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

[epilogue]

i finally got my wife to start watching this by agreeing to watch every episode over again with her. challenge gladly accepted. i was on season 1, episode 3 or 4 (the one with doreah and viserys' bath scene) and it's amazing how much foreshadowing they do to events and characters way down the road in the tv series this early on. having never read the books (whatever pete), i never picked up on it when i saw the show the first time.

Oh man you're in for a treat. They never let up with that stuff. You're gonna find so much more the second time through. It's great.

H2, do you sit there with your wife during multiple scenes of nudity and say out loud, "I don't remember there being this much nudity. Why do they have to show so much?".

I picture you saying that.

[Norah]

you want foreshadowing read the fucking books

[Chris_H_2]

you want foreshadowing read the fucking books

that doesn't make any sense pete. did you mean to write "if you wanted foreshadowing you should've read the fucking books before watching the tv series so you could have sanctimoniously gone on and on about how much better the books are than the tv series?" i think that's what you meant.

i would've had to have done that. but then she watched shameless which puts the nudity in game of thrones to shame.

Also, if you want storylines post Tywin's death to actually make sense, then read the books.

i can't wait friend. the problem is my wife is way smarter than me (which isn't saying much) and she figures shit without the clues. it took her 1 second to figure out jon arryn was murdered because he found out about jaime and cersei.

do they have it on tape? because those books are pretty thick, and it would take about a million train rides to and from work just to get through the overly detailed descriptions of the characters' wardrobes.

Oh this is gonna be fun! Keep us posted. I'm especially excited to hear how she reacts to the major events and if/when she sees them coming before they happen. I'm looking at you, Red Wedding.

i should've worded that differently. it took my wife about 1 second to figure out what the viewer will be led to believe by the end of the first season.

You've probably seen the news that HBO is developing four GoT spin-offs, as there are only 13 regular GoT episodes left. Any theories on what those spin-offs might focus on? Will they be things touched on in the main series, or maybe stuff in the books that the series never got around to? What eras are we talking here? Robert's Rebellion seems like a fertile time to pull a series out of.

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
