ASOIAF / Game of Thrones (SPOILERS INSIDE)

[Dalven]

I have to agree with Sirkin that I'm disappointed they left out Ned's visions/dreams as well as many of the others. I guess I can see why it would be difficult to put them in properly but the foreshadowing of a lot of them is really cool, particularly the House of the Undying stuff. Although I think it'll be in this series that Dany does her conquering. I also think that that in the 4th series a lot of the ironborn stuff of A Feast for Crows will be included to keep the continuity easy for the show.

I watch this with a friend who hasn't read the books and he was appalled when Ned dies. The anticipation for the Red Wedding is getting unbearable.

i thinking the dreams would reveal Jon Snows real parents. the Rhaegar vision they SHOULD have showed. i wanted to see Rhaegar =(

Dany already did her conquering. at the end of last season she locked that guy in the vault, stole his shit, and went to buy a ship. thats the ship that takes Dany to Mereen / slaver's bay. i imagine we wont see alot of dany in season 3.

also i dunno if you read back a few pages, but book three is getting cut in half to make Seasons 3 and 4. so it will be tricky to see how they do the iron borns. hopefully they take your advice and do something to keep them in the picture for the show, they didnt play a big part in first half of book 3.

will be fun to see how they film books 4 and 5 since he wrote them like an asshole and they take place simultaneously.

I guess you're right that Ned's visions could be somewhat too revealing visually, however they provide tantalising hints to Jon's parentage that probably won't be revealed until the final book. Without these if the reveal ends up being what its widely predicted to be it might seem a bit out of left field.

Aye I was aware of the split for seasons 3 and 4 though - what I was thinking was as a lot of the Iron Born stuff chronologically takes place during A Storm of Swords and they will likely use it to beef up the fourth season. Hopefully they just film the 4th and 5th books as if they are one and don't bother with any of the split business - a whole season without Tyrion is unthinkable!

Anyone ever gone through the books one POV at a time? Something I was thinking of doing when I go for this years inevitable reread.

people that only watch the shows will QQ hard when they learn jons parents if the R&L theory turns out to be the truth. Ned sees dying Lyanna in his dreams, if we actually were shown the dream on the show, it would confirm what we all suspect.

i will not watch a season without tyrion. if i had known he wasnt in book 4 i may have not read it lol. and i hope 100% you are right about how they film books 4 and 5. i expect A LOT of traveling to be removed. that seems like their first and favorite thing to cut out of the books for tv adaptation.

ive thought about the PoV thing. but i just havent been able to sit down and do it. would be interesting im sure [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
