Well since book 3 is getting split into 2 seasons (confirmed), I imagine they will use as much of the source as possible otherwise we'll be looking forward to 5 episodes related to the source and 5 complete filler episodes. o.0

Oh, they won't struggle to fill ten hours. Just do it at the nice pace of this latest episode and they'll still have to cut stuff out :tongue:

Heck, they'd still have to cut stuff out if they did it like the first episode, but I'd rather they not do that XD

I'm liking him more (or disliking less) than I did in the books

One thing that irritates me is the way they're portraying Jon. He's not a whiny brat.

Lol in the show Jon looks gormless and stoned 24/7 and gets angry very easily. Some of my female friends say they fancy Sam Tarly over Jon because Sam is a virgin and always nervous, humble and sweet. (I did mention Jon was also).

I feel sorry for Theon a little, he gets **** on by everyone and blatently wants people to think better of him.

Stannis is neither written nor played correctly. Stannis is a man of IRON. He has an iron will and an unshakeable sense of justice and duty.

I think most of Jon's character is in his thoughts, not deeds, and to give the actor something to work with this character is the best they can do. Else he'd just be an obedient robot :tongue:

But even so, he didn't ASK to go with Qhorin Halfhand, Qhorin asked him to come. Partly because of Ghost, partly because he's related to Benjen Stark, partly because he'd fought off the wight at Castle Black.

.....The more I think about the show, the more pedantic I get :tongue:

Well don't be, I read the books also and I don't compare everything with the books. Even George Martin said some readers are too obsessed and need to chill out as adapting something from book to show is a hard job and they need to explain things better as they can't show thoughts of people. Also don't forget season 2 is based on a big book so they are boung to skip lots of stuff out. (thought im disappointed they havent included Ghost's wolf dream). Season 3 and 4 are both based on SoS so I suspect they will include most things there.

ps: why do women loved the word pedantic all the sudden? I mean a friend from work told me to stop being a "pedantic ars*hole" lol.

Whoa, I'm not attacking the show, I think it's fantastic. I just think there are a couple of things that could be done better.

True, but that only affects his current character, which can be (and will be, I assume) changed in time past the wall.

Can't decide whether to read the book or watch the TV show. I don't like knowing what's going to happen, see. Which is better? :smile:

I'd watch the show then read the book personally per season.. But if you can't wait to see what happens then read the books. Both are great imo.

Read the books :smile:

There are a lot of things in there that aren't in the show.
But do check out the show too!

I'd wait until they finish Clash of Kings on TV, then read all the books before they televise Storm of Swords. That way you don't get confused reading a book about the same stuff that's happening in the show, plus you do justice to the books :tongue:
