Game of Thrones

[Venmar]

Also, I finally read up to the Red Wedding in ASOS, and I have decided that I do not like what they have done with Robb in the show,

at all.

I also learned that 1 particular Danny chapter in the books was stretched out over 5 of the last episodes of Season 3, which made me go " lol wat "

[Amrun]

Yeah but it had a lot of action, which translates better to screen.

[RichardGHP]

So, I finished up season 2, and the only thing I really have to say is that I can't stand Theon in any way, shape, or form. That goes for the books, too—so tempted to just skip his chapters (and scenes in the show).

Everything else I thought was good. Can't believe how long it is until S3 comes out

[quadz08]

Read Theon's chapters. Do not skip them.

[hasdgfas]

Read Theon's chapters. Do not skip them.

Yeah, while you may hate Theon the character, that doesn't mean you can skip his chapters, because every chapter is incredibly important.

[Swift Justice]

theon has the best scene on the show in season 2

[RichardGHP]

I don't plan to skip anything but reading them just feels like a chore.

[quadz08]

I've found that almost everybody has a "god can I skip your chapters please" character. Don't skip any chapters; every character is not only important, but ultimately interesting as well!

[Sudo_Nym]

Everybody has that one character they can't stand. And it's Bran for everybody.

[RichardGHP]

Oh, yeah. Except I have two of those characters.

[Amrun]

Everybody has that one character they can't stand. And it's Bran for everybody.

I love Bran!!!

Hate Victarion.

[Venmar]

I love reading Jon, Tyrion, Davos, and Arya.

I don't feel either way regarding Sansa, don't hate or love.

Bran and Sam are pretty boring.

[quadz08]

You hate

Victarion

?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

You finished season 2 and you haven't mentioned episode 9 battle of blackwater?

Also, season 3 has already finished.

[RichardGHP]

I meant on DVD.

As for Blackwater, yeah, that was cool. I was massively impressed by the way they did the wildfire. I haven't gotten to that in the book, but I'm looking forward to it.

[absta101]

Oh, okay.

That's probably the best episode of the whole show.

Victarion

[Faraday]

Oh, okay.

That's probably the best episode of the whole show.

I prefer "What is dead may never die", from the same season, even. Blackwater's a great spectacle and awesome, but I felt that was a better episode + Alfie Allen was awesome.

[Venmar]

I found the fighting in Blackwater kind of.. unimpressive though. Like the scene where Tyrion rushes out to flank the mud gate... the fight ends so quickly when he arrives that it's unrealistc.

In the book or the show?

Late news:

Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Doctor Who, The League of Gentlemen) has been cast for season 4. No idea how big a role he can have, especially given that Sherlock is filming (was? Are they done already?) and he is not only in it but is also one of the creators.

Mace? Seems too slim--oh, Mycroft--but he definitely has the acting chops to pull the arrogant buffoon. Someone else? The Kindly Man? (Please please please...)

[Amrun]

oooh I love him!

[Amrun]

So awesome.
