HBO's Game of Thrones. [No Book Spoilers]

[Astinus]

I didn't remember that the knight of flowers was gay in the book, is that right or just in the tv show?

it was never clearly stated, but there were lots of hints about that

yeah, there are hints but I never got them, too.
I think they did a great job keeping close to the books whilen changing/interpreting some stuff more fitting for this media. You also have to keep in mind that the books are allways written from limited perspectives of a few characters. You simply can't do that on TV/movies (IMO), so it makes perfect sense to invent scenes like the ones between Varys and Petyr or Renly and Loras and flesh out things that are only mentioned marginally in the books.

Okay. At first i thought this series is gonna be lame. For example take the over-americanized-oiled-womens-dream with delicate eyebrows and beard Khal Drogo.
Some things just were "too smooth" in the show.

But now after watching the 5th Episode i have to say they did a great job with the cast and apart from the minor flaws its pretty good actually.
It leaves me yearning for more.

Christ, some people seriously need better gaydar.

[Leesin]

Knight of flowers, even his name made me think he was a poofter.

[Anal Bleeding]

the book didn't have an explicit homoerotic scene like the tv show i don't think.
anyway HBO likes to show lots of smut, etc

You little nerds need to go outside for once in your life instead of pretending that you are some kind of medieval knight or whatever nerd shit you little aspies do.

You little nerd need to go outside for once in your life instead of pretending that you are some kind of forum troll or whatever nerd shit you do.

Here fixed just for you

Randomly hating on people on the internet in a puerile and trite manner.
Accusing other people of being immature and having social disorders.

Oh, you.

Lol,my thoughts exactly =). The guy's approach is too straight-forward.

Don't read if you don't want spoilers:

(click to show/hide)

That was totally pointless to write since people who have read the books know this, and I assume you're only intention is in fact to get some poor curious person and spoil his series.

I agree. but i did find it VERY amusing they cast sean bean because he dies in every film hes in lol, so casting him alone was a spoiler

[Banok]

anyway episode 5 was one of the best, although the series is all about the plots, I did love to finally see some sword fights

and yeah ned starks character is not that smart, but hes still awesome. and characters with flaws are more realistic and so more interesting don't ya think?

I ordered the book decided to read it again, defo dont remember any bumsex.

[Olwen]

yeh, it was damn lame, and fuck dual wielding

[Joxer]

Calls us aspies and what is he himself doing? Trolling online.
