I'm rewatching the first season, and I have to confess, I don't mind Ros at all.
― Nude Gingrich (Leee), Sunday, 4 March 2012 22:23 (twelve years ago) link
I can see why she's there, they needed to explain plots/backstory. I hadn't read the books yet when I watched the series and I didn't find her annoying.

Jon Snow looks more and more like Dave Gahan. This is not a compliment.

To me he comes across as a guy trying way to hard to be dashing and suave.

So I was re-watching Doctor Who's "The Time of Angels" and Father Octavian's archly suave and dulcet brogue really reminded me of someone... and sure enough, he's played by Iain Glen!!
― Nude Gingrich (Leee), Wednesday, 7 March 2012 06:33 (twelve years ago) link
I realized that Iain Glen would be a perfect narrator for a nature documentary, which, come to think, is exactly what the Dothraki scenes are.
― Johnny Favre (Leee), Sunday, 11 March 2012 22:16 (twelve years ago) link
Iain Glen is from what is commonly referred to as 'classic' but in reality is saying lines wistfully and looking into the distance,

Just finished Book 2 - whew. Was afraid I'd procrastinate right past the new tv season start.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 20:14 (twelve years ago) link
Would this be a bad time to let you know some stuff from book 3 is expected to be in Season 2 of the tv show?
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 13 March 2012 20:21 (twelve years ago) link
They're going to need to spread the SoS material around a bit, so freaking much going on in that book.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 20:24 (twelve years ago) link
surely they have enough stuff from book 2 to squeeze in to 10 episodes without taking anything from 3?
― Number None, Tuesday, 13 March 2012 20:25 (twelve years ago) link
They don't want characters to be absent for long stretches like they are in the books, especially as events happen simultaneously.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 13 March 2012 20:26 (twelve years ago) link
trying to avoid spoilers obviously but i didn't think that started happening til much later
― Number None, Tuesday, 13 March 2012 20:30 (twelve years ago) link
It amplifies later but is happening a bit in book 2
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 13 March 2012 20:31 (twelve years ago) link
not a bad time at all since I purchased Book 3 as soon as I finished Book 2, I am underway. And more motivated, I might be able to blow it out before tv starts if I put my nose to the grindstone
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 20:37 (twelve years ago) link
Are you finding them a slog? I breezed through both 2 and 3 in about a week each, about to start 4.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 21:00 (twelve years ago) link
no I just fell off the wagon with reading in general lately, through sheer laziness. I love the books so far, the end of book 2 made me v teary
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 23:43 (twelve years ago) link
zomg u will be like o_O for 3!!
Btw, just finished episode 8 of my rewatch, and everything the Greatjon sez is so much lolz.

I can't afford the blu-rays (;_;), so I'm rewatching on HBOGO with the interactive features, and everytime there's a little video of Martin explaining some family history I can't help but lol.

I mean, incredibly well thought out backstories - even if I have issues with his take on chivalry - but you know...nerd expounding on his world like its real.
will add that I never really appreciated Arya and Ned's relationship, but it might be my favourite on this rewatch. "What were you doing in the dungeon?" "...chasing cats."
― stay in school if you want to kiw (Gukbe), Thursday, 15 March 2012 07:21 (twelve years ago) link
Ned and Arya together were so great...his fake-disapproval of her behaviour when he saw so much of himself in her, it was beautiful
Reminds me of Atticus & Scout in To Kill A Mockingbird, ie Peck and Badham in the movie.

okay, i just watched the whole season this evening front to back. this was good!

We should poll the characters at some point, so many good ones to choose from!

I was thinking of doing a poll of the POV characters from the books at some point.

called my sister to tell her i was watching this and
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
I tell her I'm only on episode four and the first thing she says is oh man i can't wait for the dragons in season 2, no spoilersi'm like dude, that was a big spoilerand she's like yeah but it was on the cover of entertainment weeklymoral: my sister can be a jerk sometimes
― Wesley Crusher: Teenage F#ck Machine (forksclovetofu), Monday, 19 March 2012 14:22 (twelve years ago) link
yeah but she said no spoilers

if you couldn't figure out this was going to have dragons in it you're a fucking moron
― thomp, Monday, 19 March 2012 15:52 (twelve years ago) link
sorry, that was overly hostile
I'm finding Feast for Crows a bit slow so far after the insanity of SoS.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Monday, 19 March 2012 15:53 (twelve years ago) link
uh, i knew there were gonna be dragons, just didn't need to spend the next seven episodes waiting for dragons to show upor for ned to die for that matter. damn you internet
So if i wanted to just jump into book 2 right now, having done nothing other than watch the first season, I could do that and keep up with the plot on paper just fine?
― Wesley Crusher: Teenage F#ck Machine (forksclovetofu), Monday, 19 March 2012 15:58 (twelve years ago) link
Yes.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Monday, 19 March 2012 16:00 (twelve years ago) link
I don't think you should though
― Number None, Monday, 19 March 2012 16:01 (twelve years ago) link
Book 1 and S1 are essentially exactly the same, except the book has more background detail, lots of extended scenes etc. But I still really enjoyed reading the book despite having seen the show relatively shortly before. You also get more insight into the characters' thoughts and motivations.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Monday, 19 March 2012 16:02 (twelve years ago) link
