Game of Thrones- Tv Show- Absolutely no future book spoiler discussion.

Any other book readers seriously considering not watching the show anymore? After years of wielding the power of spoilers, the show is coming dangerously close to spoiling things from the books, and possibly already has, such as with Craster's sons and Jojen's death...

Does anyone know how many seasons are there going to be?

I have not read the books. I started watching it around 3 years ago. Gave up when I got to season 3. There was a lot of time between seasons and I'd forget the names of some characters and some details. I don't if it's only me but I like to know EVERYTHING when I'm watching shows or films. So I thought I'll wait till all the seasons have come out and then watch it all in one go rather than wait a year for every season. Seems a bit stupid I know because it'll take a few years at least for the series to be completed. First season was just perfect. Can't describe how good it was. But when the second one started, straight away you know it wasn't as good as the first one.

Is GoT even good? My friends circlejerk over it but I don't see the appeal.

How much of it have you seen? Cos I don't think the first couple of eps were really that great, or rather they don't really make you HAVE to see it to the end, it's all just loads of weird fantasy names and places and stuff, and mostly comes off as just Lord of the Rings with nudity... It does get really good though and once your into it, you do really become invested in the all and characters etc... or at least most people seem to have who've seen it all.

But yeah, a really good show. It's as much political shenanigans as it is about fantasy stuff (a load of it's inspired by real history), and there are so many twists and turns and OMG moments, so if you haven't seen much of it, or any of it, I'd say stick with it. If you have seen a load and aren't keen still, well, I just, no, that's... that's not possible, so of course you haven't...

I don't get when people say the first episodes were really boring etc, I guess it's there opinions but I really liked them, although I was confused with all the names and places the first couple of episodes all ended on cliffhangers making me want to keep watching, each to their own I guess but yeah definitely worth a shot

Currently reading the first book and I have almost finished, just read the chapter regarding Catelyn and Walder Frey's negotiation in the castle.

Just a quick question, does anyone else often have to refer to a dictionary/Google to understand what a word means when reading GOT? (or is it just me being stupid...)

Nah - there's lots of weird items and occupations that don't really exist any more, so I'll end up googling those (mummer). Most of that stuff I don't bother about, though, and you can figure a lot out if you just keep powering through when you can get it from context.

Even though it would never happen I'd really love to see a prequel series on TV. Have no idea when GRRM plans to release the next book which will make it impossible but with Spartacus when Andy Whitfield got ill they put the main story on hold for a season and did a prequel season inbetween. Obviously it'll be something book readers favour more but the backstory and all the wars etc are so interesting. Like who wouldn't want to see Robert's rebellion and a prime Robert fight Rhaegar. There's so many other interesting wars, The War of Conquests with dragons as well, why can;t GRRM release some more material. ****.
