New HBO Series: Game of Thrones

[Sweeney287]

Thought the last scene (wont say what happened just in-case people haven't watched it yet) was an improvement on the books.

 

Next week is last episode? Well I'm going to miss Daenerys, the milky-skinned beauty.

 

More than made up for the break when season 2 hits the air with the last scene though.

 

Cracking set.

[Al Campbell]

Great show. I started on the books yesterday as I can't wait a year for series 2.

Books are always better than the show/film anyway... You'll love 'em!

Ok... You got me there.

Already done.

[Ted]

Not gonna read the books, as I quite enjoyed going into it blank and being surprised by the events.

 

Absolutely gutted I've gotta wait a fucking year for season 2, though.

 

October and Walking Dead season 2 can't come quick enough.

[Crouchie]

Was anybody else surprised that Bronn is played by Jerome Flynn. Didn't recognise him at all as the guy from Soldier Soldier or those shite cover duets.

 

Sibel Kekilli who plays Shae was porn star Dilara in Germany.

 

Her early on screen roles were a bit different from big budget American TV. See below for link

It can.

 

Hopefully that'll vastly improve for the second season.

[The Dude Abides]

I don't know how anyone can resist the urge to read the books after watching the TV series. I got started after about the third episode. Great stories, and so hard to put down once you get into them. Though, I have to say, two and a half books in, and I'm starting to worry that there'll never be the kind of pay off that I'm looking for.

 

And what's going to happen to the TV show, the fifth book comes out soon, after a six year hiatus, so even if the show is still going for the next five or six years, there's little chance George R.R. Martin will have finished the last few books by then.

 

It can.

 

Hopefully that'll vastly improve for the second season.

 

Agree with that. Really dug the first episode, but sadly it got progressively worse after that.

Love me tv shows and that'd ruin that a bit. You get used to having to wait for more.

Fully agree on that one.

Any of you motherfuckers get the new book today? I ordered it off Amazon and they only despatched it before!

October and Walking Dead season 2 can't come quick enough.

 

That depends, are they going to fuck up the story any more by making changes? Are certain characters still going to be alive by the end of the season? I hope not.

Not yet, I'm only ten chapters into A Clash of Kings, the prolouge was ace, I can see Stannis is going to be my favourite character. Looking forward to it though, finding it hard to stop myself from reading reviews of it though!

[silverlining]

Well, I've read every Walking Dead collection published so far, so that isn't an issue for me. Can't wait for Season 2, although I will admit that the end of Season 1 was a bit skew-wiff. Ace, though.

 

Have just re-read Game Of Thrones after 15 years, and it is a great book and only serves to illustraste what a magnificent job the team behind the TV adaptation have done so far.

 

Will start on Clash Of Kings tonight, a book I've had for a decade but never read.

[greenoak]

I just got the four books as audiobook download

 

Loving the books. Each book is about 30 hours.

 

After having watch the tv I can wait to get into book 2.

 

Great book and series

[mlwilliams]

Comic series.

[Unrighteous]

Comic series.

 

Oh ok... I started to get a little too excited.

[silverlining]

Whoa whoa whoa whoa.... wait just a fucking minute. The WALKING DEAD is a book series/!?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

It's a series of graphic novels. ie comics.

[Crouchie]

Looks like some of the casting is now complete for Season 2

Stephen Dillane - Stannis Barartheon

Carice van Houten - Milisandre

Liam Cunningham - Davos Seaworth

Natalie Dormer - Margaery Tyrell

Gwendoline Christie - Brienne

[RedKnight]

Natalie Dormer - would. How small Anna Friel? Is she a hobbit?

[Reacher]

About halfway through the first book and I am very impressed at how the tv series kept true to the novel for the first half anyway.

[The Flâneur]

Very much enjoying the latest novel, anyone else reading it yet?

[Einch]

Yep. Its been so long since the last one though that things are bit disjointed for me and I can't find the older books anywhere at home to work out what is going on.
