HBO adaptation of Game of Thrones - will this be just for nerds? (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

that Roose casting is p spot on

He's a p great actor too. Lotta Irish TV, primarily comedy oddly enough but he's got the dramatic chops as well.

ohboy this morning i just bought the 4-book kindle package (to read on computer/iphone because i do not have an actual kindle (yet?))
so far today i have gotten no work done

i'm inclined to say just read the first three and stop, then wait for the last 4 to be finished to read together.

ohboy this morning i just bought the 4-book kindle package

We bought the books, but then my (visually handicapped) husband realized he wasn't able to read the small letters. So I urged him to buy the Kindle package (for the ipad). He's so happy. :-)

Hi, I'm Syrio, and thees is my-a brother, Luigi!

underrated line from the storm of swords epilogue--

Why buy a cow when there were udders all around begging to be milked?

spoilers dude! instead of paying attention to the nuances and character development of the second season, i'm just going to be waiting for Winterfell's milk shortage crisis. and I'll already know their strategy to resolve it!

srry i spoiled the dairy internship scene

a game of curds and whey

finished book one! in a week-long fit of reading-addiction that caused me to neglect work and social events. and four more books to go?? i need to set some self-imposed limits here. so glad i didn't discover this series when i was in grad school; ultimate procrastination tool, especially when i have it synced to my iphone too! always be reading...
starting book two now...

Oh man book 3 is wtfomgham.

read that as "Whatthefuckingham"

sheriff of

Robin Weigert (Calamity Jane off Deadwood) is Brienne of Tarth

No she's not

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/game-thrones-gwendoline-christie-joins-209311 <--- this person is brienne

oh wait, i just read a tweet that linked to an article about character comparison or something like that my bad. carry on, nerds.

Neil Marshall will be directing an episode entitled "Blackwater", if that means anything to anyone.

So one of GRRM's stylistic choices that rilly bugs and at this point (middle of book 4) shows every sign of increasing is the way he peppers scenes with dialogue with a character's internal monologue, like,

I'd like to shove a dirk up your butt. "My Lord is too kind," sez someone or other.

I was a bit disappointed he never did a one off Gregor Clegane POV where it was just the word "kill" for eight pages

finished book 2!
a friend dropped by earlier this afternoon and it was all i could do not to kick her out so i could finish reading
so much fighting! whew

Wait till book 3. (I think it's ILX's consensus fav?)

oh i totally didn't even take a break and read right on into book three. i am a little freaked out about the oncoming zombies tbh.

so far book 3 is AWESOME
except for the part where i too often neglect work and social life to read it

i like how GoT is so anti-happily-ever-after
according to kindle, i am 72% done reading books 1-4! i think i'm about halfway through book 3...

which one is ygritte? 'you know nothing, jon snow'? that one?

someone should rewrite game of thrones just using dolch words

yeah that's ygritte, the 'lucky' one with red hair

lol @ that poster

book 4 is kinda meh so far, maybe just in comparison to the non-stop action of book 3

No, I think book 4's mehness stands alone, though it does hit some high points.

Book 4 is 'here's what it's like for the little ppl' if u just take it as that it's v enjoyable
