Game of Thrones

[Friyn]

I downloaded these series yesterday and just finished watching the 9th episode. Whoah, just whoa. This is so far THE BEST serie I've ever seen. At first I couldn't understand all the hype about it, to be honest I almost began to dislike it. But now after nearly watching the 1st season I can gladly say that I'm fan also. Planning to buy the novels now, I'm too eager to know what's going to happen next. It feels almost as if you're watching a well made movie.



Are here any others who watch this godly serie?

(Keep spoilers to minium, thanks)

Not a fan. And I'm upset at hbo about all the series they're canceling for "epic" ones like thrones

HBO is making quite some good serie at the moment.

Never watched the show, I love the novels though. Actually it's more of a love/hate relationship considering how long it's taking him to finish the series........

Given HBO's record of cancelling my favorite series without giving an ending *cough* carnival *cough* I'll prolly wait till they release a series finale to start watching.

 

[Falkor]

They're keeping this stupid show for awhile..they canceled others just for it, so don't worry. And the books dont = "serie" so don't pay attention to that

 

[Rivfader]

So what is the series based off of then? Is it like a prequel or something?

 

[Falkor]

its based off them, but like anything that is based...its different in many many ways, just wouldnt expect them to be exactly like the books youve read

The first season is almost exactly the same as the first book actually... Except for some minor details.

 

[Falkor]

from what ive read theres nothing major off, but just a lot of little things that are different. not necessarily worse...just different

Oh I'd never expect that, I just don't want any spoilers for the book

That 10th ep was amazing. Can't wait for the next season. Stark's#1.

I read and loved the books, and also really enjoyed the TV episodes I have seen. Unfortunately I recorded the 5th and 6th episode on MySky (A service in NZ) only to find it wouldn't let me watch them because it's an additional pay service on top of what we're already paying! Guess I'll wait to rent the DVDs or just d/l it. Lord Tyrion is the "biggest" character in both books and movie. Arya is great too. <3

Downloaded the full 1st season a couple weeks back, just haven't had time to watch it yet.



I watch so many series I almost have trouble keeping track

The first season is almost exactly the same as the first book actually... Except for some minor details.

This.. unlike True Blood, the book and the TV series was pretty much the same (even the dialogue). You do get history information and past experiences where people came from out of the book, but that's it.



Anyone who plays MMO's a lot is probably lying when they say they've read the entire series. The books are long and sometimes too detailed with mundane information. Unless you go for weeks at a time where you can't play online games (like me going offshore), they'll take a lot of game time away.
