An excellent series is defined by the wiewers emotional (negative or positive) attachement to characters

I still haven't watched the first season but I've read all 5 books, only finished up A Dance With Dragons last week. Long slog but totally worth it. Brilliant story so far.

Now to get caught up and watch episode 4 so I'm at least making head way on the show and can start watching season 2.

Tyrion, Jon, Arya and surprisingly Dany for me are my favorite 4. Can't wait to see season 3/4, book 4 was a great little side story told from a great number of less important but still plot relevant characters.

The only rule, and I mean THE ONLY RULE, you have with this series, and I mean the books, is don't get attached to any character. As soon as you like them, they die.

The books are great. I read the first one and got ahead of the series as I couldn't put it down. I'm not doing that for the second season. I'm only reading along with the series, and not ahead.

Theon Greyjoy's sister Asha is pretty....ah....mannish looking, isn't she?

Outstanding last two episodes. Wow, so many plot points wrapped up or advanced. This is TV done right (like Breaking Bad, unlike Sons of Anarchy and the woefully dumb Walking Dead).

So now... then long winter until season three...

Dowly · 06-05-12, 09:30 AM

As much as I love the show, the slow pace is really starting to tick me off.

I thought first season was slow, but then came the 2nd and it was 8 episodes of
pretty much nothing and 2 episodes of quickly wrapping things up to a cliffhanger
ending.

Just read hte bloody books at your own pace and quit complaining

Yep, especially the very end of that final episode! I've started on the books now too (mrs' kindle versions) as there's no way I'll last a whole year!

But what a cliff hanger! Wow! last nights episode was fantastic in so many different ways.

I'm really enjoying the show. I think the pace is just about right and rather than the 'Sopranos in Middle Earth' tag it got landed with early on, it's seems much more like the Wire now in the way it doesn't hold your hand when it comes to remembering who that character who appeared for a scene in series one, episode 5 is when they reappear, and what plots they fit into.

I also like they seem to have done the moral ambiguity of many of the characters correctly. what I mean is they haven't been shy of handling the more human side of characters like Little Finger, and they've done it in a subtle and believable way where it could have been very heavy handed. For all the blood and gore, there is a lot of subtlety in the books.

Can't wait. It'll be April before it's on, won't it?

Well, Sky are showing their new Sinbad show in a few weeks which might be good for a laugh. I wonder when the Borgias and Boardwalk Empire are coming back?

mookiemookie · 06-05-12, 02:18 PM

Boardwalk Empire is going to be back after this season of True Blood...so say in about 10 weeks or so.
