Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.
A few quick ground rules:

If you have NOT read "Storm of Swords" season 3 is going to blow your mind.

Correction: some of you illiterate bastards haven't read the books. But yeah; this isn't the thread to discuss them (or make not so subtle "jokes" that refer to future stuff... I'm looking at you vailpass).

i know they finished filming season 3. Arya (forgot her real name) tweeted that she was on the way to do the last scene of season 3. So we may be see'ing some commercials for it soon.

Thought I would bump this since Season 3 is getting close. Anyone plan on a re-read, rewatch, or watch and read for the first time before season 3 gets underway?

Yes.
Watched them both. Reading 2 now, brideowanian is done with 3 and has pretty much said "holy shit". figuring on rewatching season 2 after finishing the book. Quite a bit different so far in book 2. If you'd have told me 2 years ago she would have read these books, you'd have won a hundred from me because I'd have taken that bet. |

Brideowanian is right. Book 3 is the Bombay. Read it ASAP!

Book 3 is awesome, my advice is read it before watching season 3.
For me, it's easy to watch the show after reading the books because it is visual and fast paced and there are enough differences to keep you interested. On the other hand, it's harder to read the book when you already have seen the show and know the story, maybe because reading takes so much longer. |
