Silly rant below. Double warning for members who haven't read the books all the way through (or haven't been spoiled, at least) to seriously not open the spoiler tab.

Re: ASOIAF: Game of Thrones
Idk why I even kept watching through this season. They really fucked up a lot of the storylines. Like the only ones they got mostly right were Arya and Cersei (and kinda Dany I guess but I don't care as much about that >_>). Everything else was just so incredibly fucked up.

Re: ASOIAF: Game of Thrones
I don't watch the show or read the books at all, but I'm pretty sure Dany and Arya are the only stories that matter?
Certainly, it feels that way from the outside and maybe Tyrion.

Re: ASOIAF: Game of Thrones
Me too, sort of. I enjoyed the season from start to finish, but when it wrapped up it didn't feel like enough had happened for a full season. The only plots that felt concluded in any way were the ones around the Wall (though of course, the Wall storyline is really only just beginning but YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN). Arya's story was very good, but felt like it could have all been covered in half a season, and did it really need to take Tyrion 8 episodes to meet Dany? His whole journey felt a bit dragged out (but his eventual arrival and entrance at the fighting pit was one of the highlights of the season).fingersplints wrote:I feel the same.reywaS wrote:I have mixed feelings on season 5.

I've been deliberately avoiding the books so I can enjoy the show on its own merits. I think it's working. If i'd read the books i assume i'd have a number of complaints that don't even exist in my ignorant brain right now. The show is doing just fine.

Finally gave in and started watching this three days ago. Almost done with Season 2 #addicted

I don't know enough to construct a game! It's ripe for adapting though and it's certainly got the fanbase to fill up quickly.

Re: ASOIAF: Game of Thrones
Keys, Splints husband, did at the Piano.I started to here but there are sooo many factions, I was thinking of it as a challenge. I think I would like to see how Timmer & MP do Wheel of Time. The way the Flash played out gave me some ideas, too. Basically I was thinking of it as a fluid alignment game. Almost everyone can be recruited, but only by certain people. Some people can be recruited more than once. Not everyone know who can recruit them, although some might.zeek wrote:Finally gave in and started watching this three days ago.

I was basing my alignments on the books, not the shows. But I don't know how Spoiler-y that would be. For instance, I had thought to (BOOK SPOILERS)

Re: ASOIAF: Game of Thrones
I think I will submit it to the Speed Queue~ then we can tailor roles to the number of sign ups we have, and if it is awesome, we can then rerun it as a full game with 30+ roles, and if it is awful, well, it was worth trying

Tonight! Tonight! Hot Damn it is coming tonight!
Bonus points if anyone can guess the movie that is from btw.
Also, this will be the first time many of us will have no idea what is about to happen. I feel pressured and at risk.

No, that is a line from "A Christmas Story" when the Dad's major prize is on the way.
Before I start replying to people and espousing my opinion on things, I don't think most of you know how I roll when it comes to stuff like this. I am along for the ride. The only time I have ever gotten upset when something diverged from any book was OOTP, which was a fucking travesty of a movie and it disgusts me. Other than that, I am usually pretty good with what I get as long as it is close. Hollywood is run by morons, so I have low expectations.

TV Show AND Book spoilers. I don't think the book spoilers will ruin the show for anyone since we've diverted from it, but if you plan to read the book and want to be surprised I'd suggest you don't look at the below.
