How mad are the TV lot going to be when the dragons get locked up and do nothing for two whole fecking series?
Books A Song of Ice and Fire (Books) | TV show? What TV show?

- Start date
I'd imagine they'll chop and change the storyline quite a bit, considering how slowly books 4 and 5 move, especially with Dany and Arya.
hopefully they ditch that daario character or whatever his fecking name was. IIRC dany turns into a right slut.
My word. What a gigantic cnut he looks.
Yeh but Dany is looking sexy as of late. Bring on the slut! Great episode just gone by, very action-packed and felt very sorry for Theon.
Lacking the blue hair though.
Just saw the episode and was coming in here to post what's already been covered. Seeing it on TV like that just makes it more ridiculous that Dany now proceeds to do feck all for two whole books. Poor TV viewers.
Ha, seems like everyone who read the book automatically felt sorry for the TV viewers, they're about to descend into several seasons of Danaerys related boredom. Whoever casts this show is brilliant, that guy who's gonna play Daario looks every inch the twat he seemed in the books.
Also, that whole thing with Varys having the sorcerer in the suitcase was a bit weird.

It was probably just a reminder to the viewers of his power throughout the lands for when he helps Tyrion escape Kings Landing.
I don't really feel sorry for the illiterate mugs. In fact, I enjoy knowing that they're going to be really upset soon.
Maybe I'm a bad person though.

Well there's a few already complaining about the lack of White Walkers four episodes in. The reactions when they realize Dany is just going to sit in a city being a bitch for three seasons will be hilarious.
I was thinking that too. They genuinely all seem to think the White Walkers are going to feature a lot in the coming episodes and that Dany is going to go straight to King's Landing to burn Joffrey.They're going to be so disappointed when they realise that we're up to the end of book 5 now and still waiting for the White Walkers to come back and that Dany has been sat doing nothing in a city for 2 books, her dragons chained up, and that Arya ends up doing very little as well.
This season and the next season are going to be genuinely brilliant because of the excellence of book 3, but the seasons after that they'll have to change a fair bit if they want to keep the intensity.
I just hope book 6 is back to his best. I've got a feeling it will be.
Watching it tonight, any sign of Strong Belwaft yet?
Well books four and five were always meant to be stop gaps between the third and sixth books, in fact G.R.R.M was never going to write them, and skip forward a year but the fans didn't like this so he did write them. maybe the TV series will just condense them into a single season and leave out lots of the pointless shit, and make sure it's left similar to the end of book five going into season six.
How people on Game of Thrones thread are not realizing that Theon has been captured by the Bolton bastard. In the end of season two, Roose said that he is sending his bastard to capture Winterfell, later there was an army there and Theon got captured. It is not that hard to make 2+2 together.
Maybe people who haven't read any of the books don't know all of the names of all of Robb's bannermen so the name Bolton meant nothing at the time when it was said?
The name Bolton has only rarely been mentioned over the course of the show, so they are easy to overlook.

There are many mentions of Bolton, or the bastard of Bolton (someone even said that he is hoping that he will never get a name and will always called like that) but no-one is linking that the bastard of Bolton has captured Theon.
I'm sure they'll find out soon enough.
I wouldn't have a clue what's going on with Theon if I were them. It's supposed to be a bit of a mystery as far as I can tell.
Apart from the part where the discussion was about the bastard of Bolton capturing Theon that happened about a week ago.
There was one mention of the Bolton bastard going up to recapture Winterfell at the end of last season, and then Roose Bolton turns up with some messages but I imagine to a casual viewer it isn't an easy thing to remember. If I'm remembering correctly this is the first time he's even identified as Lord Bolton, it's only because people who read the books (or at least the House information at the back of them) knew that Lord Bolton has a legitimised bastard and this sigil is the Flayed Man (although, Jamie does make a passing remark about the sigil in one scene). Upto that point the only bannerman they really focused on was the one who had is fingers bitten off by Grey Wind, Roose Bolton was in the background.
Not everyone is familiar with the world as you are, so it's easy to miss things that are only inferred.
Good read. Seems to hint he won't change R+L=J just because most fans have figured it out.
To be fair I think Bolton told Robb his son didn't have Theon and that they didn't know where he was. I guess they still trust Bolton...
I spoke to my friend yesterday after he watched the latest episode. On Daenarys: "I can't wait until she goes back to King's Landing and kicks arse." Little does he know how long he will be waiting

Yep, people are thinking that it will be soon. They don't know that she is at-least 5 years away from doing it.
TV people don't know why Jaime killed Aerys do they?
I think he did explain it before, no? Can't remember for sure.
He explains it in a scene in season 1, the one where Robert is sharing war stories with Barristan, I think- possibly one where he's talking with Ned. He talks about how he was just screaming 'burn them all' repeatedly, it's also mentioned during the season that Ned's father and brother were killed by Aerys due to his madness. I don't think it goes into the Lannister grudge against him for making Jaime a Kingsguard, meaning he can't inherit Casterly Rock though.
I don't remember being told in the show. Even in books I am not sure when it was told, but I doubt that it was in the two first seasons.
Jaime saved all the King's Landing and his half a million inhabitants by killing king and the hand of king. And to be fair, I think that was the only reason why Jaime did it, not to help Lannisters or to have a chance of getting Casterly Rock.
Edit: It looks that it is explained in 'A Storm of Swords' Chapter 37, so not yet in TV show.
Brienne keeps calling him Kingslayer, you would've thought people would catch on.
That was more of a hint than an explanation. He'll probably tell Brienne about it at some point this season like in the books.
For all the good the show is it's really shit when it comes to cosmetics.
poor guyAlso, anyone else notice that Margaery suggested Sansa could marry Loras? Is he a Kingsguard in the show yet?
I can't remember.
I can't remember.
He should get to see another soon, for Neville Longbottom to kill.
He required to become a Kingsguard member in the last episode of the second season, but I don't know if he has become yet. Joffrey said yes to it though, but don't know how the procedures were.
Kind of pointless was the change though. Even in the books, we never see the big brother of Loras, so why the need to change here? Especially when she won't get married with him after all. It probably was only to simplify the things, who the truth be said, have become a lot more complicated in this season.
No, he's not. I expect that's how Tywin will shit all over the parade.
It's in the books he asks that. In the show he asks Joffrey to marry Marge.
I think the change makes sense. Raising Sansa's hopes even higher before they crush them again.
Yes, you are right. Just watched the part when Loras talks with Joffrey and he didn't mention to become a member of Kingsguard.
