ASOIAF / Game of Thrones (SPOILERS INSIDE)

[Sirken]

i enjoyed the finale.

love the "meat pie" foreshadowing. love that they explained guest rights finally.

FUCKING LOVE that Tywin essentially says, "the baby is fussy and needs a nap, escort the king to his room"

really like how they are setting up Shae.



But next season.... omg next season.. Oberyn Martell & Gregor, Purple Wedding, Tywin and Tyrion, Shae, Baelish & Lysa, Alayne Stone, Wildling attack from south, Ygritte. Wildling attack from north, Stannis. Arya & the hound.

oh fawk, im excited

i feel bad for non readers a lil bit here. the first half of book 3 (everything up to the RW) is slow as hell. its a bunch of assholes walking around talking to each other. then the RW happens, and the time for talking was over.. the entire second half should be action packed (except for Dany who has a lot more walking around to do).



but i feel like non readers kinda got cheated this season.

Dany doesn't just have to walk. She has to constantly shit her pants in the desert while doing that walking!

nope! they are recombining 4 and 5 so and the TV series will follow a chronological timeline (as opposed to following geography like the books did). and quite honestly, im glad to hear it.

heard in an interview with D&D that they think the story from books 4 and 5 will be told in 3 seasons on HBO. which means in 4-5 years, the show will have surpassed the books. because theres 0% chance of GRRM finishing 6, and completing book 7 in four to five years. simply 0%.

(i say four or five years because i gotta believe theres a chance that each book (4 and 5) could still be given two seasons each).

Really? I heard that season 4 will be the second half of book 3 and some of book 4. Season 5 will be book 4 and 5 combined and streamlined. Also that they want to finish the series in 8 seasons.

Season 4 (2014) - Parts of Books 3 and 4
Season 5 (2015) - Parts of Book 4 and 5
Season 6 (2016) - Book 6
Season 7 (2017) - Parts of Book 6 and 7
Season 8 (2018) - Book 7

Book 6 - Late 2014 or early 2015
Book 7 - 2017 to 2018

It'd be pretty weird to have the TV show span a decade when only like a year passes in the story. Imagine a 25 year-old Maisie Williams playing Arya? The biggest obstacle to the TV show will be the insane amount of time that passes between book releases, and the existence of the show only makes the delay longer as the author has to spend a bunch of time on things other than writing. There were like what, seven years between two of these books? It's a really good show, but I think they'll have a hard time continuing it in the long term because they chose a series of books that hasn't been finished yet and is being written by an author who is notorious for taking for-fucking-ever to release new volumes.

sirken, dont you dare say anything about GRRm dying on us before this damn series is finished.

you, me, and every other ASOIAF fan is thinking it, but dont ever speak it lest it may come true.
