Re: Game of Thrones and other TV shenanigans
Finished A Storm of Swords. Was quite good. (:

Wasn't too impressed with the new TWD. But I did rewatch seasons 1&2 and found that season 2 was better in a marathon sitting.

It's no wonder how they scream
Like you and I they must have some temper

And I am dreaming of them on the plains
Dirtying up their beds
Watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads

And how dare that you send me that card when I'm doing all that I can do
You are forcing me to remember when all I want is to just forget you

If the tiger shall protect her young then tell me how did you slip by
All my instincts have failed me for once
I must have somehow slept the whole night

And I am dreaming of them with their kill
Tearing it all apart
Blood dripping from their lips and teeth sinking into heart

And how dare that you say you'll call
When you know I need some peace of mind
If you have to take sides with the animals
Won't you do it with one who is kind

And if the hawks in the trees need the dead
If you're living you don't stand a chance
For a time though you share the same bed
There are only two ends to this dance

You can flee with your wounds just in time or lie there as he feeds
Watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed

So for those of you falling in love keep it kind
Keep it good
Keep it right
Throw yourself in the midst of danger but keep one eye open at night

Not really. Thinking this season has a high potential to suck.

Well so far this appears to be the case. Thoroughly disappointed with pretty much everything in the episode.

Re: Game of Thrones and other TV shenanigans
Haven't seen it yet, but assuming they had to reintroduce and set up future events. In a story this complex, that probably would be difficult. More when I see it.

What I really meant was that Storm of Swords was just so good and utterly jam packed with material that even the fact they are now not doing one season for one book, there's just so much that can go wrong. Also, I don't have any clue how they deal with Danaerys story from here. It's a tough one cinematically.

Re: Game of Thrones and other TV shenanigans
Well, concerning one particularly difficult written-to-visual conversion problem in Danaerys's story:

It would obviously be pretty futile to try and disguise Barristan Selmey as a completely different character, so they didn't bother. He's introduced as Selmey to being with, and Strong Belwas has yet to appear (if he ever even will).

But they could. Give him a beard and let the audience titter and laugh because they know but Danaerys doesn't. Still leaves most with no idea to his motives for showing up with her. Just because we recognize him doesn't mean the characters in the show have to. That's one real annoyance I have with this show is they really are attempting to dumb it down for the viewer so you clearly get everything rather than be surprised with subtlety or complexity.

You give the audience a lot of credit, ACt. I think a lot of viewers would be on the same page as Danaerys and have no idea who he is. Considering there are a boat load of characters introduced like all the time and the break definitely gave room for people to forget his face. If not for the like 5 minute recap in the beginning of the episode, I probably would have forgotten what his character looked like, to be honest. Having read the books, I would have known that it was him, but still. I think they might have been able to trick the audience for at least a moment.


Anyone else disappointed in Tyrion's ownership of a nose still? Or is that just me?

I suppose, though I'm not sure I would have liked that any more than making it clear to begin with.

I found the unknowns of Arstan Whitebeard were a large part of the character's appeal, but now that I really think about it there could still be plenty of mystery. Questioning his motive and intent will be just as easy and not really change the "can he be trusted?" feel about him, whether we know who he is or not.

Still, it would have changed the viewer's impression of interactions between Danaerys and Arstan/Barristan, and that's the part I'm not sure I'd have liked. Can't really explain why, though.


This also has me wondering how they'll change the siege of Meereen, since there won't be the combined reveal of Arstan's true identity and Jorah's informant past to get Danaerys all pissed.

Re: Game of Thrones and other TV shenanigans
I finally got around to watching the first episode (second will most likely be tomorrow)

My only real complaint was about Selmy and his introduction. Daenerys was attacked by a child warlock, not a Sorrowful Man.

Re: Game of Thrones and other TV shenanigans
Also saw the first episode tonight. A lot of little things but nothing major. Didn't mind it so much as some were talking about - I guess it lacked a real bang and they are sticking with some simpler plot lines to keep the viewers OK with.

Shae is probably the most puzzling for me. Not sure what they are setting up with her and Sansa given what is going to happen.
