Game of Thrones (BOOK + TV) WARNING: SPOILERS [NO LEAKED EPISODE SPOILERS]

[pepsa]

I just want to say it's not because you didn't read the books that you can't be a core fan. I see books and TV/Film as 2 different things. I am a big fan of the LOTR movies, but don't like the books that much. And I can tell you I read thousends of wiki's about LOTR and loved everything they done. Does that not make me a core fan?

 

And it's just the same for GoT I love GOT the tv show, just started to read the books, because I want to know more about the world. But I am a real GoT fan and appealing to me matters as much as appealing to you book reader.

 

And because I am reading book one atm, I ll probably critisice the books instead of the TV show, cause at this point the TV show is my reference point. We ll see, I hope the books wil be as good or much beter, but we ll see.

There already is a backlash it started with the sansa thing and now is continuing and using the unsullied to prove your point is lazy who honestly cares the second the next big thing comes the show will be forgotten like everything else the readers stick by it

As a book reader I think that was one of the best things that happened to this show. And I've talked to other book readers who think as well. I love Sansa, but she does absolutely NOTHING in the books. And it's annoying exactly because I like her character. And looking at the promo for the season finale she might become a badass worthy of the Stark name. And I'm perfectly ine with that. I hope she kills Ramsay herself.

I find the books better in most cases. That is not denigrating the show because I love both so much. But I started with the books. There are some things in the books that I did not like: the Sansa storyline, the Arya storyline, the Jon storyline which got a bit changed in the series and thats fine. What the books did better is the Cersei storyline (shes among my fav characters), the Theon ark, the Dany ark, the Margaery one. Tyrion's ark in the show is better. 

 

Either way, I love details and I'd like to see every little thing adapted, but I know it's impossible. So I appreciate the books and the TV series on different levels, two different universes. In a way, I like they are making changes and going ahead because I can be surprised and thats a good thing.   

 

Overall, the only thing that pisses me off is that they don't give Dany enough screen time.

I was disappointed with the fighting pit / Drogon scene. Pretty anti-climactic compared to the book.

The show at least answered whether or not Hizdork was a villain or just a dude caught in the middle.

 

That narrows down the poisoner in the books to the Green Grace, Reznak, or the Shavepate. And the Harpy to Reznak or the Green Grace.

She's going to become a badass if you read the winds chapter and without being raped there were a ton of ways to buid tension but to what they did is just ridiculous and grrm editor rightly called them out for it

Seems like you and i share the same intrest now, since Tyrion and Danny are now working together

[Charism]

No, they aren't. Danny flew off to far away land, while Tyrion magically survived arena massacre.
I think they will not be together for vast amount of time, again. Which is sad, cause their banter was one of the best in season 5.

But you red the books, so it will be true

Danny's book arc so far has only gone barely past what we saw last night. We know nothing of what happens to her other than what you'll see in the season finale.

[Spidey Freak]

 Just remeber its the readers who started watching the show and sold it to all their friends and family

 

Maybe in some parts of the States but outside, Unsullied pretty much caught onto the show on their own like bees attracted to the honey jar.

Its is a joke

It was just my guess, books and series n Dany arc are almost at same level right now.

[boomboom234]

Yeah they will be apart for a while they only brought them together this season for the marketing purposes

[4815162342]

Depends how fast they wrap up her time with the Dothraki.

Plus no Battle of Meereen in the show looks like.

[4815162342]

There's been a recent push of speculation that they're gonna kill Tommen in the finale (when Varys pops in for his murder spree at the very end). Wouldn't be surprised if they go down that route, with Myrcella and Trystane now heading to King's Landing.

I have heard that they have varys kill littlefinger

[4815162342]

Now that would just be ridiculous, especially since if Littlefinger shows up in the finale it only makes sense to be in the North with a Vale army.

 

Pycelle and Kevan are gonna croak for sure though, like the book.
