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

[Smoothrich]

Stannis actually has lots of funny dialogue in the book, very dry and witty. He pretty much just walks around calling people out on BS while owning them with one-liners. Jon Snow even wonders to himself that it's hard to tell when or if Stannis is joking or being serious, during one of their many entertaining conversations where Stannis just shit talks him to stay amused (before and after doing any real diplomacy) while presumably chainsmoking cigs on the wall.

I think most of u just like Stannis cause his one of the few characters from the start, who isnt dead yet. Simple as that. He's a complete twat. In the last episode that scene was literally the first thing he did right. Giving a crap about the shit going on beond the wall, while others were too busy with thumbs up their asses. Really over the course of this 100 pages nobody ever stated that Stannis was cool. But I think you just jumped the bandwagon. He was a twat and he still is a twat. U just rooting for him cause he's the least horrible choice now.

One of the biggest disappointments in the story for me was when Stannis lost the battle of Blackwater. I dislike all the killing heretics stuff but he's pretty badass and the latest episode made me like him more.

I like Stannis as a character in general, but I can't stand that freaking red woman and all this religion thingie... Hope she dies soon, in a brutal way.

If she dies Stannis loses one of his major secret weapons/OP weapons.
The way Daenerys got Dragons and Starks had/got direwolves. Stannis got a priestess that could revive dead ones and summon shadows amongst other things.

He's not under her spell and only converted to Lord of Light because it could help him secure his claim to the throne.


Stannis will die and won't sit on the iron throne in the end because the showrunners are phaggots who hates Stannis and George doesn't really care about Stannis that much i'd bet but him as a king would be epic and he's the FUCKING MANNIS!

So with end of this season it ended a book as well right? I was thinking on continuing the story through the books.

[Moncho]

The story is pretty much at the end of A Storm of Swords, but it has taken some chapters from the next books Feast for Crows and Dance with Dragons, and some of the changes that have happened in the series may cause confusion, even if the story got to the same place, because of things not mentioned in the show. It has also not covered some of the final episodes in the Wall and the Epilogue that are important

All the rooting for stannis has always seemed bizarre, book stannis is more likeable but still not relatable. His onion knight is probably the most relatable character to me in the books, but hes too stupidly loyal to root for.

all the main characters jon, arya, tyrion, dany start to piss you off. the only character I still root for is the blackfish!

Hahaha direwolves as secretweapons.  One has a woman that spawns vaginademons, other one has dragons that can level an entire city. I dont think overgrown dogs count for anything really.

Direwolves are the shizz. But not necessarily ''secret weapons of mass destruction'' but you get the gist of it.
Most big houses/factions got some advantage over the other ones. Apparently the doggies get bigger and bigger so soon they'll be a bigger threat.

And yes ''vaginademons'' could easily kill someone like Daenerys a'la Renly if she's not cautious. I'd like to see their Dragons stop a shadow demon of doom.

What has sweet little sociopath Arya done to piss you off, I wonder.

I don't recommend. If you wanna read, read from start.

Nymeria...gloves.....NYMERIA GLOVES! ^__^

Yes, well, going to the south =/= money

In the south, the life style is different, and money will be of course, more important than in the grand North.
And i don't think they will refuse golds.
It's not like Stannis will pay them with literature.

[Freland]

This. If you do not start with the first book you will be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of characters (over 1200 named characters). Also the show has diverged quite a bit from the books - some characters are even living at the end of book 5 which are already dead in the show.
