Most of the past few episodes has been mostly character, story, world, and concept introduction really with some fun twists to spice it up. I assume it will only get better (and it is pretty decent). I think it is fantastic that they are trying to stay true to the story as frankly novel authors create significantly deeper and better stories than just screenwriters. Doesn't necessarily mean it makes better on screen movies or shows per se unless they are very well done and translated over well which I gather this one has been so far.

game of thrones and rest of the books would definitely not make a good film, the books are so long and so many they would need to make it into a 2 or 3 3 hour films per book to even try to get it all in, and if you read the books you will see that there is indeed a LOT of stuff which is all pretty much essential to the story. My main concern with it being made into a series was that theres quite a lot of times the characters are thinking stuff which is important, like what has motivated them to do something or that they know exactly what another character who thinks they are being sneaky is doing. So unless they have a lot of *thinking* dialogue it wouldn't work. Have they done that well?

Never ceases to amaze me how well Mark Addy does as as the king. Its not exactly the kind of role he is known for...

Oh... and don't expect this to be a typical *i know who lives I know who dies* cos seriously.... you just dont have a clue =p

Ps. the next book is coming out in july if any of you fancy reading them! theres 5 so far you need to get through but its VERY worth it, bloody epic

BUMP!

I've been reading the books, I only started a couple of weeks ago, on Storms End Part 1 atm.

Reason I'm bumping this is to call you a bastard. Tyrion is about the only character I really like, now everytime I read the thing my brains trying to realise how he gets his revenge. Which sucks because the books are about as unpredictable as Faids mum when she's feeling frisky. She could do anything, anytime, anywhere :). Although this suspense has me reading them faster, I only have so much time a day but I don't want to know as it will spoil it!

I rather like Jon Snow & Davos, but there nothing compared to the imp.

This is why Barney, you're a twat :)

buwhahaha my evil plan succeeds!. Your not too far away from his revenge, I think its either a feast for crows or part 2 of the ones your on that he gets his revenge and things really shake up a lot. Though I will say they don't shake things up as much as a dance with dragons... seriously its worth reading all the others just to read that one! Most of the way through things are going cool for everybody then suddenly in the last 1/4 of the book stuff happens to just about everybody that you would never suspect would happen.

It really is entirely pointless trying to work out whats going to happen next with this series, it always ends up being the last thing you'd think would happen

SUPER DUPER SPOILERS BELOW THIS LINE!!!!











I cannot believe Jon Snow was going to march south, really didn't see that coming, it was so out of character. I think the Red Priestess will bring him back to life, maybe. Be a shame if she didn't :(.

If I have to wait 5 years to read the next one I might cry, deeply.
