Alan_R Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 You'll like it. Books are better but the TV series has been not bad. Understatement. I dont doubt the books are great (desperate to read more of the books but personally waiting until after TV series so I dont spoil it for myself) but the TV show has been the best thing made for TV in a long long time.

Smack Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Same. Seems a bit... Underwhelming thus far... Just finished the episode where that dick with the blonde hair got gold poured on his head by the barbarian guys. And for some reason his tidy sister doesn't feel the heat. I was particularly whelmed by the golden crown, although it sounds like a despicable act of a sexual nature. My advice would be, try not to heap too much expectation on a TV show, just sit back and enjoy it for what it is and try to absorb the story, which is tremendous. Don't hate it just because it has got popular, although that's probably a back of the mind type process anyway, rendering these words of wisdom useless.

Peebo Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Decent end. But typical for HBO (yes, yes, I ken it's based on a book), the penultimate episode was better than the series finale. Ah well, bring on Boardwalk Empire. Newsroom back soon to tide me over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Berwick Jambo Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 As one of the "didn't read the books" clan I am looking forward to the final episode tonight after last weeks epic show, I know it can't hope to top last Monday but I hope it brings the third season to a really decent end while hinting towards the next series.

Boaby Ewing Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I thought it was very good. Obviously not as dramatic as last week but there's some cracking scenes, and some very strong dialogue and character development. The Imp is on top form.

PortyJambo Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I enjoyed the last episode too, never going to match up when compared against last week, but it set up next season very well. Lots to look forward to. Just a shame we've got a year to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Jersey_HMFC Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Typical season finale just tying up things and setting it up for next season which should be good as theres a good few things from the books which happen next Was underwhelmed by Jaime's re-appearance to Kings Landing, was much better in the book.

Chad Sexington Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Yeah, good episode. Was never going to compare with the high drama of the Red Wedding but how could it? Sets us up up nicely for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Root Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Yeah, good episode. Was never going to compare with the high drama of the Red Wedding but how could it? Sets us up up nicely for next season.

jamboinglasgow Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 watched all 3 seasons in about a week (watching series 3 episode 10 at the moment) and though I knew that there were going to be roughly what Red wedding was going to be about, did not expect one of the people killed. I hope Walder Frey gets what is coming to him and its a Stark who hands it out to him as that was brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoJack Horseman Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Me too. I got through all the books in about a month, highly recommended. Were you happy enough to go past where the show was? I'm only a quarter way through the first book and I'm already hooked. Glad I watched the series first as It's much easier to follow the characters, and I'm loving the extra insight you get into their mindset. Highly doubt I'll be able to stop now I've started.

superjack Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I read the first 3 books before watching all 3 seasons and was thoroughly impressed with both. But the finale is only so far through the third book, mind you I only just heard that the third book was actually done in 2 parts(I had the lot on a kindle download and didn't know). I was waiting until I finished watching all the episodes before I read the forth book, but now I'm not sure. I'm now thinking that I will watch season 4 before reading the next book. Mind you, I doubt I'll be able to wait until next year before I read it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I know a girl who worked behind the scenes on the last 2 series, maybe all 3. I was on a night out with her last September when there was only a few weeks of filming left. I asked if she could get me on set and she said she could if I made it over in the next 4 weeks. Didn't make it. Could have had a pic on the iron throne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
