As long as Emilia Clark is contractually naked somewhere it'll be a good season. Isn't Lena Heady due for a somewhat prolific nude walk as well?

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

they're going to have to mash books 4 & 5 because there's no way there will be a season without tyrion or dany.

ever since the last episode of the 1st season when the dragon thing appears this show is gay as shit. 1st season was cool because it was more like a documentary, very believable but then you see some true blood harry potter shit happening and its all just a bunch of shit now. plus theres like 40 storylines and the only one that matters is the dragon chick which sucks because this is supposed to be a show about midevil times not some wizard fake shit.

Whatever gave you that false impression? This show is about exactly what its supposed to be about.

IT is more braveheart and the lord of the rings than harry potter, the dragons do look cheesey imo.
I see rob stark has a new show about to start.

Not sure if the link will work as it is long but there is a 14:30 preview for the upcoming season on the HBO
website that has many scenes and interviews. It appears the show starts back up on April 6th.

Off wikipedia:

I didn't hear about this. Good to know GRRM needs another year to write about food.

I'm reading them all again in preperation for the new season. I have picked up a few foreshadowing things that I missed before. Who will be a good replacement to finish the series once GRRM dies before the final 2 books are finished?

The worst part of this season is that after its done, there are two to three God awful seasons ahead.

It's back on Sunday. I was going to rewatch some of the season but it appears they have a 25 minute
recap of last season on demand so probably go with that as I am not one of the fanboys who read the
books and what not. Looking forward to getting some Game Of Thrones back in the rotation though.

You can likely get away with reading the cliff notes of the book. 45% of the books are him describing fantasy dinner buffets.

Yeah the books are solid but we wont get the next two before GRRM dies, so the show is all we ahve left.

I rewatched all of last season a month ago, glad I did.

I re-read the books again to get in the swing of things for the season. Still halfway to go on Dance... Each time I read Feast and Dance, I like them more and more. If they were released as one mega-book, I dont think people would feel as bad about them.

They're not bad but both needed a heavy edit. Lots of fluff, bloat, and inactivity (Brienne and Tyrion's wandering chapters). They had cheap cliffhanger endings that were more annoying than exciting.

Nice start.

Enjoyed the Hound and Arya stuff. Nice introduction for the Viper as well.

I watch the show, never read the book, haven't read most of this thread, so who is playing the part of the "I read the book guy" in this thread?

There's a few. But there's another thread, I think, for those thoughts. I have read the books.

Not much of any book spoiler stuff in this thread.

I'm not sure if this counts as a SPOILER but I'm putting it in white text anyways just so I can gripe.

Unless the writers fuck around with event chronology people are going to be sooooo pissed with Daenerys storyline by the end of this season.
