So I lost a bet a couple months back and the result was to buy the first season, and donate an equal amount of cost to a charity. Then watch the first season.

5 seasons later, I hate myself for being a gigantic nerd over this show. And now am going to invest in an e-reader specifically to get the books.

Waiting on Cleganebowl is basically the only reason I'm planning on keeping up with the show. Cause it's not like that fat gently caress is gonna finish the books.

I first read the ASOIAF books back in 09, with some borrowed copies from a friend, all with cheesy as gently caress 90's fantasy novel covers.

My uncle saw me reading one and said, "Is that one of them Dungeons and Dragons kind of books?"

I said, "....Yeah...."

He said in one of those earnest, sage advice kind of voices, "Well that's okay, as long as you're ashamed of it."

The White Walker party have been stuffing the ballot box by reanimating the corpses of the slain and busing them to the polls. (Actually kinda like Hillary now that I think about it.) This is why we need voter ID; if you're merely the undead extension of an immortal monster's will, you should be disqualified from voting.

I can't wait for those fucks to get gutted and dismembered in an extremely unpopular massacre that further alienates the Lannisters from the population of King's Landing.

Can someone who's read the books spoil it for me and tell me whether the people react with jubilation or whether they get pissed off about their holy order getting gutfucked by a giant Frankenstein monster?

The book with the Red Wedding and Tyrion leaving to find Dany was first published when Bill Clinton was president.

Also pleased to see team Yara back in that trailer.

How about some death predictions? I say Jamie Lannister, Episode 7. Some sort of Machination of Cersei's goes wrong, and the Sparrows or the faith assassinate him.

Also bound to be a second tier character knocked off in the first episode, so that can be ...say Reek, dispatched in the first scene he appears in.

Jamie is way too clever to end up dying, he has no self-righteous streak and is pretty much looking out for himself the entire time. Like he's legit one of the best characters on the show. Shame about the sister loving though

I don't disagree with you, Jamie is a cool guy. I don't think he deserves to die but that might be why he gets it.

Looking at the main charcaters in the poll, I reckon Jon and Dany will have immunity for a long time yet, Cersei is bound stick around to make things worse for everybody, Tyrion and Sansa aren't likely to die before they get to do whatever they were building up to do. Unfortunately that also leaves lots of cool secondary characters like Bronn, Davos and Littlefinger with plenty of scope to get the ol' knife treatment.

Plus they know the ultimate ending and are actually producing things, so it isn't a worry that the fat old gently caress is gonna die before he finishes his story.

Literally the only good part of those two books was the secondhand story about Bronn.

"He lanced the horse!"

I read that section, leaned back and went :smugdog: "Mah nigga."

Bronn is easily the most GiP of all characters, he just wants his benefits and a release from all this stupid bullshit with the occasional option for asymmetrical violence

edit: If they ended up giving him a dog and having it be his sole focus, we'd probably start a cult

if george hadn't spent hundreds of pages describing food, feasts, clothing, armor, castles, sex etc in explicit and unnecessary detail, he would have finished the books a decade ago. which is also why the tv show bucks the trend by being better than the books.
