Alph Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Exactly!! Apart from Breaking Bad I don't think I've ever needed a happy ending so badly! And you never get one! Not read the books so even the season 1 ending was gutting. That bad lip reading thing is hilarious. Proper funny!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Well if you're not reading the books then you have some real treats to come - the series goes from strength to strength. I think the only character who I have any degree of confidence around in terms of them not getting off'd is Daenerys, but even that's just a guess! I remember reading the end of the first book, and what happened to Ned, it was an absolute genuine WTF moment?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Just caught up. Wish I'd given it chance the first time round now. It's brilliant. But depressing sometimes. Sometimes you just get desperate to see something good happen to someone you like! I have never, ever, seen one minute of one episode. Are reruns available?

StaffsRam Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 ^^ Not sure. Sky start showing series 4 in April so wouldn't surprise me if they re-air the earlier seasons before then to ramp up interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you just get desperate to see something good happen to someone you like! Or something bad happen to someone you hate. That ******* Joffrey needs a proper spanking. I like the fact that in these videos there's a lot of clips of Tyrion bitch slapping him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're showing 3 episodes at a time on Sunday nights to catch up quick. Edit: actually they're on series 2 episode 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading the end of the first book, and what happened to Ned, it was an absolute genuine WTF moment?! Yeah. I'm desperately clinging to Daenerys to stay good and alive. It's weird who you find yourself liking and hating. How it changes. Like Jamie. Even rooting for Theon a little bit!! The bad guys are vile though aren't they? Proper vile. Then everyone else are shades of grey! It's suprised me just how little action there is. It's a soap opera really! But you just don't notice. It's too brutal as it is!! It's not safe to like anyone is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 No, you're right, no one's safe! The other thing is, the way that they role out new characters (in the books and the TV series) I'm not entirely sure we know who the ultimate villains, and good guys, are. I have to admit, I like Jamie - at the start he's a proper pantomime villain, but he develops a lot from that. Theon - develops as well, but down a different path, and I can't stand the little scrote. If you think Theon gets it bad in the TV series, it's a heavily sanitised version of what happens in the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsRam Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Tempted to get the books. Not read much good since The Wheel Of Time series. Are they well up there? Yep, the books are well worth checking out. Interesting that you mention the WoT series - I can foresee a similar problem with the GoT books that happened with the final few WoT ones - ie. the author died before he could finish the story. From memory, I think GRRM has given the salient plot points of the story, through to the end, to the guys behind the TV series, so we should be alright. GRRM tends to take an age getting the books out - the last one took six years, and the one before that took five. There's still another couple planned, and GRRM's publishers have said that the first of those won't be out before 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not going to get to the penultimate series and then put it on a 5 year hiatus while he finishes the last book. Arya would be about 25 by the time they come back for the last series.

TigerTedd Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 This I like when I first heard they were making The Lord of the rings trilogy. From that moment I couldn't wait to own the extended addition box set of the three films. From that moment I had to wait about 7 years or more to get it. In fact as soon as I saw it in the shops I paid the full £70 for it, despite knowing after 6 months it would be less than half that. Couldn't possibly wait another 6 months. So I'll need to wait at least another 5 years to see the conclusion of ASOIAF. I can't take it. But at least it should be a helluva ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know how they expect to do that. They've already split the third book into two seasons, and there doesn't seem like there'll be much chance to NOT do the same with the subsequent books/seasons. The last two, unpublished novels, are supposed to be at least 1500 pages each, which again, they're going to struggle to cram into single seasons. Unless they're radically going to take a different path with the TV series from the books going forward, there's no way on earth they'll cover everything in seven seasons.
