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

Not to be a pedant or anything (screw it this is the GOT thread) but they're called the Night's Watch.

sorry I brain farted on the name

gross

have you never heard of a brain fart before?!

Pretty sure Dan's heard of a brain fart before.

lol

that was a pitiful attempt of a joke

i really had catelyn pictured as robin wright penn

I like that ...she would be good. Am warming to Cat now though.

And I'm growing more fond of Sarah Connor Chronicles not-terminator lady as Cersei...at first it seemed like she had one facial expression and just kept tilting her head from side to side but I'm seeing it a bit more now, the Cersei-ness of her

that kind of sad conversation she and robert had about their marriage really went a long way to humanizing her

definitely

psyched for the inevitable videogame of thrones

there's a preview of it in the new pc gamer (us)! looks like a paint by numbers RTS

i like the game of thrones world but not enough to want to play a videogame/card game about it. mostly i just want to know wtf is happening

btw just wanted to announce in this thread that i finished the first four books, anyone who is considering reading these really should, i dont really like high fantasy and thought these were siiiiick

'high' fantasy, bonghits amirite.

ian ill thank u to take ur drug humor elsewhere

lol ian

Weed Is Coming

howland weed

green dreams iirc

so i am 2/3 of the way thru the book and i be like damn

Jesus christ do you all just read extremely quickly or . . . ?

I re-read all four in like a week recently. Shit is addictive.

I could see if that if you don't work or do something where you can read on the job but otherwise that just seems nuts. I might just be a slower reader though. idk.

i only started reading in earnest a couple days ago, with the biggest chunk getting knocked out today

I don't work lol

I'm still noodling through bk 2...I'm not always in the mood to read all the time but I try to read at lunchtimes & bed, afternoon on the weekend. sometimed I'll go full tilt & do a book in a day or 2, but slower pace is my norm lately

evan if u think 2/3 of book 1 is "damn"........

Just u wait son.

Just u wait

stoked

like i look back on the first book and it feels like a totally different series

holy shit

so basically i need a clash of kings for my kindle asap

like i look back on the first book and it feels like a totally different series

Yeah, the first book is a table setter. A SETTING FOR CROWS.

need more Arya

This. :\

Didn't care much for this episode tbh for which I had to wait a FULL WEEK to watch so the mounting anticipation might've set me up for a letdown. I usually like the political intrigue stuff but everything kind of felt inert to me, perhaps I'll re-watch the episode in lieu of reading the book.

ahahahaha

cersei one is hilar

haha that one's my fav too. that lady makes some crazy fuckin faces

man i wish i had hbo

her faces are nuts - there's something strange about one of her eyes maybe.

lolll at Varys' little...moue. Does that count as a moue? I've always wondered.

Cersei has a slanty face like this :/

yeah varys' is my second favorite. i just had to google moue but it looks like it qualifies!!

Carcetti has excellent eyebrow skills

So I see some threads are coming together. DAMN.

Was Dany trying to hatch the dragon egg, or making an omelet, or unconsciously trying to see if she was the Dragon?

hatch, iirc.

Viserys scene in the finale was played perfectly, just how I pictured it.
