HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)

[Norah]

You guys should really read the books. The first one is almost identical to the first season and then it diverges a little. But this season is different in so many ways the books are significantly better than the show now.

wtf chud, spoiler that shit. i haven't read the books so i don't know if they're better yet.

[Norah]

oh shit my bad

paaks issue wasn't so much that he spoiled something (he just hinted). It's that he was asked very nicely to spoiler it and instead of saying "whoops, ill fix that" he went into this huge response about how the show essentially required you to do independent research, etc and was just generally kinda a jerk about it.

Spoiler: show

Someone (me? chris?) pointed out that it appeared dany was immune to fire, and he said it was clearly not the case and up to that point all we had seen was her in the scalding water, and then with the dragon eggs.

and CHUD. Yes. We all know there are books about this television program. We also know that the books are likely better (as is usually the case). However, some of us are choosing to enjoy the show on it's own, free of the things that seem to be disappointing so many of the book readers. I can only speak for myself when I promise to you that I will read the books eventually. Maybe even before the TV series is over.

You really shouldn't impose your beliefs on people, bookie

the tv v. books debate is really about comparing apples to oranges. they're two different mediums, and what works for one can't necessarily work for the other (the show writers would get murdered if they have characters and storylines languishing intermittably for seasons on end so we can get every detail of everything, including the dialects and clothing -- it doesn't work that way).

c'mon skitch, you know damn well from reading this thread this season that it's much easier to bitch and make posts ridiculing people who ask nicely for spoilers than to click on the spoiler tabs at the top of the posts.

Yeah, but in a show with a ton of source material to work with, they just show this kid a bit too much for my liking.

Ollie becomes king on the iron throne in the books

Yeah, use the spoiler tag. Don't know if it's true or not, but there's a thread for spoilers from the book.

Are you being serious right now?

Based on your response, I'll assume you were kidding and I'm being overly sensitive and perhaps a bit naive. Still, I've been spoiled by others in this thread via book talk, so, hence, my heightened sense of paranoia.

im not paaks

I can't recall the paaks spoiler stuff, but my bigger point is that the show is so outlandish it's hard to distinguish true spoilers vs. people just having fun.

I can guarantee you I would never intentionally spoil anything in this thread

We get the Jorah going all Maximus last episode and a white walker "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!" This week

[Biff Pocoroba]

Holy hell that second half hour

[Norah]

That was probably the best episode of the season.

[lowlight79]

Holy Shitballs!

[MitchCumstein]

Loved that episode. The clouds or smoke or whatever creeping over the mountains was pretty intense. We'll done by the director. Plus, great scene between Tyrion and Dany.

[Strat]

All sorts of perfect. Holy shit. Tyrion scenes were so top notch game of thrones interaction and then of course the white walkers....


Can someone tell me via psoiler why john snows sword didnt shatter?

Season? I think series.

[Simple Torture]

Holy Shitballs!

I believe the only appropriate reaction to this episode is "Holy Fucking Shitballs." Please edit your post accordingly.

[Simple Torture]

I don't think we've ever seen an army as vicious as the army of the dead; they make the Dothraki horde look like kindergarteners.
