Game of Thrones

[Gem]

From the stuff I've read online in regards to what books are going to supply the contents of what seasons of the show season 2 will be based on book 2 and be 10 episodes (it was confirmed in some article linked off the fb page) and I'd read that they want to do book 3 over two seasons. I really enjoyed the show, kinda wish I didn't have to wait a year to see more.

If they do book 3 over 2 seasons that'll give George RR Martin an extra year to write books 6 and 7 lol

How very optimistic, Kaz

I could, very easily, go off on a rant about the books. But I won't. Suffice it to say that George didn't have to lead me on with the promise of conclusion. The books are interesting enough to me that it wasn't necessary to "trick" me in this maddening fashion. ** I just finished Dance with Dragons and am glad the saga goes on, but dammit some conclusions need to happen! (Read: Cersei must DIE or I will lose all love of the story...hee)

Anyway, the series was fantastic. I loved it. Not a ton of deviation, and the actors and scenery were very close to what I visualized when I read the book(s). Love it.

After the complete bastardization/deviation that is the Sookie Stackhouse (True Blood) stories made into series, Thrones is wonderful.

**If you haven't read the books, first it was a four book set and for whatever reason (living under a rock in NorCal, who knows) I thought it was a "completed set". At the end of book four, A Feast for Crows I was led to believe that A Dance with Dragons was the end. Nope. And there are no more books in the series out yet!!! Ack!!! WTF am I sposed ta do til he gets around to finishing another one?. Bastages. Now I see he plans to release 2 more total. And still, all I can say is CERSEI MUST DIE!!!

We need spoiler tags!

This isnt as bad as the time that South Park ruined the end of Lord of the Rings, but any spoiler does make me die a little inside.

And I still rue the day South Park ruined Lord of the Rings.

And still, all I can say is CERSEI MUST DIE!!!

No! No no no nooo.

At least not until Tyrion gets to have a roll. AFTER she is forced to watch Arya skin Joffrey alive, very slowly, AFTER she is forced to watch Catelyn castrate Jaime and ram his balls down his throat. That incestuous bitch is evil incarnate if you ask me.

[Kaz]

I'm going to assume that the conclusion is going to need all of the dragons (or at least 2 of them) north of the wall, allied with the nights watch and mance rayder.

Anyone south of the wall probably needs to die to get to that point.

I cant see a reason for Cersei to go north and possibly have enough storyline to survive the experience lol

Though, while I've not read the SOokie books, I've heard the most recent one was the best. For whatever it's worth.

[Nagash]

I bought the books and will check the show on telly once I've read them. Heard a lot of good stories about both.

[owly]

Some Guy named George R R Martin says the Game of Thrones is stolen anyone here hear about this?

[owly]

George is saying the script was stolen even

[Nagash]

He's the writer, so he oughta know.

[owly]

I guess his latest script, I wonder if the thief stoled it from US postoffice and his crime is considered a felony. In any event looks like you going to have to wait longer for the next show/book and give your author time to rewrite ain't that about a bitch. I can see your all are very passionate and inspired by this Guy to bad some jerk had to foul it up.

He's already published books that'll cover the next 5 years of the series

Book 1 : A Game of Thrones = Series Year 1 (2011)
Book 2 : A Clash of Kings = Series Year 2 (2012)
Book 3 (part 1) : A Storm of Swords - Steel & Snow = Series Year 3 (2013)
Book 3 (part 2) : A Storm of Swords - Blood & Gold = Series Year 4 (2014)
Book 4 : A Feast for Crows = Series Year 5 (2015)
Book 5 : A Dance with Dragons = Series Year 6 (2016)

Unwritten

Book 6 : The Winds of Winter = Series Year 7 (2017)
Book 7 : A Dream of Spring = Series Year 8 (2018)

There's still a few years before the series is in peril.

[edit]

Stolen scripts were signed copies of the first season, not the early drafts of the next book(s)

I imagine that he'll have the next book out by the time they've finished the sixth season (if they don't get canceled before then, which would be a huge bummer). I mean the longest so far that he's taken between books is what? Six years?
