Re: George R.R. Martin
So thoughts on the differences between Clash of Kings and Season 2:
BOOK SPOLIERS
For those who have not read the books, each chapter is 5-10 pages from the POV of one character so it really does jump around just like the show. Unfortunately it does not make for great TV without some changes and even then it can't be followed casually and with missing the narration around scenes and flash backs some things can be confusuing, mainly every scene with Jon Snow so far. But if you have a short attention span then the books are fantastic. And Clash of Kings got better as it went on and Storm of Swords ended up being the best book in the series I think so if not oo much else is changed the rest of the season and Season 3 will be good.

If you're watching the show just for the dragons, you're going to be sorely disappointed... at least for now. Baby dragons aren't going to raze cities.Admin wrote:Dragons are missing? I've been saying that all season...
Before the season, I saw an interview with the writers where they discussed the dragons. They said that you have to be careful with them because when the dragons are on the screen, that's all you will remember... not anything that's being said. And I tend to agree with that. At this point, they are too small to be more than a novelty.

Re: George R.R. Martin
They're really going off the reservation with the Daenerys story line at this point. I think Emilia Clarke's acting is more offensive than the changes themselves though... she's starting to annoy me.
During the preview for next week, I could have sworn it said "Two More Episodes". Am I missing something? That was the 7th episode, and it was supposed to be another 10 episode season.

Re: George R.R. Martin
Why did they cast the worst actress for the best role?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.

Re: George R.R. Martin
How dare all of you. Emilia Clarke comes from a fine acting pedigree that includes such cinema classics as SyFy's "Triassic Attack" and an appearance on the hit British soap opera, "Doctors". Enough with all of you Monday morning quarterbacks.

Re: George R.R. Martin
According to this, last night was episode 7 and there are 3 left. Now I swear I saw somewhere that the last episode was going to be a 2 hour one.the wicked child wrote:They're really going off the reservation with the Daenerys story line at this point.

On another note I started reading Book 1. Really enjoying it, don't know how much I'll be reading after tomorrow when Diablo 3 come out

She looks much better as a brunette, though.

I didn't mind her in season 1, but now she just seems like a spoiled brat that isn't getting her way...

Re: George R.R. Martin
I will say I'm looking forward to seeing how they envision the House of the Undying.

Re: George R.R. Martin
I wonder if they're combining the last 2 episodes into 1 and that is where the "2 episodes left" thing came from. I guess I don't really care as long as we get the full time.
We waited like a year for this season... can't believe it's almost over already.

Re: George R.R. Martin
Funny that Emilia Clarke replaced someone else after the pilot was already filmed. Can't imagine how bad the first actress was.
And she is a brat, she's only 15 or something in the books so she is still just a girl and often acts like one.

Re: George R.R. Martin
I find her pleasing to look at. She's supposed to be a bit melodramatic, because of her age and Targaryen lineage.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Martin wrote that episode and they often double season finales.the wicked child wrote:I wonder if they're combining the last 2 episodes into 1 and that is where the "2 episodes left" thing came from. I guess I don't really care as long as we get the full time.
