Game of Thrones
Any Game of Thrones fans here? Are you hooked on this show the way I am?
I'd love to discuss. :tea: |
The books are impressive and we're just starting to watch the TV series. I think we missed the first few episodes. I'm hoping they re-run them before they start the 2nd series (I cannot imagine they'd start the series and not continue with the additional books)

IF the series is popular (and I think it is doing well), it will have another season. Right now I'm in love with Khal Drogo and also, *whispers*, the Imp. I can't help it. The Imp's smart-ass attitude is sexy! |
I absolutely LOVE this show! I haven't seen the last couple of weeks, but will catch up on the internet. Would love to read the book.

I am hooked! Christie just got the book. From the looks of it, it is a trilogy?...or series???
I like the Imp too. Is he the same guy from Station Agent? At any rate, I do love his character. He is the only Lannister I like, though! Grrr spit on the rest... |
A Song of Ice and Fire is a series of epic fantasy novels by American novelist and screenwriter George R. R. Martin. Martin began writing the series in 1991 and the first volume was published in 1996. Originally planned as a trilogy, the series now consists of four published volumes with the fifth expected to be published on July 12, 2011 and a further two planned. In addition there are three prequel novellas available, with several more planned, and a series of novellas consisting of excerpts of the main novels. One of these excerpt novellas has won a Hugo Award. The series has been translated into more than 20 languages[1] and the fourth volume reached the top of The New York Times bestseller lists upon its release.[2] Overall, the series has more than 6 million copies in print in the USA[3] and sold more than 7 million worldwide.[4]

It's a series and as a series, it's even more intricate than Tolkein is. I think I need to read from Feast of Crows onwards still.. |
LOVE IT!!!! |
I love it!!! I want to read the books! I think so far my favorite part was how the Khalise has found her powerful and is becoming "fierce." When they killed her brother I was very happy! He was a douchebag!
|
Haven't watched the series yet but the books are awesome. I've got to climb up in the attic and get them again.
|
So far Khaleesi Danrys is the one who has the most interesting character development.
The Imp has the best lines. :) |
A fan of both the books and the tv series. I've been watching it fairly avidly and think it's been really well done. When they cast Sean Bean as Eddard I wasn't sure at first how closely they'd follow the books. It's cool that they cast such a well-known actor for that role.

I also love who they chose to cast Arya Stark and how they've portrayed her true to form. Love how they've done Jon Snow's character, too. For those who haven't/aren't able to catch the series on TV check out Project Free TV: http://www.free-tv-video-online.me/i.../season_1.html Oh and the potlucker links are the best/most reliable, imo, even among the other fast loaders. Btw, just cause I saw it mentioned here, HBO has actually already confirmed the second season and they're going to start production soon last I read. |

Well my Stargate is all watched I will have to check out this Game of Thrones.
|
I may have just launched into a strong round of f**ity F**k F**k and then shot off two emails to my best friend who is also watching it.
WHAT THE FUCK! Yes. I cursed. I save it for strong emotions. This episode produced really strong emotions in me. Next week is the season finale. |
I just got done watching the latest episode too! I can't believe it! The last scene was really well done and incredibly emotional. Not having read the books, I had no idea what was coming, and was completely shocked. Its going to be FOREVER until the next season. Oh well, at least True Blood is almost here!

LOL! That's what my BFF said as well about True Blood. I'm also ready for season two of HBO's Boardwalk. I got into that show but not like Game of Throne. I'm still reeling and can't wait to see this week's episode. But I'll have to wait until Monday. I'm heading out of town to see my honey. |
I can't wait too! I am definitely going to start reading the books since I will have time between the series.
|
For me, the final scene in that last episode was incredibly well done. But who was the man who grabbed Arya?
Edited: Yoren. It was Yoren. |
I agree about the final scene. And then to follow it up with the image of the bloody sword in the preview for the next episode. I don't even have words...
|
I am rewatching the series. I have not got to the last episodes yet. I am lingering in the dialogue and character development. I just love this series. I have not read the books, but geez I think I should just to get more meat (and being a vegetarian that is kinda hard to write :huhlaugh:) I am savouring every episode. I can't help but love the Imp. I have been a fan of Peter Dinklage since I watched him in The Station Agent, brilliant actor. I was pleased when I saw him in this series.
And the horses they use for the production...OMG... beautiful creatures. I love this series... I know broken record, but yeah. :goodscore: |

OOhhhh now I am all excited to see the end.... |
Just watched the season finale last night. Yay for True Blood coming up but boooo on having to wait so long. I did buy the boxed set of the first four GoT books. :)
|
I LOVED the season finale! That last scene was again awesome! I totally didnt see that coming, although I should have. I can't wait to get the books!
|
Quote:
RIIIIGHT??? I have to say that the books are really intriguing. I'm getting a lot more out of them than the series (of course) in terms of description. |

I think we should start a book thread. LOL. I can't wait to discuss it. Amazon has a four book set for right around 20. |

So I just found out that George R. R. Martin is going to be doing a book signing near me for the newest book in the series next month!!!

EEEKKK!!! I wanna go sooo bad!!! Hopefully before the event I can scrounge up the money for a ticket!

Christie just picked up the second and third in the series and has downloaded the first for me on audio file. Reading for long periods of time makes my head hurt too much anymore, so I have become an audiobook fan over the past few years. ( I do miss the smell of books though and sniff on hers sometimes)
It is kind of tricky listening to an attack of the white walkers while head down weedeating. Feels like someone has snuck up on me! Winter of 2012 is a long way away... I think that is when the next season airs. :vigil: |
Quote:
LOL about the sneaking up on you. Next season is Spring 2012. Is it here yet? Off to True Blood land now. |
I haven't read the rest of this thread...because I just started watching the first season. I'd heard about it...and several friends insisted I'd love it...but that usually makes me steer clear of actually watching (I always think it won't live up to the hype and I'll be disappointed). But...I've started watching the first season On Demand...and I gotta confess, I've been sucked in! I'm trying to watch all the episodes before the second season starts...hence not reading the rest of the thread. I don't wanna know what happens before I finish watching! :)
|
i'm SO EXCITED about the new season, but i don't have hbo (i don't have a tv), so i hope i can figure out a way to watch it.
|
|
Well there you go.
|
Second season
Great first episode!
Thoughts on new characters (I've read all the books): I like Davos and Stannis- they come off well, or at least as I imagined. Melisandre doesn't seem nearly as commanding and foreboding though. And Craster is much too well groomed. Oh, and the baby dragons (well, dragon, only got to see one) are so cute. I want one! |
