New HBO Series: Game of Thrones

[Duff Man]

I like it, but some of the acting and dialogue is still terrible. Like, Hollyoaks terrible. I was hoping they'd have sorted that out for the second series.

[Mr Nando]

You take that back, TAKE IT BACK!!!!!!!

 

I shall not!

 

Instead of Ros we could of had Iron Hand as the commander of the city watch or even Wex (Theons squire), who is actually incredibly important to the books

letting Manderly know that Rickon and Bran are still alive and that Rickon went to Skaggos, which helps to set up some pretty awesome cannibalism and Manderly pledging his support to Stannis if Davos can bring back Rickon

 

or we could have screen time for Selyse, Shireen and Patchface (Seylse important in book 5) and Patchfaces prophices being so awesome and correct.

 

 

Also Stannis having sex with Melisandre is ok as it is heavily implied to in the books, but the reasons are completely different.

its to create the shadow babies that kill Renly and ser Cortnay Penrose not for a son

[Cardie]

See that all sounds boring as shit compared to some filthy wench or the blonde dragon lady getting bummed.

[Edward.]

She is only 13 you know.

[Cardie]

Not on the telly.

[Section_31]

Was Mr Nando advocating ditching Ros? No wonder he's red is all I'll say.

[Edward.]

Not on the telly.

 

Always in the back of your mind though, maybe it's just me.

Never read the books so it might be just you nerds.

[Edward.]

It was a very romantic moment.

Not read any of this thread but I've just had this show recommended to me by a friend.

 

Few questions:

 

1) What is it about? Judging by the ad's I've seen its about war and its set in the past, something I like. I don't want any spoilers but like a brief overview would be appreciated.

 

2) What era is it set in?

 

3) Any good websites that stream it?

 

Rep on offer for those who help.

[Edward.]

I stream it from the same site as the link in The Walking Dead thread. I prefer the books to be honest. I think there has been a complete download posted here today.

The Sopranos with swords

It's set in a different world, Westeros, but for all intents and purposes it's middle ages. There were 7 seperate kingdoms on Westeros and they were all united as one under the control of the Iron Throne. The story follows the battle for control of the Iron throne.

 

Plenty of swords, politics, tits and a little bit of magic thrown in. The books are a lot better than the series though. Not sure about streaming but you can download them all in perfect quality here : EZTV - TV Torrents Online

I'm sold.

 

I wouldn't agree with that. Just comparing their first seasons; in my opinion, The Sopranos was much funnier, the dialogue was much better, the acting was on another level and the characterisation was incomparably superior - a character like Ned Stark would make David Chase weep.

 

It is good and worth watching, but it would be totally out of place among the second and third tier of great television, never mind the very best like the Sopranos.

[Mr Nando]

Pretty much.

 

I just think there is more than enough actual sex in the books that they don't need to add extra in..... especially at the expense of real characters.

Mainly political intrigue lots of fighting(not much has been shown so far in the series though, pretty much like Rome) set on the back drop of the eternal battle between ice and fire (magic).

 

Matins world is fantastic most of his characters are grey ie. not good or bad.

 

He has no qualms about killing of main/important characters.

 

 

 

2) What era is it set in?

 

Level of technology in Westeros is around that of 15th Century.

War of the Roses was one of the eras in history that inspired Martin.

 

3) Any good websites that stream it?

 

The best website for all links imo is Tv-Links : Free Movies links, Watch Tv Shows links online, Anime, Documentaries

 

best links are gorillavid, putlocker, sockshare in that order.

There isn't a great deal of fighting(battles) in the books really. Well 3/4 of the way through 5.

There is when you compare it to the series.

 

We missed the Whispering Wood and the the Battle of the Green Fork last season.

 

So that is two battles to er none.

 

This season we will be getting Ser Amory Lorch vs Yoren (which I hope they don't change to a fight with the goldcloaks) Battle of the Blackwater and the Fist of the First Men

[Edward.]

The Whispering wood was hardly mentioned in the book in terms of a graphic description. I meant no real rolling battle scenes described in the books. I remember the battle of the Green Fork wasn't that were Tyrion was the hero? Probably very expensive to recreate on screen.

[Kevin D]

Really enjoyed the last two episodes; the lazy caricatures have all but evaporated and they're finally getting down to some proper multi-faceted characterisation. Wish the episodes were a bit longer, though.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I like it, but some of the acting and dialogue is still terrible. Like, Hollyoaks terrible. I was hoping they'd have sorted that out for the second series.

 

The fat lad is a shockingly shite actor.

[Mr Nando]

Another wasted opportunity for some decent action in the series.

 

It's amazing how Martin can describe the fight at the empty holdfast so well and yet the tv series manages to shit all over it.

 

 

Now i'm even more pissed off.

 

Ayra, Gendry, Hot Pie and Lommy in the wilderness was one of my favourite parts of a clash of kings. I suppose they needed the time for extra random tits.

[Section_31]

Some hard to please cats around these days. You all need a diet of Scott and Bailey with a dash of Eastenders to remind you how fortunate you are, HBO-come-lately motherfuckers!

[BringbackBiscan]

Book in not translating to the screen exactly like the book shocker.

[Glass Kop]

I thought the battle at the end was great. Yoren is one badass motherfucker.
