows how good GoT's writers are.

Oh, and I forgot to mention Tyene Sand! :icon_redf I don't even have words...just wow.

 

If you think waiting a week for the next episode is bad, try reading the books. Yeah, they're kinda long, but still! Anyway, GOT is a SUPER AWESOME series!

 

And then waiting years for the next one. I'm dying for Winds of Winter to be released. Please!

To be honest, I'm not that into the series at this moment. I still follow it faithfully, but the 5th season has been a bit disappointing for me... I suppose because some things I really wanted to see from the books were cut, and other things were made up out of nothing. And I wouldn't mind, if the stories were good, but some plots this season are just... lacking.

I'm still waiting for Sansa's freaking empowerment. And I miss Arya's cool plots and interactions with actually interesting people (the Hound, Tywin...). Also, um... Harder to like Stannis after this week.
