siddious Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 See, I didn't mind those half as much. As you'll come to find out in ADWD, Sunspear/Dorne matter big-time. The Ironborn do not. I guess I will find out. I mostly just want to see cersei get killed lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I discussed this over and over with a friend, who actually says that the first half of ADWD bored the hell out of him and he liked AFFC more. (propably because I had lowered his expectations before he read it :D) Anyway, both books show how bad Martin's writers-block must have been when he wrote the first try of ADWD, that in the end was trashed as a whole and replaced by two books instead. In the first three books he managed the plot much better, less unnecessary characters and the action and information was more concentrated or in other words: He needed less chapters to tell the same amount of story. Hopefully that's behind him now and we can get the last two books quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRangers92 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Well, Melisandre "birthing" the shadow beneath Storm's End should be very interesting to see on the show this season... damn that was weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Yeah, I'm really curious how they plan to handle that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Dreamer Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Agree, too much build-up for them to be a non-factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I disagree with the Ironborn. I don't know how they're going to factor, but they will... Oh, they're a factor, but hardly an important one yet. The biggest of them is Victarion, but of yet I've seen no real long-term use for anyone other than Theon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Well they are said to have something to controll Dragons, so they might be a factor for Dany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRangers92 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 oh so it was only his ghost/Tywin, depending on who told it. Lame, oh well. Oh and fuck Theon. What a doucher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRangers92 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 finally finished the 2nd book and am now all caught up for Sunday... about the preview chapter at the end: I kinda like Olenna Redwyne. I feel like I know who they should cast for her but cant remember the name. They seem to be casting mostly unknowns anyway, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Olenna becomes a much bigger player in the third or fourth book, can't recall which off the top of my head, but her presence is not coincidental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRangers92 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I feel like there was a pretty big spoiler in the preview chapter with the subtle mention of Arya being a rebel leader. I know she escapes in the 2nd book but thats all it said about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Olenna becomes a much bigger player in the third or fourth book, can't recall which off the top of my head, but her presence is not coincidental. AFFC It's the fourth, where her gold coins are found in Tyrion's cell. I still think Olenna's role is yet to be played out - she's going to be a fun character in TWOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Head Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Meh. I was never a big medieval programming guy, be it Lord of the Rings or shows like this. The language barrier was always a problem for me —*could never really get a hang of that twang to follow the show closely enough to realize what was really happening. How far we have come :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck Head Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Yaaaa, but you also had the best post in this whole thing! I can't say how fun it was watching you all develop with season 1. Been around these books since they each came out, and just sat back waiting for the hook to set :) Robb Stark, the King of the North is born. Jon Snow, true Soldier of the Night's Watch is born. Daenerys Stormborn is reborn. Three Targareyon dragons are born. -- I can't fuckin' wait for Spring 2012! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I'm AMPED for Sunday, Jason. Seriously amped. I actually get the sense we'll have a bit of a GDT for it here. HAHA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
