Re: George R.R. Martin
Reflecting on the episode... it was better than my initial reaction. The big thing was that I was expecting it to begin one way having read the book, and then when it didn't start there, I kept waiting for that scene to happen... one of the drawbacks of having read the books I guess.

Re: George R.R. Martin
I was the same way. It actually hurt my enjoyment of the episode for a bit because I was expecting it to start like the 1st season. I kept wondering if they were even going to show it.the wicked child wrote:Reflecting on the episode... it was better than my initial reaction.

Re: George R.R. Martin
me thinks you guys are trying to make too many connections to between the book/show. just sit back and enjoy good television fantasy.

Re: George R.R. Martin
you are correct. They need to get people to watch the show besides only those who read the book. It made sense how they did it. What will be interesting is to see who gets extended time this season. For those who didn't have huge parts, they can't just tell some of the actors there services won't be needed until next season, right? From what I remember, Dany didn't have a huge part, but she's a big face of the show. I am looking forward to the house of the undying with her though.canaan wrote:me thinks you guys are trying to make too many connections to between the book/show. just sit back and enjoy good television fantasy.

Re: George R.R. Martin
Another solid episode. Hopefully the action picks up a bit more soon though.
As a note, love the table at Dragonstone.

Re: George R.R. Martin
Last night was the first time I felt like 10 episodes (or maybe I should say 1 hour episodes) isn't enough for all the storylines. I thought the episode was solid, but it felt like with so much going on, you don't get enough on screen time with all the characters before it moves to the next.

Might just be the Ned Stark-lessness of this season but this show has gotten boring.

Re: George R.R. Martin
I have read all the books but am not familiar with the series progression. Someone that is familiar with both, isn't the start of this season generally coinciding with the slower parts of the book series?Admin wrote:Might just be the Ned Stark-lessness of this season but this show has gotten boring.

Re: George R.R. Martin
Last night felt like a setup episode, I think the next 2 will be much better. They seem to be straying from the books this season. I think this show plays out better as a whole rather than episode by episode, there is so much going on that you have to sacrifice some excitement to set things upAdmin wrote:Might just be the Ned Stark-lessness of this season but this show has gotten boring.

This is good news.
Otherwise, wildlings would have descended on HBO offices with pitchforks...
