Stupid TV show with its crappy writing, they dare foreshadow things! I prefer my TV shows with deus ex machinas, the critics absolutely love that stuff too. To prove how bad the writing is, I will now predict the events that will take place in the Free Cities in Dance with Dragons:

Just predictin', we'll see if it comes true!!!

There's foreshadowing and then there is what I believe happened in that episode. Really every scene was fine, it could have just been cut in a more imaginative way, with the exception of Oberyn's scene which would have had to have been moved to a completely different time and setting. That could have created more drama and left me and my friends, I'm not alone in this. My film and writer friends all echo my sentiments more or less.

Anyway, it doesn't matter. But your snide uppity Finnish BS sure fell flat on it's snowy arse didn't it.

Nope. Your whiny bitching about one of the best received TV shows in history fell flat on its ass.

lol, the fuck, what kind of fanboy shit is this, sounds like he insulted one of your precious animes


also, frank was engaging with the TV show as a work of art, with a few critical observations about how decisions in editing for the season's pacing is making him enjoy the show less and explaining why, responding to posts with his points of view, as we post our own. That is called a "conversation" about "something we like talking about."

Has anyone ever met a decent Fin? When a country is so shit that even Russia passed over annexing it, its probably the people themselves fault.

That being said, the highpoint of the book series is a Storm of Swords, and we're already passed it in some of the storylines. As far as I'm concerned it's all downhill from there. I think that's why we're seeing so much more deviations from the book version compared to previous seasons. The further we get away from SoS and into Feast for Crows (popularly known as the boring one), the more changes will appear. I can't help but be reactionary on these changes, but maybe they will be better.

Don't even have to talk about it with friends, he's clicking on threads talking about the show- and people either spoil shit intentionally or try to be super "subtle" about it and failing. You can't help picking shit up if you read forums discussing GoT.

And Feast was boring, but didn't you think Dance was pretty good?

Currently reading feast for crows, and it does drag on for so much. I've gone half the book with hardly any Snow, Stannis, Arya, Bran anything with excitement. Too much focus is on Brienne, Jaime, Dorne and the Iron Islands

Gotta say, Feast of Crows felt like a huge drag first time I read it. Think it took me well over a month to finish it, compared to within a week for all the other ones. Recently I re-read all the books because I finally bothered to get my hands on Dance of Dragons and I quite enjoyed Feast for Crows. I presume that has to do with me already knowing how the story develops on my second read, so having all the important characters put on hold didn't bother me as much. What is left then is a book fleshing out some new story lines with a lot of background lore and worldbuilding. The whole Dorne thing, the Greyjoy business and the Eyrie were quite cool the second time I read it. Though still hate the fucking Brienne shit.

Did anyone else skip over the Daenerys parts of the books? When I read them those were the most boring chapters to me.

I find Daenerys a lame and annoying character and I let out the occasional sigh at the start of a Daenerys chapter, but skipping over stuff in any book, let alone ASOIAF, is plain old blasphemy.

If only the BBC had had the balls to push it for four seasons with HBO. Rome was brilliant.
