LindG1000 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'm about 100+ pages into A Game of Thrones now, and it's incredible how true-to-story the majority of the show has been to the book. Only small differences, really, like Tyrion not having two different colored eyes, etc. Even a lot of the dialogue is inherited, verbatim. Tyrion is still funny as all hell in the book.

LindG1000 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Oh god. I made a horrific mistake. I read the Wiki page on Eddard Stark and got a hilarious and nasty spoiler. Oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I stay away from GoT Wiki at all cost. I know reading it will make me continue to read and before I know it, I'll know the future of every major character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Ned comes back as a zombie to kill everyone who wronged him? :D On a side note, how nerdy would it be for me to download the theme song and use it as a ring tone to wake up to every morning? :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Just out of curiosity, I know Rhommer and myself are reading the books. Is anyone else doing so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Not right now, I have to wait till my dad finishes with the next volume, but I read them all twice allready. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I just passed the chapter where Daenerys and Drogo consummate their marriage in the book, which was nothing like the way the show depicted it. Drogo "asked" in the book. He straight up took that shit, prison style, in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Any word on when Season 2 would begin? I'd imagine we've got quite a bit of time between the finale and then, so with all of us reading, at least we'll still have reason to bump this thread every so often. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was one of my major complains so far, that and that they stole the scene were Dany stands up to her brother for the first time and takes away his horse.

H-Dreamer Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 That happened in the show, too. It happened only in the show, the book had Dany take away the horse not the bloodrider. Big difference, considering how much power he had over her until then. @Rhommy Sorry, right now I can't even remember the name the german version used. ;) ...,but accoring to Ice&Fire-Wiki you're right.

Phil Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 So with Ned out, and spoilers not included here (back off, Dreamer! :D), who steps up as the main protagonist now that Ned is headless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read GoT to the "crowning" of Viserys - but if I had to take a guess, either Robb or Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 That's my guess too, but I'm not really sure which will take the larger role. It seems Robb will be taking a larger role in terms of hierarchy, but I have a feeling you'll see more conflict with Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be fun to watch. Oh and he killed a zombie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
