Looking for one more series to peg into my list. Was talked into watching this although I already had Spartacus for the medieval stuff.
Finally a series that can make me go "what the fuck? really?"
Took me a while to get into the whole seven families and kingdoms. Even though I just finished season one there are still some names that I have no idea who they are talking about.
Will definitely dive into season two.
That makes my list consist of:
Dexter
Homeland
Spartacus
Boardwalk Empire
Walking Dead
American Horror Story
Breaking Bad
Boss
Game of Thrones
Curious, most of that is blood.

This is my favorite series on Television, period. I actually get anxious for an upcoming episode, which is rare.

Will start season two tonight. It's hard for me to decide who to be "for" because everybody has some dirt. Definitely against the lions, though. They can all die but the dwarf. Except I've been told they don't get murderated so it appears I'll get no satisfaction out of that until at least season three.

I'm reading the books and plan on watching the HBO series once I finish the third book (which will be in a month or two).
Just one question - at the end of season 1, were the dragons sucking on Dany's tits like described in the book?

I am a power reader. I read ALL THE TIME. Plus, I read a wide variety of genres, including epic fantasy, so I am not a novice at a complex familial structures and detailed world building sagas. I love 600+ page books, three or four to a series. I love action and fighting and intrigue and betrayal and sex and war.
I bought into the hype over the "A Song of Ice and Fire" saga, and got Game of Thrones, which is the first book.
Allow me to channel my inner Kaos for a moment.
It sucked major donkey ass. And GRRM is overrated like no author since James Patterson.
There are way too damn many characters and what character development there is either rushed or dragged out to the point of boredom. You certainly can't put the book down - no, literally, you cannot put the book down. if you go more than a day or two without reading it, you forget who the fuck all these damn people are.
The whole thing with the father being the right hand of the king and then he's not and then 400 pages later, we find out his ultimate fate? Who drags that out? NO PURPOSE. Killing off one of the wolves for no damn good reason? i am all about making no character off limits when it comes to tragedy - that takes guts - but all that happens WAY too early and then that plot line just trickled off... If he picks it up later, it will be too far removed from the revenge factor to have as much impact. There are too many secondary and tertiary plots and intrigues, and they all intersect too many places. Even worse, even though the reader knows who the baddies are, and the signs should be glaringly obvious to the other characters, it goes on for 200 pages before DUN DUN DUN... ZOMG, BETRAYAL!!11!! And we are supposed to accept that the characters are stunned? I guess they are all dumb as a bag of hammers then. Plus, I hate seeing stuff coming in such an obvious fashion - a good author only drops subtle hints so that there is maybe some degree of shock or suspense but here, you would have to be blind not to figure it all out.
Even worse, GRRM is an arrogant fuck. He has said in multiple interviews that he owes his readers NOTHING - they can just gorram well wait until he writes the next book at his own leisure. You stupid idiot - the books and those loyal readers got you here. Those books have been out for a while. So yeah, he does owe the reader.
I bought the first two books at the same time, and the second book remains unopened - a total waste of money. I slogged my way through the first one, thinking it HAD to get better.
Nope.
You guys like the show for the guts and the blood and the sex - which is fine. Not knocking that. But to say that the books are any good is a real stretch for me. I can think of five or six other authors or series who blow ASoIaF out of the water.
Anyone want any recommendations, PM me.
-
Don't care about the books.
The show is well done. It gets a bit mumbly at times, but it's well done.
Would I watch it if I had to wait a week (or year) to see what happens next? I dunno. I watch Dexter which has really gotten bad the last two seasons. We'll see when I finish season 2 of GoT if I come back to it when it resumes in the spring.
-
I loved the books. LOVED them. a shitload of characters? Absolutely. But while the character development was gradual...I honesty gave a shit about who I was supposed to give a shit about. I thought the writing was great...and I was totally obsessed with the characters....and nobody is safe. I really thought law school had effectively killed my love for books....this series brought me back to life. As good as the series is? So SO much better in print.

When you are ready for another epic saga or even just a good series with a reoccurring character, let me know... there is nothing like getting lost in a good book.

I started the first Dexter book and can't quite get into it, although I am trying. However, according to reviews, the first three Dexter books were good, and then whammo - they jumped the shark. The same reviewer that LOVED the first one, thoguht the second was good, thought the third was meh, has now officially called Jeff Lindsey out for publishing crap, and has recommended that no one bother with the books anymore after the last two were so awful.
If you are interested, the review site I use for books in the epic fantasy/sf/military fantasy/urban fantasy/horror genres is www.elitistbookreviews.com (http://www.elitistbookreviews.com). They have yet to steer me wrong. For example, they were spot on with their reviews of Jim Butcher and the Dresden series. They hated the ones I hated, and got all happy again when the series got better again.

I don't blame you for not liking the books. I really like them, but they are exceeding long and drawn out. I did get aggravated in GOT when the fighting started and Martin was still taking time to describe the intricate details of everyone's shields, the horses, the particular shrubs on the battlefield, etc.
But I'm hooked because the characters are memorable, and the world is so vivid.
-
Try the show.
I remember the serious violence in the book well enough and I have heard that the show is equally as violent - and I am not one for watching head hacking off and executions and such. I don't like war movies for that reason. I am too tender hearted... :-) I can read that stuff all day with no problem, but I can't unsee that stuff, and it gives me bad dreams.
I know, sounds weird given how much I like True Blood and Walking Dead - but somehow killing vamps and zombies, who are already dead, doesn't bother me at all. And the few humans who get killed in those shows are more like horror movie deaths than war movie deaths.
Yeah, I'm weird.

I am all about long books - but there are times when I read some epic fantasy series and I think - you could have cut 150-200 pages and not lost ANYTHING. The Jim Butcher Codex Alera series comes to mind. That is a great epic fantasy. BUT: The main characters fight the monster bug queen fifty times in those books - but no ground is ever gained in any battle until the VERY end. It's like "Oh shit! Here they come!" FIGHTFIGHTFIGHT... "Oh shit! Here they come!" FIGHTFIGHTFIGHT... "Oh shit! Here they come!" FIGHTFIGHTFIGHT... Wash. Rinse. Repeat. And literally there is nothing that happens in the fight to progress the plot. It's just a fight. After about the tenth time, you start skipping pages... Butcher's series was six books of 400+ pages each. He could have done it in five and it still would have been awesome.

I enjoy this show...it shows boobies...i like boobies.

Okay. I read the books. And I've watched the show pretty faithfully.
The books got progressively worse. The last one was 14,688 pages of utter shit. 14,663 pages of that book were descriptions of clothing and food. Apparently Martin writes at night when his nightshirt is too tight for his straining gut and he sits there pondering how many fucking things he can drizzle honey over. That book was probably the worst sci-fi/fantasy/adventure book I've ever read in my life. And that's depressing because the first one was actually pretty good. It's like he had an editor and then fired the guy. I got to the point in the last book to where when I read the words "boiled leather" I'd tear the page out and throw it away. I cut out half the book that way.
The show, thankfully, culled all that babbling and blathering into a fairly cohesive season. It deviated pretty strongly from the books in several places, omitting numerous long-ass boring-ass stupid-ass rabbit holes that went nowhere and added nothing. It graciously deleted scores of secondary characters. It put certain people in places they weren't in the book and to good effect. But even still, it couldn't completely get rid of Martin's shitty gleeful sadism.
Stannis burning his daughter at the stake was gratuitous. It didn't happen in the books. The turns from heel to face in this series happen faster than they do in the WWE. Just a week or two after seeing a positive paternal side of Stannis, they make him the asshole of the universe. And to what end? To make you want him more dead when Brienne shows up this week? Fuck that.
The death (?) of Jon Snow WAS in the books (cliffhanger) but that fat ass Martin may never get around to finishing the next book. He looks like he's half a liverwurst sandwich from Mt. Vesuvius erupting in his chest. There are some pissed off people who've stuck with that show through the beheading of Ned, the Red Wedding and all the other shocking shit on which this show makes its bones. Stabbing Jon to death was simply too much.
At some point there has to be SOMEBODY to root for. You can't just keep arbitrarily slaughtering characters who are embedded in the lives of the fans for sport. There are some who will proclaim the genius of "no one being safe." But IMO there comes a point when the show is really nothing more than a mirror of Ramsey Bolton. It tortures people for the sheer joy of torture.

DO IT DEVILS
Refuse to lose 3 straight. Youve refused that all season long, this game should be no different.
Raise that trophy
-
GoT is back.
Does anyone care? We're losing characters left and right, including the fairly interesting Roose Bolton and the completely boring Doran Martell. We're getting some characters back in the worst "surprise" in the history of television.
I really wish they'd kill the entire Martell storyline. I hate the sand snakes and everything associated with that thread.
I thought all offseason about the inevitable reanimation of the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and had come to the conclusion that the bolder choice would have been to leave him to the dust. Bringing him back to life was not something the show would have considered for Ned, Joffrey, Robb or any of the other major characters who were slaughtered.
I also knew, however, that the identity of Snow's parents was supposedly a crucial plot point. According to legend, George wouldn't let HBO have the series until the directors were able to correctly tell him who Snow's mother was. Would that matter if he were dead?
I'm not sure that the series can maintain its strength without the books as a basis. Even though the last two books were absolute shit and every story in them took up maybe an episode and a half, they did leave some pretty big storylines hanging. When the books ended we had Bran up a tree, Snow stabbed and possibly dead, Sansa lost in the snow and Arya blind and in a cult. While I hate how RR Martin had lost his way with the two bloated and worthless last books, he did get everybody to that point and supposedly had (or has) an end in sight. Will the series get to them all to that same end?
What do we know after two episodes. Ramsey makes Joffrey look like a choir boy. There are still people showing up and I have no idea who they are although I think I'm supposed to know them. The red woman is a weirdo. The Black Watch seems to be pretty weak. A girl has no name. Hodor.

I think he's Ned's nephew, and not son.. A Targaryen, and the rightful heir.

Yeah. If he's not Lyanna's son either by Aerys or by Rhaegar or even possibly Robert Baratheon I'll be surprised.

This is why I expected them to build a funeral pyre and he would emerge kind of like Dany did with those baby dragons. Alas, he takes a deep breath and the scene cuts.

I thought about that. But i don't think they want to give away the obvious at this point. What does this show have left anyway? This season and next? And with no books to live by they can make it whatever they want.
I do fear that they will lean toward shock and disgust (Ramsey killing the baby with the dogs) over good storytelling. They've already drifted that way more than I'd like as it is.
I will keep watching it, though, just to make sure I don't miss Silicon Valley. That's an amazing show.

I will miss Margaery.
My problem with that is we didn't get to see what her plan was. We spent half the season dealing with her and the plan she was putting into place. There was no payoff. Sort of a waste of a story thread.

Kinda the way the show breaks tho. Same with Rob Stark. Finding out Jon Snow actually a Targaryen and is the King of Fire and Ice was stunning. Having Walter Frey mock the Blackfish for the way he died only to have his throat slit by the little Stark girl who also feed him his sons was also epic. Gonna be interesting to see claims the throne in the end. Jon and The Mother of Dragons both have legit claims. One things for sure. The most evil person in the kingdom now sits on the throne but hell is on its way for her.
-
So season 7 will be to unite the kingdoms vs the white walkers, and put jon snow on the throne, and season 8 will be war vs white walkers.

‘Game of Thrones’ Creators Mull Shorter Final Seasons
In an exclusive interview with Variety, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss said they are weighing wrapping up the Emmy-winning saga of Westeros and the battle for the Iron Throne with just 13 more episodes once this sixth season is over: seven episodes for season 7; six for the eighth and potential final season.

Winter is here. It came for House Frey.
I missed this show.
Edit: Okay, I am apparently no longer in the musical loop. I had no idea the pasty ginger in a Lannister army uniform was supposedly a singer. I just thought he was a shitty actor and figured Arya was going to knife him to death -- until she didn't. Now I see the Ed Sheeran freakout online and it pisses me off.
Stupid cameos like that are what I expect from Alf or Full House or some other excessively shitty pandering show. I don't need or want that in GoT. If Ed Sheeran's translucent ass wants to be on a TV show, there are plenty of special guest slots open on Two Broke Girls, Big Dud Theory or any of that other schlock. I'm glad I didn't know who he was during the initial viewing, it would have ruined it for me. What's next, a special guest appearance by Ozzy Osborne as the Mad King in a flashback sequence? John Stamos popping up as a lost Stark uncle? I hope that's the last of that shit. It cheapens and demeans the show.

Exactly. I had no idea who they were talking about making a cameo and I thought she would just kill the entire group, because apparently she's a Ed Gein type Ninja now who will become the Queen (wearing someone else's face).

Well damn.
In a show that's known for great scripts and epic sets, tonight's episode set a new standard. Fantastic.
Just beautifully done. Majestic and brutal at the same time.
So much emotional and physical resonance.
This is why I watch shows like Game of Thrones, Sopranos and Breaking Bad. Of those three, all my favorites, none has done epic in the way GoT has.
Great episode.
I've watched it three times now. That's rare, particularly for a mid-season episode.
EDIT: Got to come back to this and add more. That a show can be this long in the tooth and still generate that level of absolute epicidity (I know that's not a word, but there isn't one for it...) is amazing to me. I may be wrong, but it doesn't appear that its going to sputter to the end like so many great shows (Sopranos in particular) did.
Even more amazing is this show's capability to make you simultaneously love and hate the same character. I love the arc of Jamie Lannister. He's not a bad guy, but he's not a good guy. You don't want him to fail, but you damn sure don't want him to win either. Bronn is a great character, but do you want him to die at the hands of Danerys or live to see another day -- even if it means he has to hurt her? Every character is flawed. None are deserving of the throne. Except maybe Cersei. Nothing is clear cut or black and white.
The last ten minutes of this episode were simply stunning. When Danerys came riding in on the dragon it was magnificent. Unreal CGI (something that wouldn't have been possible in the early days of the show before it grew flush with cash). I can't remember a show that ever had me conflicted like that. I had sympathy for each of the characters in that particular arc -- Tyrion, Bronn, Jamie, Dany and the dragon -- even as they were on opposing sides.
Just a great show.

I envy people like Nook who just started season 1.

This thread should be renamed "Game of Thongs."

Watched the latest episode last night. Thought it was incredible. I read last week that there was a theory going around that Jamie was going to end up on the iron thrown. Guess not.
Still not sure he is dead though.

Of all the people that we will watch die, I hope Cersei's will be slow and torturous. She is one evil bitch.
I agree.
But of all she's shown herself to be the most capable, most ruthless, most willing to do whatever it takes to own the seat.
May not like her tactics or nature but she would rule with absolute authority.

I think Jon ends up on the Iron Throne when it's all said and done.

So. The little naked bleach blond has a dragon?
If they were to kill her off, could the show go on?

They won't kill her until the end. Unless the final season is all about the white walkers. Which I don't think it will be.

Too bad she can only ride one into battle.
However if the theories hold true then she, Tyrion and Jon can all ride one.
I don't know who I want to win the throne any more.
Cersei - Hate her, but she's a stone cold survivor who's dealt with and dealt out more crap than anybody on the show. I don't think I want her there, but she's fought hard for it.
Jon - Hasn't proven himself to be a great leader yet. People follow him, but he's single-minded.
Dany - Love her. Would dothraki all over her. What claim does she have, though, other than the lineage and that she was gifted dragons? She's vindictive, arrogant and other than slaughtering the slave traders, not very calculating.
Jamie - He's like the classic WWE star. By turns heel and face. Just when you think he's gone good, he does something bad. Just when you think he's gone bad, he does something good. In his own way the most interesting, conflicted, tortured character in the show. He's one of the few who has a moral compass even if it does point south sometimes.
Tyrion - Would be the best choice, but he doesn't know it. Would be a fair and judicious king, but would be susceptible to overthrow. Can't see him ending up there, but he's one of the few I predict will survive to the end.
Arya or Sansa - Please. Arya is a baby Cersei in the making. Everything she knows she learned from the worst. Arya doesn't have the proper gravitas.
Varys or Littlefinger? Both want it to establish a new line of succession, Littlefinger more than Varys. I don't think it's a stretch to see Littlefinger there, but Varys will be dead before the series ends.
King Bronn? Ha!
King Tarly? I'd like that, but his arc is going to be limited to showing the way to beat the Whiteys.
Bran? Dislike his character entirely except for the fact that he's filled in the blanks on some of the history.
Theon? Doesn't have the balls for the job.
Who else? The chick from Dorne who's in the dungeon? Euron (he'll be dead shortly)? Yara? RickDickon (haha)? Brienne? Ed Sheeran?
Will any of it matter? I think that's the thing. At some point they'll probably have to dispatch with Cersei and have Jamie, Jon, Tyrion and Dany working together with advice and counsel from Sam to defeat the White Walkers. At that point I'm not sure I'll care any more.
The whole White Walker thing has been like a sideline story that has nibbled at the fringes of the show. If in the last four or five episodes it becomes the central focus of everything, that's going to feel a little like a cheat. It's not what anybody tunes in to see.

So Kaos, you don't think Jamie is dead?

I don't think he is either.
And to answer your question about Jon/Dani hooking up...
Last episode of this season.

I do not.
Every major character has been given a dramatic sendoff. Even Margarey. While the battle was epic, if they were going to kill him I think they would have let the dragon torch him, maybe as he threw a spear down its throat. I can't believe the last we see of Jamie is him floating to the bottom of a lake.

Well, if I was you, I'd do something about it. I would get up and redeem myself in the eyes of my father, my Maker, and my coach!

Interesting thought. Will be fun to watch.

Well damn.
The Bran/Sam conversion seemed tacked on. But it's all out there now.
Six more forever.

Or a sequel.
The white walkers wipe out everyone but Cercei & Jamie's kid and Jon & Daenerys' kid and all that's left is two products of incest to incest with eachother. The entire GoT series was an elaborate setup to a new series "Planet of the Retards".
On that note, George RR Martin clearly fucks relatives or wants to. If I were his sister or his female cousin or something, I'd be looking over my shoulder.

That movie was already made.

Would appear the blue flame destroys at about the same nuclear rate as the red. You know who I feel for? Rhaegal. He's kind of the forgotten dragon of the 3. Won't be surprised to see him take out Viserion once Drogon goes down.

He didn't write that scene. He's two books behind.

Pretty sure he's still delivering the beats the writers are going off of, including that.

Perhaps.
I thought I'd read somewhere that he was only tangentially involved at this point. Could be wrong.
Jon plugging Dany is a turn I'm not happy with.
I was never comfortable with the normalcy with which bro-sis relations were portrayed. The Jamie-Ceresi thing bothers me. I know it's a TV show, but people as a whole are dumb. They become numb to things that were once taboo after they see it enough. I do also understand, however, that if you go back to medieval times such couplings were thing among nobles so it sort of fits the genre. Still don't like it. There was no real need to carry it there other than to, I guess, impregnate Dany so she can bear the Wolf/Dragon child who will one day unite the kingdoms or some shit.

That's the whole thing. Neither one of them know. I promise if you had no idea that Dani was your aunt, you would have knocked on that door too. I think it sets up a major conflict when they do find out. It will be interesting to see what happens when Dani finds out Jon is the rightful heir.

I might even if she WAS my aunt. There's something about that little thing.

I got some theories, but not enough time right now to post them. Later, perhaps.
