Question for you Rev as you have read them - are there any significant gaps between the books time wise? Cos I mean as they're basically shooting the series one after another it would be difficult to portray the characters as ageing much, since many are so young.


No, the time period over the 5 books is incredibly short for the amount of material there is. I can't remember if GRR Martin references the time period but I don't think the length of time from the start of book 1 and the end of book 5 is more than 2 years, maybe even 18 months. It gets shorter with each series, book 1 is quite a large time period but book 4, which is massive, probably only covers the period of a month or two.

Ah right. No worries then

I love the guy in your avatar, still don't really have a clue what his motives really are or what he's planning... I just know it's something devious

Ok so i finally got round to watching this. Three eposodes in and so far, incest, nudity, more nudity, a dwarf in a brothel and a bloke selling his sister to a war lord.

i'll be starting the books when I leave for the US next week but from what I've been told by friends who've read the books already, you can pretty much count on every main character getting killed off at some point.

After the first 2 seasons I read the summary of all the books, killing the thrill of the shows for myself. Haven't seen the 9th episode yet, but I have a feeling I'm going to cry. Just like when Ned died

Was a big old HOLY SHIT moment. You saw it coming around 20 mins into the episode, but it was still shocking.

Someone else I know did this. I don't get it. Either watch the show or read the books... reading a wikipedia summary, seriously wtf?

I want to read the books but I'm too busy, and I want to watch the shows but I'm too impatient. And also because someone already killed the big moments for me so I read the rest of the summary

The books are actually are a bit tiresome to read. Just because of the style in which they're written. Each chapter focusing on one character, by the time you've gone full circle and come to read about a character for the second time you have a hard job remembering them. I gave up halfway through the first one, which I was gutted with as books tend to always be better than the TV Shows / Films.
Going in one more round when you don’t think you can – that’s what makes all the difference in your life.

Watched all three seasons in the past couple of weeks.

All I can say is holy shit.

Also, I have to stop getting attached to characters, they all f***ing die.
