Here in the U.S. of A, tomorrow starts the new season of "Game Of Thrones." Anyone into the show?
I've read a number of the books but it looks like the TV series is deviating from the books' storylines. That's a good thing for me. Us readers will be seeing some new, exciting, different things.
Most favorite character: Arya
Least favorite: Tyrion
-
no
so go away
-
Least favorite: Tyrion
Yay! A contentious opinion from Space!
:o
-
is tyrion the short fella?
-
Well Heno, last night I told you Space doesn't look on "everything else", then a few hours later, his first post here. Do you think he saw it as a challenge. ?
-
he'd be as stupid as we think he is if he did
nah. hes just trying to be nice. hes just not very good at it.
-

Uhh, I feel your post is nonsense due to the fact that I have posted on the "Everything Else" section before.
-
so first four episodes leaked online
probably a ploy to ensure they get the end of the season right
can't think why else in this day and age something like that would not be stopped
-
I was until I saw a deomn smoke baby coming out of a vagina. Then it completely turned me off.
Arya was obviously the best! ;)
-
Was thinking about watching it but too many spoilers on here

You should, Pol. it's a cracking good show. It isn't all demon smoke babies and vaginas.
-
Will see how much the box sets are
-
This is a bit predictable, but:
Not as good as the books.
-
Yeah - 4 episodes leaked so I've got shitloads of spoilers AND I've read all the books ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well I was gonna watch it but it seems pointless now....
-

It seems that the TV show and the books are going to be quite divergent now, according to all reports... especially as the next book isn't due out until Christmas 2016 at the earliest...
So your 'book spoilers' don't hold any weight anymore! Ha!
;D

What have I been missing????

What have I been missing????
Dragons, a brilliant dwarf, frontally naked women, frontally naked men, incest, decapitations, crushed skulls, multiple usages of the word C***, ice zombies, these great things called direwolves, too many great actors to mention, HODOR, the most evil little shit ever put before a camera, castration, torture, someone getting their skull crushed by boiling gold, 'the strangler' and too many other awesome things to mention. And, yes, a demon smoke baby coming out of a vagina.
Get on it! ;)
-
What side is it on ?
-
Sky, but don't try and jump on it half way through, gotta watch from the start or you'll be lost...
-
Oh, I'll have to wait till it reaches us luddites on terrestrial TV, I don't have Sky or anything similar. Only because I watch too much telly as it is.
-
What side is it on ?
the right

In the 5 seasons there has been untold horribleness, torture, death, sexual violence, blood & guts and all the rest of it (none of which is a patch on the shit that goes down in the books). So how come the "sacrifice" in the last episode has created such a fuss?
I don't get it. :-\
-
i think because people are told its wrong
compared to what that bastard in the north done then dying at the stake is not even remotely horrific
the dragon scene at the end end reminded me that this is fantasy which has been hijacked by programming for purpose. i've never read the books but i believe i am about to try. i think everyone here should read a chapter each and send me the audio file and then i can enjoy my two favorite things simultaneously

I think it's partly the 'murder of a kiddie' thing and partly because that little girl was one of the few truly innocent / sweet characters in a show where most of the people can be described as 'varying shades of bastard'...
It was rather clumsily done (Father, I'll do anything for you, or whatever she said) and done for maximum outrage... I still fell for the manipulation of it all and was pretty shocked by it. I'm afraid I've only read the first book but even that far, I can see that things have been toned down quite a bit, particularly regarding the ages of the younger characters. I don't think they'd have gotten away with Dany being so young in regards to what happened with Drogo... :-[
I do like GOT a lot and can't wait to see what they do with the finale next week...
-
Heno, sometimes I wonder what you are talking about but I have to say the idea of a "chapter each audiobook" sounds brilliant ;D
I try to remember with GOT that it is mass entertainment and as such a lot has to be explicitly spelled out and by what sort of lowest denominator do they have to put those recap bits at the beginning for? May as well just say "This is what's gonna happen this week" Then again maybe it just reflects the intellectual ability of the average viewer in the primary target audience for the TV channel.
So yeah, some stuff is ham-fisted but it's pretty fracking good nonetheless :D
Children have been slaughtered in previous episodes and nobody batted an eyelid. There was a scene in one episode where numerous children were killed by a wildling raiding party but 'cos a sweet princess got killed - outrage?
Why?
-
so who has read the books?
-
The season finale tomorrow night... can't wait.
-
i can't believe it is over
and this is the first real finale where they are apparently going to tee up the next season. not sure i like that.
anyway, can't wait to see it also ray
-
Tonights episode, no spoilers but...
:o
and quite a bit of...
:'(
and possibly a bit of...
>:(
Be interested about what you guys think...
-
Thought I'd reactivate this one, seeing as...
(a) - the first episode of season 6 is confirmed as being 24th of April this year...
(b) - a new, brief teaser is online... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxI8aPISq8I
and (c) - this 'Jon Snow going to a dinner party' clip still makes me laugh... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BabsgCQhpu4
;)
-
Think that as long as we accept the tv series has deviated from the books should still be as good as it was (and seriously did anyone really think they could kill off JS :D ?). Certainly looks like Bran's storyline will come to the fore this season.
-
Only three weeks to go until new Game Of Thrones...
:D
-
Watching season 5 again, in readiness for 6.
-
Careful what you click on ................. seems the premiere for episode 1 was shown last night and spoliers are already out there. I've already somehow managed to get nearly spoilt but hit the back button just in time before my eyes read it. Think I managed to get outta there with just a hint of spoiler :(
-
Latest trailer here...

'I drink and I know things...' story of my life!
Only a week and a bit to go! :D

Rather a good first episode of a sixth series, I thought... SPOILERS AHEAD!
Much of it reminding us of stuff from the fifth series with minor updates, but that's to be expected with so many characters...
Not enough Imp, but loving Brienne (when can I get a 6 foot two warrior woman to pledge her allegiance to me?) ... laughed out loud when the new Khal guy was utterly unimpressed with Dany's increasingly long list of pretentious titles... Cersei's subtly played reaction when the boat came in and she realised her daughter was dead (love Lena Headey and I might actually be growing some sympathy for Cersei...) but what's happening to Arya, my favourite character other than Tyrian..? I want to adopt her! :'(
Wierdest moment, for me, was seeing a sick c-word like Ramsay actually being saddened by the death of Myranda and then requested that her body to be fed to his hounds... he's one f'd-up fella!
Good start to the sixth season, IMO.
-
For the longest time I have refused to be drawn into this - but then gave in and started reading the books - I have almost finished the last one and have to say....LOVE THEM!
Now I am not quite sure about watching the series...would have to find it in English somewhere - I caught glimpses of it on German TV and...they have even translated all the names! :o Nightmare! :P
-
Dread to think how confusing name changes must be :(
TV is different from the books but no less enjoyable.
Plenty of places out there to watch in English - shout if you want links ;)
-
Crikey :o
Fantastic, brutal and bloody but 8)
As always a brilliant episode 9
-
True that, it was breath-taking! One of the best episodes ever!
Loving Sansa slowly turning to the dark side... ;)

Gotta say, I think episode 10 might get have a bit of 'killing major characters off' vibe to it... how else could it follow the Battle Of The Bastards?
My theory (and of course, we've come off the books now, so it's anyones guess... ;) )...
Cersei knows about the wildfire buried beneath Kings Landing, enough to destroy the whole place. She doesn't have the 'trial by combat' option anymore, so she's basically screwed. I think she'll try and set off the wildfire in a bid to escape... but bear in mind, in the last season, there was that prophecy where the crazy lady told her all her children would die before she did... :-\
I'd put money on the idea that she'll accidentally kill her only remaining child, a few other characters and possibly herself in a big BOOM of green fire... it would certainly be in the general spirit of GOT, wouldn't it?
Of course, I could be wrong, but if I'm right... you heard it here first, fellow Throners!
:D
-
Kinda crazy the way it all ends - Darth Vader coming down and forcing them all to be storm troopers in the next star wars movie. Oops the no spoilers thing
-
Agreed, Pol... and the Reavers were created by the Alliance, Bruce Willis was a ghost and then a couple of big fuckin' eagles will rescue the surviving GOT characters and we'll get four or five dull cuddly endings to the whole thing...
:D
-
Loving Sansa slowly turning to the dark side... ;)
Thought that tiny hint of a smile as she walked away was brilliant :)
-
No spoilers, honest...
Well, that the season finale watched, no more THRONES for about nine months... :'(
Magnificent. Maybe doesn't have the utter rush of last weeks episode, but blimey, this alternated between totally exhilarating and a total punch in the nuts. I have to say, I liked this season far more than the last couple...
Apparently, there's only 14 more episodes to go... read somewhere that the 2017 and 2018 seasons will b only 7 episodes each... :-[
-
I read that they might finish it with a movie 8)

That would be pretty cool! A guaranteed audience of millions around the world, couldn't fail! Although good luck explaining 'the story so far' to any newbies who wandered into the cinema... ;D
-
It's official... GOT won't be back until Summer 2017 and there will only be 7 episodes...
:-[
-
Thought I would bump this. I've avoided reading any of the posts to stay clear of spoilers . Thought the first two seasons were excellent. I'm nearing the end of season 5 n things have slowed down but just about enough action to keep me interested.
My favourite character, got to be Tywin lanaster , favourite female kylisi (spelling?) the dragon queen
-
Know what you mean, mate, my attention did start wandering in seasons 4 and 5, but s6 does ramp up the pace... certain characters reunite and it looks like it's moving towards a conclusion. Best season yet?
And the 'Battle Of The Bastards'... truly awesome.
-
The last two episodes I've watched of season 5 have been really good (episodes 8 & 9) Spoiler alert - couldn't believe it when that evil cow burnt that wee girl with the grey scale on her face. Thought the wedding at the end of season two was excellent, very unexpected
-
Spoiler - awe big hodor gutted
-
Big hint Pol - pay attention to Brans flashbacks ;)
-
So made it through to the end of season 6 , the big fight in episode 9 was excellent.
Oh well just need to wait July 26th ?? for season 7 to kick off, looking forward to seeing more of the army of the dead n the white walkers , is kalsie too much a good goodie to win , what about Jon snow ?
-
Interesting choice of song for the season 7 trailer I thought ...... :o
