[TV/Books] Game of Thrones ***SPOILER Discussion***

[Nekovivie]

I would follow a queen who could fart rainbows.

Come to Englandia then.

[ItachiZaku]

As I picture laying in bed with my Queen Margaery... hearing a faint trumpet sound... seeing a little faded rainbow slither out under the covers, onto the floor...

So she might be able to have children in the show.

Isnt it hinted in the books that she might be able to? Or am I miss remembering. I believe in the last book there was a part where there's blood running down her leg, hinting at her "moon blood" returning. I believe it's the scenes after she takes a ride with Drogon and is trying to walk back.


Could explain just skipping it entirely in the shows as well.

This is the quote from the book when Danny ask when Drogo will be normal again.

"When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When your womb quickens again, and you bear a living child. Then he will return, and not before"

Meaning never.

There's some speculation that this is another one of those weird quasi-prophecies. The sun for example might be Quentyn Martell, the seas going dry might refer to the Dothraki sea being gradually scorched by the sun (which is hinted at in the Dany's final chapter in ADwD). I mean, she does end up having her period after a very, very long time...

It might be that she is in fact still fertile (or is fertile once again), and that Mirri's words meant something else entirely, like some weird necromantic stuff happening because Fire is out of balance in Essos, like Ice is in the north of Westeros.

But this is entirely speculation.

Way I view it is: if it hasn't been discussed or shown in the show it doesn't matter what's in the books. The books at this point are purely an outline it seems.

Have not seen Misfits.

He plays a character almost directly inverted to Ramsay, it'll be wonderfully strange to switch between the shows.

The death of Barristan probably confirms that story that was floating around of an actor being upset about his (major) character being cut out cause it's still alive on the books, confirmed by Barristan being alive in tWoW.

He was on Thronecast (a live follow on show for the UK) and appeared to be very upset about his character being killed off.

Any links?

Oh really, maybe should give it a try.

So, this season takes us to the last book or?

LSH is a lot like Ziva with NCIS. Neither will likely appear again, despite fans demanding it. Creators way or the highway.

This one.

What's the point of changing stuff tho. I don't get it.

It's understandable that they changed some stuff because most the stuff that are in the books feast of crows and dance of the dragons are boring to be honest if they implement it in the tv series exactly like the books. However, killing Ser Barristen Selmy is not a good change to be honest...

It looks like the writers want Game of Thrones to be based on their interpretation of the books instead of an actual adaptation.
Why they'd want a romance between an 11-year-old girl and a eunuch is beyond me though.

I'd ready to believe.

[ItachiZaku]

Happy birthday, Ramsay!

Biggest reason they change stuff is probably money. In a book one can add all the characters they want and it doesn't cost them any more or less. Actors cost money though. The better the show is and the longer it goes on the more it cost to pay said actors.

Changing things honestly doesn't bother me although I usually prefer to watch a movie or show before reading the source material.

[Elim Garak]

Changing stuff is awesome. Who needs books turned into series as is... especially if you have already read them. What would be the point in watching such a series? Will such series be profitable to create? If only bookworms will watch it to see if it lives to their book expectations so they then can bitch about any deviation no matter how minuscule...

"What? The actress playing Margaery is not as hot as I imagined?!! NERDRAGE!!!"

IN case of GoT you can do both. Read the books and watch the show and be surprised and entertained properly with both.

Totally agree. I think seeing the differences is part of enjoying the show. Subjective obviously.
