Game of Thrones *Spoiler* Thread
There's been some recent confusion with the old spoiler thread, so I'm kicking off a new one for tonight's premiere. This is going to be the one for folks who've read all the books. So anything anybody might want to talk about is in bounds. Suffice to say, if you haven't read the books, you'll probably want to stay out of here until you do...
I'll bump the old spoiler-free thread shortly in case anybody's interested. For future reference the link to that one is here |

Iconic scene in jeopardy due to Croatian uptightness.

But they budgeted a location shoot, so that's gonna be a renegotiate. ANs they scouted the location and were very attached to it. It'll probably work out, but it is a new headache.

Very few time does GWWM allow us to savor some comeuppance from a powerful asshole. Can't steal that from the fans.

Wow. I guess I'm not terribly surprised - there's not much more of his storyline available compared to the others at this point. Still, it's going to be a bit jarring to not have Bran in the picture at all, not to mention how much Isaac will age in real life during that time. |

His story on TV is way ahead of the books.

Finally got desperate enough last night to join a streaming movie and tv show website last night so I could start watching season four, 7 episodes in and its been a great season so far.
Was sooo glad Joffrey finally got killed off, he was at his most insufferable during that episode, that guy always nailed his role, great actor to make me hate him so much. Poor Tyrion, always the blacksheep of the family, and having read some spoilers on yahoo I now know that his champion loses to the Mountain in the trial battle... but I'm almost sure he'll wiggle out of his fate somehow, atleast I hope he does. Poor Sansa goes from the frying pan into the stew pot. Khaleesi is slowly turning into a villain. I've come to the conclusion that RR Martins favorite tactic to keep the drama ramped up is to shit all over the good guys constantly, he loves to piss me off with that device. The episode, either two or three where the Hound and and Arya spend the night in the farmers house cracked me UP... when the farmer goes off on the long prayer before dinner and the Hound interrupts him with "we ask the stranger not to kill us in our beds tonight for no damn reason at all" Just an incredible show, HBO really knows how to pick 'em. |

I don't know about 'way ahead.' Basically at the same point, I think. DwD shows some things with the children we haven't quite seen yet.

It's clearly worked. Without George R.R. Martin, I don't think we see Mark Lawrence or Joe Abercombie or maybe even Steven Eriksen have nearly as much success as they have experienced. If people think Game of Thrones is harsh, I can only imagine how they would react to the Malazan Book of the Fallen.

Abercrombie or Lawrence would be your easiest reads. Eriksen is a hell of a lot of work... you have to REALLY enjoy reading to enjoy reading that series (but I think it's worth).
