Punks No Deid Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 According to a guy at my work HBO say that GOF first episode of series four is their most watched programme since the finale of The Sopranos? If true then that's awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haken Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Renewed for seasons 5 & 6 Hardly ever in doubt but anyway Someone posted on the facebook post "hopefully G R R Martin lives that long Create an epic fantasy series and all he ever gets is stick for killing off popular characters and for not producing the books fast enough ... And for being fat It's an issue! GRRM is an old gadge and needs to get his finger out. I've read that he has two books to write to finish the series. There's another (far inferior) fantasy book series called 'The Wheel of Time'. The writer of that, Robert Jordan, died before finishing the series, which is now being written by someone else based on Jordan's notes. There's also the fact that GRRM does all these fan events like Comicon (or whatever it's called) where he sits alongside stars of the show and fields questions form the audience. Now, it strikes me that it must be difficult for GRRM not to picture the actors when writing the books. Does that mean that he could be creating nude scenes for particular actresses he fancies seeing in the buff? Or am I taking that too far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean that he could be creating nude scenes for particular actresses he fancies seeing in the buff? Or am I taking that too far? Martin has been spending time writing other books like the wit of tyrion lannister one that came out recently, some Song of ice and Fire fans have been kicking off He's told Benioff and Weiss who ends up on the iron throne so at worst the tv series will be taken care of And yes he probably will write in nude scenes for the bursds he likes. Love how in the book rob Starks wife jeyne westerling is nowhere near the Red Wedding but her tv version talisa apparently refused to do any frontal nude scenes.. So Martin/Weiss/Benioff wrote a pregnancy into the script, sent her to the red wedding and had her butchered by the freys Let that be a lesson to any of the actresses refusing to get them out for the boys!

The whodunnit aspect will be much more intense when you don't know. You don't really know for sure in the book until Little Finger's speech on the boat, which come to think of it, with Sansa bailing with Dontos, might be sooner than I thought.

Steve_Jersey_HMFC Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 I know they have to up all the child actors by a couple years but Tommen looked way too old there, I note its a new actor edit: apparently the new Tommen was one of the Lannister squires murdered by the Karstarcks last season.

What are people's opinions of the theory that the Red Viper of Dorne had poisoned Tywin and would have died anyway if Tyrion hadn't have gutted him? Maybe we should make a books thread? The cases people make are pretty convincing, but I have to ask what the point would be in including that? Are you as curious as I am as to what they're going to do without the Kettleblacks?

Book spoiler: I wonder if Lancel will take his place, instead of becoming religious and joining the Warrior's Sons Its just the way it went pal a thread where people like ourselves can discuss the show in the context of the books (whilst of course using spoiler tags sensitively) but this wasnt enough as some opened spoilers thinking "I'm up to date with the show" as they weren't always labelled book spoilers.. so hence a thread was started which explicitly says no book spoilers at all which is fair. book spoiler Has Lancel been seen in the show since Blackwater Wonder if Kevan will be back for a few scenes before his meeting with Varys at end of book 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Jersey_HMFC Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Caught Breaker of Chains episode this morning Fairly slow episode after last week but some solid performances from Peter Dinklage and Charles Dance in particular I didnt like the sept of baelor scene. In the book (this isnt really a spoiler) Cersei is reluctant at first and pushes Jaime away a bit but then gives in and lets Jaime have her, whereas the scene in this weeks episode was pretty much rape. On another note whats going on with Stannis, end of s3 they were all like lets away up the wall and fight the wightwalkers, now theyre still kicking their heels at Dragonstone. perhaps Davos getting in touch with the Iron Bank will be the precursor to getting more money and swords before heading North Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
