Groove Fetish Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Just loving this series- going to start the books shortly- they are on order from amazon. can't wait. The first season had me on the edge of my seat and loving the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamilton Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Am I the only one who thinks that season two is jumping all over the place a little too much? It also seems that it would be harder to follow for anyone who hasn't already read the books.Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groove Fetish Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 totally- watched the first episode last night and thought the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I din't read the first book, but was able to follow along with the show easily enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelter Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 They seem to have taken a few extra liberties with the plot so far ... I'm thinking Stannis in particular ... but so far it's quite enjoyable. I'm re-reading the second book right now so it's all quite fresh for me. I also think Stannis and Davos were cast backwards.

I also think Stannis and Davos were cast backwards.Not to mention that prostitute chick who now works in Littlefinger's brothel. She wasn't even in the book. I wonder what the point of adding her to the story is (other than a lot of extra sex scenes), when they could have used the time devoted to her to better explain some of the other sub-plots. Maybe the writers needed a way to reveal more about Littlefinger through action/dialogue, since he's not a point-of-view character in the novels.

bouche Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I like it and didn't read the books. While there is a lot going on, they're doing a fine job in moving the stories forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelter Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I think Ros (the red-head prostitute) works ... she gave Theon's character a chance to develop beyond being a "ward" while in Winterfell, they showed her with Grand Maester Pycelle, which was a great scene, now we get more perspective on Littlefinger through her. I suspect she'll be the one to help reveal some of these secondary characters throughout the series. I wasn't sure at first how I felt about Stannis and Melisandre having sex, since he is known to be only "dutiful" in bed with his wife, but I think I know exactly how it's going to tie in to the next couple of episodes. I think it's an assumption on the part of the producers that GRRM wasn't quite explicit about. For those who have read the book ...I'm assuming whatever she conceives with Stannis will be what she uses to kill Renly, in that odd "giving birth to an instant murdering ghost" scene in the book.

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 It's been an interesting set of deviations from the books. They do a good job delving into the horrors that the books do - to the point where, having read it, I don't really find some of the really intense scenes bear repeated viewing. But the streamlining of the story to fit the medium has been working out creatively, imo. Peter Dinklage as Tyrion continues to rock, and the depth of the performances by the others too is amazing. It's just frustrating in the end to have to look forward to a finite but very long term resolution of all of the plotlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelter Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Yep. It's always interesting to see what the non-POV characters are doing, at least from the writer's perspective. I like how they've dealt with Arya. Renly & Stannis I'm finding a bit frustrating, particularly as they just randomly met in the middle of a field with no context. But yeah, Tyrion is the highlight of the show for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelter Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 This week's episode was far and above the best yet. Watched it twice in a row. Plus, http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/05/29/game-of-throne-season-3-cast/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
