Game of Thrones - SPOILERS INSIDE - Page 6

**Requiem** · 08-21-2011, 05:03 PM

Finished the 1st book last night and started on the 2nd. Good stuff.

**Requiem** · 09-16-2011, 02:39 PM

Already about to finish the 3rd book. This book was fucking craaaazy. Can't even count the number of times I laughed out loud at something that happened/was said. Toward the end I was fucking glued to it. So happy when certain things happened, and legit surprised at certain things.

Fantastic book. Like 25 pages away from finishing it I think, and I already picked up the next one.

**Requiem** · 09-17-2011, 02:51 PM

I remembered. But nobody used it.

And this one was still on the front page.

G · 09-17-2011, 03:12 PM

how many books are in this series, and are they finished with it or making more

**Requiem** · 09-17-2011, 05:52 PM

5 books are currently out, 2 more are planned to 'finish' the series.

**Buzzkill** · 09-26-2011, 12:34 AM

Damn, just bought the first three. I have like 3670 pages to go now. Gonna take me like 5 months.

Has taken me like 3 days to get thru 180 pages of the first one.

**Brigstocke** · 10-01-2011, 02:09 PM

I've just finished 'A Feast for Crows' not as good as Storm of Swords in that not as much happens but I still cannot see an ending, I want this fictional world to be real and neverending.

Buzzkill, Theres something coming up soon that you will like about Varys. He's as slick as Littlefinger in some ways.

**Requiem** · 10-01-2011, 02:20 PM

I'm like 80 pages from finishing A Feast for Crows. Definitely not as good as the previous book, but I'm looking forward to the next to see what happens from the other perspectives.

**Brigstocke** · 10-03-2011, 07:12 AM

Just got a hardback copy of Dance with dragons, it's heavy as a Narcissus, I'll be able to legit do a 'gunshow' by the time I've finished this.

**Requiem** · 10-03-2011, 07:10 PM

Already really like the beginning of Dance. Also got the hardback, and wish the store had had hardbacks of all the rest so I'd have the whole collection in hardback. It is pretty nice.

**VSG** · 10-21-2011, 12:26 AM

I have finished the season, and here I am. Just popping in to say

I really don't understand why they changed a couple of the characters. Even just minor things like a name.

Doesn't make sense to me.

If Alton Lannister takes the role of Cleos Frey, that would make sense

Also, I finished the current books. It is both awesome, and terrible that I have to wait about 7 years now to see this show/series finished. It was said by Martin that the 3rd book would likely be split into 2 seasons.

Yeah I can't imagine them fitting all of Book 3 into a season...it would just be too much omfg packed into 10 episodes

Did DWD make up for the slog of AFfC?

**Requiem** · 11-21-2011, 03:58 PM

Yes, I really liked it. Not that I didn't like AFfC, as it introduced a lot of new perspectives and such. It was just slow, and it wasn't focused on the characters I wanted to hear about for the most part. DWD was a whole lot of what I wanted to read about.

**Buzzkill** · 11-21-2011, 03:59 PM

That is great news

**Shaved Monkey** · 11-22-2011, 10:59 AM

Yeah, DWD was pretty tremendous. In some of the books certain characters have a lot of chapters but they still feel kind of stagnant, but in DWD I thought that every chapter was actually moving the story forward in a significant way.

The next book better not take as long to come out as DWD did though.

**Brigstocke** · 02-15-2012, 04:12 PM

Just bought me a new T-Shirt.

Sahara Knite was an extra in this. She used to escort and pisses on people.

**BigDaddyCool** · 03-23-2012, 09:48 PM

Love this series. I got at stark coffee cup and a greyjoy custom title.

I'm up to the third book as well. Watching the bluray extras.

**Requiem** · 03-23-2012, 10:19 PM

Nice, didn't know you were into it.

Book 3 is incredible. Didn't know the bluray was out already.

I pre-ordered it, got the stark key chain. It is amazing. I finally bought a bluray player just for this tv show. I had a different, but I left it at my girlfriends house cause it was easier at the time, and all the blurays I own before GoT have dvd's with them. But I got tired of watching this at my gf's house because she won't sit down and watch the first episode with me, so I won't let her watch any of the later episodes.

**Requiem** · 03-23-2012, 10:42 PM

Why won't she?

It's really a fantastic series.

She wants to and would watch it over here. But if we are watching it at her house, her son would most likely come in and probably while there are tits on the screen.

Anyhow, I understand why they have to change things from book to screen, but I am disappointed the Hound doesn't get more play in the show.

**MVP** · 03-26-2012, 01:58 PM

Just started watching this show. Loving it so far.

**The Destroyer** · 03-26-2012, 02:02 PM

**Corporate CockSnogger** · 03-26-2012, 02:24 PM

Kinda forgotten some bits from season 1. Might have to rewatch if I get the chance, or maybe just hope my memory will be refreshed while watching.

XL · 03-27-2012, 06:10 AM

Think I'm gonna go buy the blu ray tomorrow. Don't really know all that much about the show but I've heard good things and at the bargain price of �25.50 for the HD discs, who can argue?

**Corporate CockSnogger** · 03-27-2012, 08:35 AM

Where's that from? Might pick them up myself.

**VSG** · 03-27-2012, 09:23 AM

In the time between the two seasons I read all 5 books and am an ardent fan now. Just wish I didn't have to wait another 2-3 years for the next book

Requiem Posts: 19,298	So SPOILER: show Littlefinger is way more slick than I gave him credit for. Thought he was kind of predictable for a bit, but wow. Getting Lysa to poison Jon Arryn. Becoming a Lord and then going to the Vale and murdering her. Also, Jon Snow is a BADASS. Knew he wouldn't take Stannis' offer to be Lord of Winterfell. He went through too much shit for his brothers to just turn his back on them. Alliser Thorne is a prick and I hope Jon Snow treats him as nice as he possibly can just to spite the fuck and make him feel bad for ever doubting him. Samwell Arya killing bitches. She is going to be one COLD bitch by the time she's grown. Really liked all of her chapters. She has gone through one of the biggest transformations of all the characters, except maybe Daenerys, except she has sort of 'fallen into' her role now and hasn't changed a whole lot from the end of the first book. Really liked Ser Barristan showing up to fight for her. Had been really disappointed that he hadn't shown up in the books after walking out of the King's Court, and then BOOM out of nowhere, he saves her life and Jorah realizes who he is. Good shit. Also have no idea what Tyrion is going to do now that he has to run. Liked that Jaime released him. Lots of 'oh shit' moments in the 3rd book. It's great how the author manages to do things without them being predictable. Like, you legit have no idea what's going to happen.. like at the Frey's wedding. Knew shit was suspicious, especially with Grey Wind getting pissed the second they got there. But then shit just went down all at once, and people were dying. Robb and Catelyn. Was like OH SHIT WHAT?!?!! Good stuff. One of my favorite series now. Book 4 has started off dreadfully slow so far. Didn't really give a shit about 'the prophet' or the 'captain of the guards' at all, but that's all I've read so far.
