Hot Heart Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Finished season one. It really was rather good. Also, where did Dinklage learn that accent from? Eddie Izzard routines? EDIT: Oh, and those who have read the books, with episode 9... when Ned confessed to treason. It appeared that Cersei was ready to show mercy to him. Does the book give any clear indication whether this was all a planned act or if Joffrey was really being a total shit making the decision himself?

P4: Gritty Reboot Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 It was a spur of the moment thing on Joffreys part to appeal to the crowd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Ah, thanks! Thought it might be, because of what Tywin and Tyrion discuss in the following episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I think it's pretty explicit in the book that sending Ned to the wall was the more savvy thing to do and that Cersei knew this. She was definitely not planning on Ned's head becoming a permanent resident of King's Landing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I've finished the second book and honestly, I don't think I'm gonna read the third till this summer at the earliest.I have WAY too many games to play, and the shows seasons are about a year apart so I can easily read the books alongside the series until the next book is released.

Waldorf and Statler Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 You're making a huge mistake. Not sure if that's a reference, but I'm gonna read the third book this summer, and I know I need to read the fourth and fifth alongside so....

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I don't think Waldorf's doing it a bad way. He's going to read it a pace he's comfortable with AND give enough time for the other books to actually come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Exactly. If I did it like I do with TV shows, I'd be done with all of the books within a semester and then have to wait with the rest of the fans for GRRM's slow writing, I have loads of other series I can read.

Chewblaha Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Eh. That family tree is good for matching faces with names, but a better one would be those from Tower of the Hand. As long as you don't fill out your scope dropdown bars, then you won't see any spoilers at all. http://towerofthehand.com/books/houses.html It's really useful and spoiler-free (unless you fill in the aforementioned scope).

Waldorf and Statler Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I don't even think I'll be able to recognize every location and name on that map after reading the book without a quick wiki check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Yeah, I mean those are really detailed, but the ones I posted are more just quick-ref and great for first-season watchers. Also gotta say I love Tower of the Hand & highly recommended for following along with any summaries or characters whose names you may not recognize.

Mal Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) My body is ready. My joy will burn turn the sky on fire. Edit: Holy shit. I finished the 7th episode today and I shat bricks by the end. Sadly, I read the first three books...

Thursday Next Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Why did Rob need to cross at the Twins then? Think I need to go back to the start and re-read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Why did Rob need to cross at the Twins then? Think I need to go back to the start and re-read. Back when... Rob went down to save his father? Well, first off Rob just can't storm King's Landing directly with Lannister's forces behind him. So he is forced to face the Lannisters out in the field first. At that time, Jaime was around Riverrun so Rob went towards Jaime. Then there is the part where Rob got to make sure that the Freys, if I recall the house of the Twins, have his back. And that is how Tywin Lannister shitted gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 He was splitting his forces in two, with one group marching straight down the Kingsroad to face Lord Tywin and the other part led by him going to liberate Riverrun and face Jaime's forces.
