There is nothing interesting about it. Girlfriend showed it to me the other day. Was just a bunch of talk in medieval time. I have more creativity in my left pinky.

The one thing i didn't like about this season was that they didn't show the battle with the white walkers army, but they showed them marching at the end scene of season 2.

Man, I hadn't even read the books when I posted this.

Fuck GRR Martin. Seriously. Asshole.

I found out the reason the mother notices the song they're playing is because it is a song about the defeat of House Reyne by House Lannister (called The Rains of Castamere, the title of the episode) The Lannister daughter mentions what happened to House Reyne when she warns Joffrey's wife.

But you just have to keep on reading! ;)

Where do you live? I got given it for Xmas but the people who I would of played it with went back overseas. I still havent' even played the game. Opened the box but never been played. I can sell you mine. PM me if you want.

The key to watching GoT is to remember that George R.R. Martin is a horrible, horrible man, and will slaughter everyone you love and hold dear, in the most brutal and emotionally draining way possible.

Theres this game http://www.gameofthronesmmo.com/ , but its not out yet:S

Bit hard to picture a medieval show with automatic assault rifles and low-orbit ion cannons. :-k

"Joffrey", but other than that, yes! to everything you said.

Agree with this.

Spoiler in case anyone hasn't seen season #1 yet and is planning to;
[spoiler]I didn't honestly believe Lord Stark was going to be beheaded until it had been done. A predictable (and expected) storyline would have seen the nominal hero of the series (up until that point) saved at the last minute.[/spoiler]

Are you talking about computer games?

Because the boardgame has an average rating of 8.26 / 10 on http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/103343/a-game-of-thrones-the-board-game-second-edition

and is currently ranked 39th out of over 5000 board games.

Planning on picking it up soonish.

There are shitloads of people that are totally not into Fantasy and they love the show.

Its not that fantastical at all, and its really a slow burn into the magic shit.

I'm tempted to get it and give it a try. But I've never been into this sort of stuff. Dunno.

I actually think its the opposite of this. Some people are just turned off by the fantasy genre and therefore can't or don't want to enjoy it. Im not into any fantasy shit at all except for this and LOTR because they are both amazing books come series/movies.

This, this guy knows his shit. How anyone can say the characters are boring is beyond me, they all have there own story, most also have ambition, they all have there own very distinct personality.

The story is great.

some shitty french company has had the rights for ages. It should of been stripped from them cos they always fuck up good books/games.

Why do you always get so upset about thread titles....

You must be off your face on crack then.

I've just been through a massive Sons of Anarchy phase so I put GOT to the side but I can't wait to resume, I think I've seen up untill S2 episode 5.

It's a very well done show, good acting, great production quality and thrilling story.

I don't really have an overwhelming favorite but the likes of Tyrion, Rob, Bron, Daenarys' advisor/body guard (name escapes me), Ned, John etc are very likable characters.

What they've done really well is create such an easily loathed character in Geoffrey, I hated the smarmy little prick on first sight before he'd even opened his mouth, his later actions just keep intensifying your hatred so well. Daenarys' brother was also very well done in how easy it was to hate him, but unlike Geoffrey he had no real power or any kind of threat but just a pathetic arrogance.

Thats such bullshit. I've never seen a show that is more deceiving in that manner. They make you think you know where it's going and then do a complete 360. Example: it seemed so obvious Daenarys would get the Dothraki to go to war with Kings landing. It got close but then ended up just fizzling out with a non traumatic death of a main character and then went in a completely different direction. Who could have predicted that?

Isn't this what the TV thread/What-are-you-watching-right-now thread is for?

I love Game of Boobs.

P.S. Sorry Afro but you're talking out of your arse. Lead you to the conclusion my fartpipe. You saw Ned's actions coming did you?

:roll:

-PB

I watched the first few episodes LITERALLY fell asleep I was so bored. It is basically just a medieval version of Neighbours, the actors are boring and the characters impossible to empathise with because they are such turds. Anything medieval involving snow zombies and antiquated weapons is to be avoided. Give me Uwe Boll epic any day over this shit.

It's soap-opera style plot lines. They lead you to the conclusion too much.

I was gonna say :lol: Can't really call the plot lines basic when you admit to only watching something like half of 1 episode :lol:

As for basic plot lines, :lol: some of the plot, especially in the later books is some of the most convoluted shit you will ever see shit is jumping around all over the place :lol: such a confusing book to read at times because of the way it's set out and I think that's where they're gonna have some big problems trying to stay faithful to the material.

Now I know you're just talking crap :lol:

Considering you admitted to barely watching an episode, not entirely sure how you managed to come to all those conclusions...

Yeah, I think a lot of the 'critical acclaim' is just from the genre fangirls. Everything I've seen of it the script writing has been inarticulate, the acting stilted and the plot-lines pretty basic.

I think you already have to have an interest/enjoyment in this sorta fantasy, the magic/dragons/knights etc. If you don't the show probably isn't going to hold much interest for you.
