Game of Thrones
Forums › General Discussion › Game of Thrones-
What are your thoughts? Hate it, love it? I just finished the second book, but I can't watch the TV series because I don't have HBO. So tell me what you think of Game of Thrones. Let your opinion be heard throughout the forums of Westeros!

I finished the book series (Song of Fire and Ice) a month or two ago. Amazingly great. Always shocking. Maddening. Brutal.
Watched both seasons. The adaptation is just excellent. Surprisingly well done. Very fun seeing how the pictures in my mind match the show.
All I can say to you, oh boy. Just keep reading...
🐺🎌For the North!🎌🐺

One of the things that drives me crazy are the never ending descriptions of the family coat of arms and banner detail. Obsessively descriptive. Repeated endlessly.
I do understand the importance of them in a medieval context (ally or enemy coming?) but ugh... yawnsville. 😲
-
I love it! I read the first book and it was fantastic and I've watched some episodes here and there. I can only watch them at my grandmas house because they have xfinity on their iPad.
-
Yeah. The book series so far is amazing. I own the first four and I'm waiting for A Dance with Dragons to come out in paperback. I root for the North too, but I like Daenerys too. Theone really pissed me off in A Clash of Kings. Did you hear the rumor that George Martin is writing a sixth and seventh book?
-
I also find myself incredibly fascinated with Jaqen H'ghar.

Great literary series, but the show adaptation is just wow. Amazing depth for a one-hour, ten show per season show. It's arguably the most visibly appealing shows ever made. Go rent season 1, it's been out on Blu ray and DVD for a few months.
It's also where I got my name for TW 😁

I'm naming all my turf after GoT references now. I already have Harrenhal.

Oh yes. I thought it was an 8 book series but could be wrong. I worry though as the last one took him five years or more to churn out...✂I root for the North too, but I like Daenerys too.

George R R Martin is a god but I do not think he is immortal.😰
Daenarys has always been my favorite character. I love her. And Jon Snow. From the beginning i loved them for some reason. Tyrion makes me laugh. The rest are Lanister scum. I agree with you on Jaqen. I was so intrigued by him n told my SO, "Way too light on Jaqen. More more more!" He's portrayed perfectly in the show. So is Daenarys.
I detest Joffrey with this ferocity that is shocking. I seldom can muster enough feeling to hate a character like this. Ha
-
Khal Drogo for the sexxxy. Eye candy! 👀

Joffrey disgusts me. I dislike Cersei too, but I also feel bad for her in a way. Lysa Arryn irritates me too. Turpin is funny as he'll and is clever beyond compare. Daenerys is my favorite too!💉Ꭰя💊Ꮪuηshιηε💉 wrote:

Oops correction. My SO informs me that George RR Martin plans 7 books, not 8. I have not validated this online and that it came from the author himself, though.
On the other hand, when he wrote book 4, it was so long he was forced to turn it into book 4 and 5 so... *shrugs*
It's going to be a long time until the next one I'm afraid. There is now a giant hole in my life. Westeros...😢
-
What I like about the books is that it isn't the typical "Good vs. Evil" storyline. No one has pure intentions, so you kinda have to dislike everyone. But one the other hand, some characters are just too awesome to not like. Also, it is a realistic book series. Good doesn't always win (as shown in a clash of kings). I'd love to see more of Essos and Southros in the next 6 (hopefully 6, if not, 3) books. Asshai and the Faceless Men (Jaqen!!) interest me the most so far.

Fantastic assessment. Totally agree! I cannot wait to have you progress a bit more in the books. I'll be pm'ing you to discuss stuff!

Everything I picked up for a while was tossed in a few pages:
"juvenile"
"stupid"
"who cares"
"I'm bored already"
"no depth"
"whaaaa whaaa blahhh blahhh"
etcThe bar has been placed higher for me, I'm afraid. I did just find something the other day finally but it took a while. A month or two! Pfffft.😊

I got up to the RW and I dont care to read the rest of the book or watch the show anymore. This was becoming my favorite show up until that part.

I will gladly discuss with you! I'm on vacation now, and I forgot to bring A Storm of Swords with me😱😭😭. I'm so glad to find someone with my taste in literature! It's the same with me too! Every other book I read is nothing compared to A Song of Ice and Fire.💉Ꭰя💊Ꮪuηshιηε💉 wrote:
