Winter Is Coming: "A Game Of Thrones" HBO Series

Its the best of the series so far. Jon Snow gets a lot better as the series goes on, Daenarys, meh.

Hey so Game of Thrones on this weeks cover of Entertainment Weekly.

States for season 2 they're pushing Jaimes story in another direction (giving him more scenes in the show I assume) since he was hardly in book2 being a captive and all...so I wonder what they're going to do with him?

Also, catching reruns of season 1 it just occurred to me that there was a weird guy-love type scene in there and when I first saw the show I recognized neither characters but now that I've read the books I know who both are supposed to be (Renly and Loras)...but have I missed something? I really don't remember either character being in the same scene as one another >.> I don't remember Renly in book 1 at all...and I just last night read a scene with Tyrion who briefly mentions the two in book 3...Have I not read far enough? was the tv show trying to introduce a story arc early?

I feel like I might have missed something important...I dont particularly like reading Catelyns POV and I tend to zone out when reading her stuff but that seems to be when Renly and Stannis would appear...>.>

The stuff with Renly and Loras was just much more blatant in the series and implied in the books. A few characters regularly allude to the relationship and you can see it evidenced from their actions, but the books didn't contain the scene you're thinking of from teh series.

You didnt miss anything important with Renly.

Can we just go straight to season 3 thru end as soon as season 2 is over? IMO book 3 was best ;p

edit:

This don't seem to be in here yet...

I cant watch those yet because of my location.

K so with jaime.....major spoilers undercut

Ahhhh why did I click you're spoiler ><
2 weeks-ish left till season 2 /excite
I'll probably end up reading the books before this season ends

Ive read practically every spoiler and then I go "CURSES I DIDNT WANT TO KNOW" and then I keep reading spoilers :( I have no self control

edit: watched the videos...so much footage, its like Ive seen the series already. I love being able to pick out scenes..so excite.

<<< Excited as well, I cracked out on the series over summer when the first season started. Got all my books signed when he went on his tour and everything.

Highly suggest reading the series to anyone who's on the fence, the HBO seasons are amazing at keeping to the script, so you could just wait for those but as someone who doesn't typically read in my free time, I couldn't put the books down.

...and x9000 at the "flipping ahead to see chapter titles when I'm not sure if a particular character makes it out of a dire situation" XD

I have all the audiobooks,and I've just started listening to them during cardio sessions in the gym.Started on the prequel and what used to be "counting the seconds cardio" now flies by without me even noticing it and doing more than I intend because I'm so wrapped up into it. 2/3rds of the way through "the hedge knight" atm

it will be a good year for games and series, walking dead coming on october, now these, then true blood, and others, you seen six feet under or the sopranos? those are the top high quality series from hbo for me :D specially the sopranos, the script and the acting is amazing and the camera angles/filming style

Read an article in Game Informer about the GoT game they're developing, sounds good but I'm skeptical as to how they'll pull it off with all its glory. GRRM is helping in the scripting though so there's always high hopes! Release date is escaping me atm, but if I tried I could probably find the issue laying around here somewhere...

game of thrones, hunger games, assassins creed, legend of korra, kingdom hearts..

and I thought with Harry Potter done with the world would be boring!

Xenoblade Chronicles
Dragon's Dogma (a big one)
diablo3
guild wars2 (super hyped up)
resident evil6
halo4
the last guardian (another big one)
metal gear solid
silent hill 8

im so annoyed how crapcom turned resident evil from a horror survival game to > action genre -_-

had a good time with RE2 and R3

what does that have to do with game of thrones?

You haven't finished book 3 yet?
Oh god... Finish it asap ;p
End of Book 3 is probably more Epic than book 1 XD But that far in you probably hit most the omgWTF?! parts




Technically it's "A Clash of Kings" now :o

;D

Its taking me frikken forever! albeit, I only read it like 1-2 hours before I go to bed. Last night I only made it through 77 pages :(

Im on page 777/929..soooo cloooose

The excitement is killing me! I need more Gendry/Arya/Jaqen screentime but I totally have the hots for Gendry.

the preview after the season...gurrrrrrrl..lemme tell you, the moment Jaime calls Brienne "wench" on screen I am squealing so frikken loud!

bouncing off the walls!
