Why on earth anyone would want this to go more than 7 seasons is beyond me. Say they find the money to make it happen, the show sits on the edge of profitability, they start filming the extraneous filler, viewership tanks and it gets cancelled. Grats you never get the ending. Maybe HBO out...

Oh no it is most definitely a serious critique against the films. I realize that small/weak/useless race like hobbits can contribute and ultimately be the heroes who save middle earth is kind of the premise of LOTR, but only when you frame it just so. How it should have ended version of...

Never read hobbit or lotr. Just watch these films as a fantasy/cinema fan. The best version of the LOTR films is accomplished by removing every scene with just Hobbits in it. From the 3 films you end up with a 3 hour epic fantasy battle movie. It's the story of the races of middle earth...

the final season(s) after multiple contract extensions for network TV shows with ad and syndication revenue. different all together. also about ER, that was the licensing cost not production cost. Most expensive shows ever made. They were Mini-series co-financed by various production studios...

You think 200mil is a couple million? 200 mil a year is what it would take to pay the key actors 10x their current salary(a piddly 1-1.5mil per episode, far less than sitcom stars like seinfeld, friends, or BBT were/are bringing in for a far less demanding 30min per episode filming schedule)...

A little less gravy? What are we talking about here, 50k more an episode per actor? Thats a million more per episode or 10mil more per season. The economicsmightwork out at that rate. But who is going to lock themselves into another 3+ years of GoTs extremely arduous filming schedule for such...

too much facts in this post (which itself has already been discussed to death and already explicitly clarified by the show runners and HBO execs, 7 seasons period) leave khorum to his delusions. HBO will totally renegotiate the salaries of the largest ensemble cast ever assembled and pay...

as each new clip and trailer is released it's becoming clear that that leaked script from 2008 has, for the most part, remained intact. which is good because, purely on the visual imagery alone, that script is fucking epic.

you people seem to forget that they have only 3 seasons (5, 6, and 7) to completely finish the entire SONG OF ICE AND FIRE. That thing which is only 5 of 7 books complete (oh wait, now it's probably going to be 8, says the guy who is still no further writing book 6 than he was 3 years ago)...

Trystane doesn't get roasted, that's Marty. And most likely that whole plot is cut as well. They've aged both Trystane and Myrcella up, probably for some romeo/juliet-esque love plot. No Arianne means no Arys and that subplot (which looks to be altered anyway, with Jaime heading to dorne...

uh what...? Targ's aren't immune to fire, and certainly not to dragon fire. This idea was a show only creation not from the books. Given the huge number of targs who've died from either dragon fire (dance of dragons) or attempts at hatching dragon eggs (summerhall, et all) there's really no...

They are in the possession of Barbrey Dustin who harbors a grudge against both Catelyn and Eddard Stark and refuses to allow his bones to reach winterfell. edit: ok i remembered wrong, they are in the neck. if they ever leave the neck they will be in her possession.

Lsh gave brienne the option of "sword" or "noose" and then proceeds to hang her and her 2 companions, one of which is a 10 year old boy (podrick). while being hanged brienne utters 1 word, which grrm has already confirmed was "sword". She then releases brienne while keeping her 2 companions...

Actually all of this is just to counter the silly reddit theory. Again im on the road i cant do much fact checking. But im pretty sure the one and only indication anywhere in the books is the mention of Dragonsteel in the nw records, and its far more likely thats just an error on grrms part...

I can't look it up right now but im pretty sure the valyrians discovered the first dragons (in recorded history) inside the 14 fires. There were other protodragons like the wyrms that lived in the earth, sea dragons from iron born legends, etc. But actual dragons weren't around til the...

Except she doesn't decide to become a faceless man, she just walks off. When she reaches saltpans her first thought and question to the captain is can he take her to jon. Im not a book purist i regularly defend changes in the adaptation, the only thing i expect is for the show to remain...

Yeah the tv adaptation really screwed up the dynamic of that scene and arya as a character at that point of her development. if they know that they aren't headed to gravedigger vs sir robert strong for cersei's trial by combat then they should of just had arya finish the hound off. I mean i...

I disagree, but im on my cell in an airport so i won't try and quote text. Basically he says to jon i found mention of (commoner term for obsidian) then quotes from the reference, " the children used to give the watch obsidian."

I am outside its hot as balls here. Waiting on my ride to the airport to go someplace even hotter.

Neither peter dinklage nor charles dance were begging GRRM not to kill their characters off, they both know that there are at present, 5 books written, and Charles Dance knew that his character died at the end of the 3rd book (some fan spoiled it for him after he was cast to play Tywin. He...

The records say obsidian, not dragonglass. dragonglass is just the common, modern day term for the substance known to the educated, maesters, and children of the forest as obsidian. The dragonsteel is the only mention of the word "dragon" revealed to us thus far in the old records of the NW...

There is a massive difference between an actor not reading the books on which his scripts will be loosely based upon, and an actor not knowing that the goddamn books exist, already, long before said scripts are written. Bitch started pleading with GRRM to "not kill her character off" during...

There's so much wrong with that reddit post that it's hard to understand how anyone supports it. just off the top of my head without doing any sort of line by line book retorting: 1. There is no fire magic south of the wall at the time the wall was built (no targs, no dragons, no r'hllor...

as mentioned, in the show he went north because the red woman told him that's where the true battle against the great other (ie the enemy of her red god, can't remember if she used the term great other) was going to be. EDIT: NO BOOK SPOILERS OR TALK, SPOILED OR NOT ~ Thank you.

lol from that sibel interview: She really thinks that GRRM killed her character after GoT started. bitch that book was published in 2000. I remember in one of the GoT interview things someone asked George about killing characters and he mentioned a particular actress had asked him...

Their eyes don't match, unless they have colored contact lens in Essos (and colored glass eyes) then they aren't the same person. Then again, it took Jorah months to recognize Barristan Selmy the mother fucking lord commander of the King's Guard because he grew out a beard. so it's possible.

To be fair he doesn't have a whole lot of storyline in book 5 anyway, only 3 chapters. 2 of which were shown this season. If they followed the books, he would have just been travelling north of the wall, very slowly, this season. It's just his company walking (except for bran of course...

You mean Tysha. Talisa was a character they made up to be Robb's wife instead of Jeyne Westerling. Everyone I know who only watches the show and hasn't read the books loved that finale. The context for the TV version of the events was there and easy to understand, and in many ways makes...

First part was kinda funny. 2nd part was GRRM trolling book readers.

Varys disappears at the end of book 3 just as it was shown in the TV show and doesn't reappear until the god damn epilogue of Book 5. Having him go with Tyrion on the boat is the only thing that makes sense, so they can keep the actor employed for season 5. It's the same as theon in seasons...

Arya doesn't magically disappear behind a rock. The show both showed and explained it, it requires no further explanation. But because you are slow i'll sum it up for you. Pod goes after Arya while Brienne and the hound fight. That is clearly shown. Arya, who has been practicing at being...

That episode was awesome and I have no problem with the adaptation thus far. Book purist's sure are a bunch of whiny faggots. That was the greatest episode of GoT to date. Sorry you are butthurt and just now realizing after 4 seasons that a TV show is not a book and that the many, many, many...

Some snobbish rebuttals and minor details that may not have been directly revealed in the show: 1. The wildling army that was camped directly beneath the wall, just out of arrow range? They had 100k dudes it's not like they were hiding. They had a lot of stuff to cram into that episode, not...

So near the beginning of the Season I posted this. now that the season is completed lets see what I got right vs wrong: The last scene this season was Bran II, about 1/5 of the way through Dance. Bran only has 3 chapters total, ie 1 chapter of book material left to go. In it, he just talks to...

From aninterviewfrom earlier this year with Alex Graves, one of the director's on Game of Thrones: Obviously referring to the battle at the Wall (ep 9 was the skirmish at Castle Black) but what do you think is going to be so VFX heavy? The thing about filming mounted combat on horseback is, you...

Either of Old Age as Sterling said, some agent of Varys, or by Sansa's hand. I see LS having absolutely fuckall to do with his story, or anyone's story really. She hangs a few useless frey's and then gets her comeuppance by Jaime/Brienne, or perhaps Thoros of Myr finally ends her insanity.

LS Stark revenge??? Against who, Brienne of fucking Tarth? her loyal servant? Against Jaime Lannister, a knight who kept his word to Catelyn? ya maybe in book 1 you'd want revenge against jaime but the last thing the reader wants is for that revenge, it ruins his book arc. The only...

curled up in the fetal position like a bitch it looked like to me

The character was written as a silver lining for the red wedding since GRRM had so much trouble writing that scene. If you're going to throw a bone to the fans, of all the people who could of been resurrected, Catelyn is like the worst possible choice. Didn't give a fuck about you in life all...
