MassivelyBuckNegro posted: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. So hat I've heard is true - that the tv show is good in spite of the books?

Has it's ups and downs and as long as you don't cry about the fact that henchmen 3 in the books is wearing the wrong underwear in the tv series, it's pretty good. Just put your brain on hold when the series gets to Dorne.

I think Dorne wasn't that bad, it just dragged a bit because you can tell the writers wanted to show it because it foreshadows and sets up some things that are important to the whole issue at King's Landing but the directors had no idea how to convey it without really terrible exposition

As poo poo as Dorne was in the series it doesn't hold a candle to the awfulness that was Dorne in the books. Everything related to Dorne was just boring and lovely in the book, even Oberyn. The fact they pretty much hit every plot point in book 4 and 5 and then some in the last season just shows how lovely and padded the last 2 books are

I'm just glad they ditched Tyrion's weird little emo arc after he left King's Landing where he hangs out with the midget lady

OTOH, despite being the schemingest schemers on the continent, the Lannisters have roughly the same ratio of living to murdered/disowned family members.

Maybe Robert Baratheon and Lyanna. Of course, Robert was shitfaced and doesn't remember, which is why he pesters Ned about it. Mr. Nice! posted:guys are you hyped? Cause I'm loving hyped. Sansa's wearing a wolf on her chest. That's pretty gutsy to shove it in Ramsey's face. Who is that in the Targareon armor at 1:00? Daario?

The Lannisters' pride & wrothfulness gently caress them up just as bad as the Starks' honor and naivety. The Tyrells are the schemingest schemers And they're Growing Strong.

Honestly, I just want to see Sansa Stark gut Littlefinger with a spoon. Thats really all I need to see in the season to consider it a success. However, since its Game of Thrones and no Stark can have nice things.... Chances are she is just going to get raped some more. Which means I have to hope we at least get Bronn's No Reservations and a dragon eating some people/torching a couple of sand cities and the browns that live in them.

Deblasio's wife also hired someone who was living with a murderer and whose son later killed someone so basically his wife has the political judgement of a drunken lemming

They're obviously grooming Bran Stark to be a dragon rider but I imagine that zombie army is gonna lay waste to a good portion of the north so even if the Boltons get gutfucked by Cersei & Littlefinger, the north is hosed.

Well the Chosen One of the Lord of Light is dead so yeah, obviously the white walkers are going to kill everyone. That dream Dany had where the mages showed her the throne room in ruins and covered in snow will come to pass and then FIN.
