I just finished season 1! I'm a huge fan now!

Yanick said:He hasn't finished writing the series yet. The last two books to come out were supposed to be 1 book, but it got so big that he split it into two.
Greg Bernhardt said:5 books so 5 seasons?

Curious3141 said:I think it's quite safe to get attached to Tyrion Lannister. He's far and away the most interesting character on the show. So I don't think either George R R Martin or the HBO scriptwriters/producers are going to be willing to get rid of him for a very long time.
If they do it just to defy expectations, I predict it will backfire. Droves of people will simply stop watching.

And you know, if I really get pressed, I've already established that red comet. I can just have it hit Westeros and wipe out all life.
Borek said:Any source for that? Red comet theory has backing from GRRM himself:

I am sure he said that with tongue in cheek, still, these are his own words.

Greg Bernhardt said:Half way through season 2 and I can already see the story is already slowing down and widening. Still good though.
At least you've only got to wait a couple of months. I finished season 2 ages ago. [Frustrating wait...]Greg Bernhardt said:Finished season 2! Guess I have to wait till Feb for season 3 to get one Amazon Instant. Great cliff hanger at the end with the White Walkers!
strangerep said:Oh well, at least The Desolation of Smaug will hit my cinema in,... oh good,... it's just over a week.
I hope they can improve over the first installment.
I guess I don't mind if they deviate in a way consistent with Tolkien's underlying intent and mythos. I was ok with some of the deviations in LoTR, but not all of them.1MileCrash said:[Desolation of Smaug] is awesome, lots of action. People say it deviates from the book, but they always are lost for words you respond with "who cares?"

If it's the scene I think you refer to... well,... hmmm,... I guess you like cars with large trunks?1MileCrash said:[...] not to spoil anything, but there is a part involving the Targaryan girl in the third season that was just awesome
Isn't this normal?Greg Bernhardt said:Right now my feeling is the book is vastly superior.
Greg Bernhardt said:So funny thing. I watched the first two seasons and then read the third book. After reading the third book I am now 2 episodes into the 3rd season and I don't like it as much. So much is changed and missing. The first two episodes end and I feel like nothing has happened. Right now my feeling is the book is vastly superior.
As a longtime LOTR books fan, I totally disagree. Books are books and films are films, and there ain't nothing in between. Besides, there are better character developments of, say, Frodo, Merry and Pippin in the films than the books have to offer.strangerep said:Isn't this normal?
E.g., leaving out the special effects, the LOTR books are superior to the films.
