I honestly thought that this was a troll from how the post was worded. Haha.question, why did they depict renly and knight of flowers as gay lovers on the tv show when it was never confirmed in the books?

No, you can't have a whole season of a show missing one of its most popular characters(short of killing them off permanently). Books 4 and 5 will have to be weaved together chronologically into a season or two, with probably some large chunks completely skipped that don't feature current (books 1-3) big characters.They could probably do Book 4 and 5 in three-ish total seasons without any of the splitting up by geography bullshit.
Could the world really handle a year (possibly two?) without Tyrion?
No one wants some expensive sissy wine, give us a good Dornish Red though i'd buy that.Interesting, but it's all going to taste like piss unless it's really expensive... which it will probably be anyway.
I want to see if they come out with Arbor Gold.
I haven't read a single book in the series as of yet.Is there anyone who hasn't been spoiled or read the books left?
It's shit like this that make me not like the show after reading the books. They spend SO much time with the Renly-Loras "love" when it never happens in the book and is supposed to be an assumed thing.question, why did they depict renly and knight of flowers as gay lovers on the tv show when it was never confirmed in the books?
I'm sure you've heard this a million times by now, but you're really missing out. The books are significantly better than the show, which is quite good in and of itself.I haven't read a single book in the series as of yet.
without going into spoilers. id say 10 years is a seriously ambitious deadline for george RR martin.I'm sure they are, but I refuse to start a series that isn't finished yet and by the pace he is going, wont be finished for another 10 years.
I do not think that will happen, but I cannot really say why without spoiling Dance.I stopped reading the novels after A Feast for Crows, I think they released the other half of it now.
It didn't "feel" the same as the other previous books because of the way they split it up. I'm hoping if I wait long enough they will redistribute it in a new form.
I wonder if Martin could do some sort of digital release with the two split up books organized like the previous novels were. It would bypass the publishing limitations at least.
I think I can still enjoy the parts of the story revealed in the show even if I go back and read the novels again. I have been known to reread series I liked in the past.
This is EXACTLY my husband's position. He's still pissed over the other series (wheel of time I think or something?)I'm sure they are, but I refuse to start a series that isn't finished yet and by the pace he is going, wont be finished for another 10 years.
I don't know. Its reported that as part of his contract with HBO Martin's supposed to have this shit wrapping up in time for shooting schedules of future seasons and we're already on 3 at this point.without going into spoilers. id say 10 years is a seriously ambitious deadline for george RR martin.
It was extremely obvious in the book. The fact is that the books are written in POV and the show is not, so clearly stuff that was implied in the books will be in-your-face on the show. It happened in the books, you just weren't there to hear all the slurping.It's shit like this that make me not like the show after reading the books.

Pretty much every character talking about the situation made a subtle or snide comment on Renly/Loras, and GRRM even threw in some (not so) subtle meta-humor with the whole 'Rainbow Guard' thing.It was extremely obvious in the book.
