It's just a flesh wound?

I mean how many of us have an investment in Stark. I mean, we've had to endure his plight from the beginning. To have the main character meet their demise in season one is a great turn of the the plot but it leaves me feeling a little tired.

Frankly hes the only character besides the hot Dragon Girl that I even care about...

Dont even get me started on his young son whos with the night watchman...

And how slow are they pulling in the zombies? Only a couple mentions thus far but have a feeling it plays a bigger role later.

That being said, cant wait for next week...

Arya Stark (real name = Maisie Williams) is my fave character. How can ya not root for her. And as stated earlier this is her first ever tv/movie role, crazy how good an actress she is with zero experience:scared



I hope some how, some way we can see her kill this twirp:

Note: Joffrey Baratheon (real name = Jack Gleeson) character is one ya love to hate. Gleeson does a great job playing the "little wimp".

I was wondering about the books. It looks like there are a few. But is only the first called Game of Thrones? Is the series just based on the first book?

They can't change the name of the show when they go from book to book can they?

 

[kickserv]

I have not read the book......so do not ruin it for me (and others)

Any madjacker that spoils it for me (and others) will be hunted down and decapitated.



:nono:


Yes a tad drastic....but deserved.

 

[PocketAces]

I don't want them spoiled either. I just don't know what to buy yet.

How could an entire tv series be based on one book of a series?

Someone should be able to answer that without spoil anything.

So far there have been 4 books. Starting in 1991, with book 5 due out this July.

The whole book series is called Song of Ice and Fire.

Book 1 was the only one called Game of Thrones, but I think they decided it was catchier to just call the whole HBO series that.

Book 2 is called Clash of Kings. That is what Season 2 will be based on.

and so on, assuming the show isn't canceled anytime soon.

The books are big, and they haven't left much out in the shows(thank god). That's how they managed to turn one book into 10 hours of programming.

The biggest difference between the book and the show is that each chapter in the book followed one character's point of view, and you only saw things through their eyes.

There were like 8 or 10 characters who they switched back and forth between. One chapter would be Sansa, then Ned, then Tyrion and so forth. Some characters don't ever have point of view chapters, so you never hear what they are thinking.
In the show they had to fill in some of the narrative and back story by showing scenes that never took place in the book. Like the scene where Jamie Lannister (Kingslayer) talks to his father in a tent as Tywin butchers a deer never happened in the book. But it served the purpose as setting up who the dad was, and what his temperament was, whereas in the book this was only addressed in a narrative of Tyrion's (The Imp) thoughts in one of his own chapters.

I won't give away anything that happens, partially because I don't remember everything and partially cause I'm not an ass. :0008

That was some finish. I was about to flip when she waded in to the fire. I wouldn't normally ever watch a show like this but it caught my attention and like others had to catch up. Now I'm hooked.

That would have concerned me too, but kick had already spoiled it.
