The guy they cast for Roose Bolton for me is exactly what I pictured him looking like in the books. Same for Drogo, and King Robert B except bigger (he was noticeably shorter than Ned on the show if I remember right). Tyrion was the most off. Now when i read it I picture show Tyrion.

My immersion  was ruined by Hodor not being a bigger, stronger dude who could carry around the 6'0" actor they got for Bran.

Does the curtains match the drapes (curtain being eyebrows)? Because immersion ruined if that's not the case.

I don't know about you guys, but has anyone else here been absolutely baffled by how popular this series has gotten since the show? Just two or three years ago, these books were just medieval porn adventures that we all masturbated to in High School because zombies and dragons and backstabbing politics and other poo poo. I never thought it would grow popular beyond a few loser neckbeards on the Internet. I went on a date with a girl the other day and she brings up the show and asks me if I watched it. And it just hit me that this poo poo is now considered first-date conversation material. This poo poo couldn't happen with Star Trek back in the day....... Could it?

I've had a first date conversation about Star Trek. It was also a last date. (She liked Voyager better than DS9, gently caress that poo poo) Once it hits mainstream media, it's ok for public consumptiong and first date conversation. I see people reading Fifty Shades of Grey on the bus all the time, for gently caress's sakes.

Just remember, if she says she thought Renly and Loras was hot, you gotta break out the "well, I'm not exactly straight myself" routine for added moisture. Bonus points if you're not even lying.

I don't think I'm cut out for the dating scene any more. This poo poo's getting too weird.

I'd actually be fine being in a threesome with a girl and another guy as long as there was no crossing of Dornish spears, but this would probably cause her to figure out I was lying about being 'not exactly straight.'

Look, Contra. Some of us have become men, and as men it's okay to use words like "cunny" and "love baton". I don't need your lame-o virginal metaphors clouding things over here.

Only in the bad thread could we go from debate over the quality (or lack thereof) of the Walking Dead to debating the finer points of faking one's way through a MMF threesome within the space of a page.

I went on a date with a dude that watched the Walking Dead and GoT, and I told him I read the books, so I know what happens, so he may as well not speculate. Then he S'ed my D. Conclusion: literate people are gods amongst men, and TVIV is our giant harem full of pillowy-lipped eager pleasers.
