Game of Thrones

[George Cumby]

I can't wait until the direwolves all come together to join into a huge ass-kicking robot. The books just go to a whole new level after that.

I really liked the part in the fifth book when Ned Stark's headless corpse rises from the grave, jumps behind the wheel of the Gravedigger and runs over the armies of his enemies whilst Cersei gives him road-head.

Oh shit, I forget to type "spoiler alert".

Sorry!

What'd everyone think of the finale?

Aaron Rodgers talked for 5 or 10 mins about Game of Thrones to Rich Eisen. It was a cool interview. AR is a big Kaleesi fan, and who isn't.

As a whole, the 3rd season (by far) was my least favorite season. It was slow going. Episode 1, the whole thing was pretty much catch up for people who haven't seen the first two seasons. After that, it was really slow-going. The only truly great episode was the one where Kaleesi took down Astapor. Other than that, it was a lot of lead in to potential throne battles.

I imagine season 4 is going to be epic as there are a ton of open ends that need to be tied right now.

As far as the finale, um, what even happened again? The White Walkers are coming and there is all kinds of shit up in the air right now. I have to watch season 3 again. I'm a little lost right now with there being so many side characters. I have a good feel for the long-time characters, but some of those side characters, I don't even remember all of their names.

That's the biggest problem with the books and story overall. It's so massive it's hard to keep track of who's who and what the hell they have to do with anything.

If you look in the back of the books they have a list of everyone and who the are loyal to. They are listed by family.

I know. But when that is 25+ pages long, it means it's too damn hard to follow.

Yeah. That's the downfall. The upside to this author is he gets so many people involved, he can do anything. If Kaleesi got accidently burned to death by one of her dragons, the show could still go on. That's the beauty of it. It gives him all kinds of flexibility. The downside is, we can get a little lost. I've watched season 1 and 2 at least 3 times each. Some episodes probably 5 or 6 times just because I've watched with other people when it was their first time through. I keep my mouth absolutely shut. This is meant to be experienced a certain way. The Author obviously poured his heart and soul into these books and has amazing talent. It's a truly great experience for me and I wouldn't ruin that for anyone else.

A random side-note, one part of the show I find amazing is the introduction. It's a great show intro. It's like listening to the Fox football intro, gets your blood pumping. But it serves another purpose. It's the layout of Westeros and the surrounding areas. A part of this story is understanding the politics and logistics of battle. The map is a needed component. That intro, I don't know if people realize, but it adds to the depth of the show. Sometimes I'll watch the intro 2 or three times, just to get a better feel for locations. The author has things make sense, as far as what places are hot-spots for power. Understanding the layout helps to understand motivation and potential pitfalls.

That map also shows what is going on in the world. In seasons 1 & 2 Winterfell was a big castle and the white tree. Now on the preview it has smoke and ruined buildings with the white tree.

Everyone's still watching this show right?

[mraynrand]

walk of shame?

[Freak Out]

This season has really disappointed me.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Who else is aroused and sad at the same time that the final season is about to start?

Long live the Imp!

[Deputy Nutz]

APB, I hate when I know its the last season of a series. If I don't watch it then it will always be new.

Word.

But I gotta watch it. Gotta get it over with so I can finally march to Venezuela. Hopefully this last season is as memorable as Super Bowl 45, not lame, ala the Lost final season.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I fucking hate the one episode a week ordeal. Release everything for us
to binge watch, yo!
