A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

[Dinner]

I get my Blu-ray version of it today, woot! (I haven't seen it, but read the book ages ago)

They're worth the price. I for one will likely buy it just to get the extras which weren't on the original HBO broadcast. I honestly didn't see the series when it first came out and only noticed it when it came up on my HBO on demand list. Once I had seen the first episode I literally played one after another until I'd worked my way through the entire season.

I now have the Blu-ray! The extras on this thing look mightly impressive as well!

You needed worry about the horsey/sheepy folks anymore; there will still be a handful of horsey survivors around, but the things you found most bothersome about it (horse this, horse that, horse horse horse) are long gone.

Though, the end of A Dance With Dragons leaves that somewhat open.

They did the same thing with lord of the rings. The first movie was spot on other then deleting a few unnecessary scenes (Tom Bombidill, etc...) just to make sure the faithful didn't complain too loudly but the moment it became a successful they totally ****ed up book 2 and 3.

They filmed them at pretty much the same time, and they abandoned some of the more asinine ideas (like Arwen at Helm's Deep).

[Lorizael]

We're unable to reassure you on that front, as WWV is (pretty much) a TV-only character.

I WIN!

Next challenge. See if Woman With Vagina can go two consecutive episodes without getting her muff out for reasons entirely unjustified by the plot.

I'll be watching. If they wipe out the entire Horsey/Sheepy tribes (with the exception of Iain Glen and Princess Perkytits) in episode 1, all will be well.

Difference being that Tolkein (at least J.R.R.) was dead while George R.R. Martin is still alive and an exec producer. So hopefully that'll help.

By and large, it is aces. Dinklage is ****ing amazing, as is the girl they cast as Arya. There was a rather mystifying decision to create a role of a whore, but otherwise, ****ing brilliant.

As long as they don't **** around with the plot too much (1st season I hear follows pretty closely, but there is talk of second season moving some things from 3rd book over - RW better not be one of them!)

Mystifying? The answer is in the "visitors found this page by searching for" section.
