Torrent = lame :king:

nah, i liked the 1st 2 seasons, but thats it.

its series like Rome, Lost (as frustranting as it could get lol), Malcolm in the middle, The wire, The Office, DBZ..... that are in my top 5-10,
but now i can add Game of Thrones Smile

i have a question for Barrilete (and the others who have read the books)

given that now i want to read them (1yr waiting for next season is too long lol),
can i directly begin from the book 2 (A Clash of Kings)?
by that i mean: did season 1 talked about everything that was in the 1st book?

by BarrileteCosmico Tue Jun 21, 2011 1:59 am

It's hard to say... a few things are different, and a lot of details and context are missing. I would recommend reading a game of thrones first, but I think a clash of kings is readable after the series. I just think you would be lost a lot of times. So, if you can read AGoT, if you're not willing to read 900 pages then you can try, and probably understand a lot, but I think the experience would not be as rich.

I started a thread at Westeros (popular ASOIAF forum where I sometimes post) asking for the general consensus:

thanks man Wink

you and those guys make very good points and now i just want to begin from AGoT.

anyway, it will be a good thing for me, as i didnt read too much books these past years (due to lack of free time, but mostly to laziness lol)

by LeSwagg James Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:05 am

Never heard of it...

by Sushi Master Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:23 am

What an insightful post.

From what I've read, George Martin will be directing the huge battle that takes place in a Clash of Kings. I don't know much details, but you guys who've read the book must know what I'm talking about. Must be the Battle of Kings landing.

Hope they actually do it right and not have all the combat off screen...

by Twoism Tue Jun 21, 2011 5:19 am

Budget would be huge though, tbh I'm ok with drama element of the show w/o any epic fight scene if that's what it takes to prolong the series ( Don't want another Rome). Same go with Spartacus, now that they're done with arena the only thing left is the rebellion war which might be epic fail judging from a flop Camelot.

by BarrileteCosmico Wed Jun 22, 2011 5:44 am

We know we have at least one more season, and I just care about them making it right. Closure could be obtained in the books.

btw regarding the second season, the director of the last 2 episodes has been hired to do 4/10 episodes next season. Fantastic decision, the guy has been kicking ass and taking names in those last 2 episodes. Got every detail right.

by Swanhends Wed Jun 22, 2011 6:00 am

was browsing the internet earlier today and someone mentioned something about the series, not sure if they were trolling or not, and if its true I am just going to have a meltdown

I would compare it to being told Dumbledore is killed by Snape after reading the 2nd or 3rd harry potter book

by BarrileteCosmico Wed Jun 22, 2011 6:13 am

what did they say bhends?

by Swanhends Wed Jun 22, 2011 6:18 am

I wont dare repeat it on the off chance that its true

I have shown tremendous self restraint by not looking up whether it is true or not and I plan to continue to carry on that way

If it actually is true I'm just going to lose it because that would effectively inform me as to what happens in basically the biggest single plot line in the series...

...If its not true, well then I just have to respect and epic troll when I see one

by The Lizard King Wed Jun 22, 2011 6:46 am

Yeah bhends, just let it go and try to forget about it. Some scumbag ruined the whole snape killing dumbledore for me too, by having it on his MSN personal msg. That kinda shits plain out sadistic.

by BarrileteCosmico Wed Jun 22, 2011 6:48 am

To be perfectly honest i'm having trouble coming up with anything that earth shattering so it's probably bull. Probably.

by Albiceleste Wed Jun 22, 2011 7:59 am

Is this show good? I've only heard people raving about it
