DaveTV1 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Have you read the books??? They do a synopsis/review of the show every day on the Blitz here in Houston, and Fred Faour has read all the books. He has said that the new episodes are going to go beyond the books. He has also pointed out the differences between the books and the series, but has stated that it hasn't derived that much from the books. I haven't read the books because from what I heard it was similar to the "Dragonriders of Pern" by Anne McCaffrey that I read only two books of in the late 80's. Those books seemed to drag (I guess pun intended) for several chapters, and why I haven't read the "Game of Thrones" books. Are they worth reading or do they tend to drag along as well ?

RETIREDFAN1 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Read them......the only thing that drags is Martin's deadline for another release..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrawnyMan Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Jon Snow may still be alive at the end of the last book (barely) but I wouldn't call it well lol. And the battle I am referring to Colmes is in the north...they way north and Jon isn't there in the books, he sent other Crows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Rab Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Read them......the only thing that drags is Martin's deadline for another release..... I felt the same way about the Harry Potter Series... I read them when the 4th was released... 5th was soon after, 6th, wasn't so bad, but the final book I think took 3+ years?

Coach Rab Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Hey, what happened to the little brother who can't walk? They haven't shown him since he met that wizard in the tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrawnyMan Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 He won't be on this season, they passed where he is in the books last season. They are letting everyone else catch up. He will be back next season though, heard through casting rumors he will be having a very important dream I'm pretty pumped about seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrawnyMan Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 No, I just wasn't sure we would get Stannis battle this season as slow as they are moving that army. I hope we still get the battle of Mereen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Rab Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 The dwarf doesn't die in the books does he? He may be my favorite character so far in the show 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrawnyMan Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Not yet, one thing he has going for him is he's George Martin's favorite character as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Rab Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Well episode 8 was a great slaughter... But is John Snow's sword made of obsidian or something else? And if they had to get to the free folk by water, how the hell did he get to them by land the first time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrawnyMan Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 His sword is Valyrian steel, made with dragonfire. Nobody actually knows how to make it but obsidian is said to be all over old Valirya and Dragonstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrawnyMan Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I like where they went with this episode, I had a feeling this would be the major battle this season when he went with Tormun. People don't realize just how much of the shows budget has to go into CGI for the White Walkers, Whites, Dragons, Direwolves etc. Its the main reason you rarely see them on the show. These guys get less money than most major Hollywood movies get but they only fill 2 hours of content, these guys have to spread it out over 10 hour long episodes. Pretty incredible really.

Coach Rab Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Here's the best question so far... Which main character will we see nude next? Aryia, Sansar, Cercie, Grandma of the queen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrawnyMan Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'm amazed at the depth he shows using only one word. Much Like Timmy in Southpark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrawnyMan Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Noticed a lot of the whites and looked like a few white walkers where wearing crow gear. Wonder if we will get to meet Cold Hands on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Rab Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Crazy episode... Child rape, Dragon fight/flight, sacrificing children, nothing on Serci, The queen, or Sansar either. This one basically stayed in the desert.... Are they sticking with the 10 episode season this year too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
