Slightly off topic...

Sean Bean is a badass in real life too. Dude gets stabbed, refuses treatment and goes back into the bar and orders another drink!

06-14-2011, 02:02 PM

haha, that is great. i hope he put a hurtin' on the other guy!

Sean Bean is a badass!

On a series related note, I hope Joffery dies a horrible and slow, painful death. I definitely don't like that character, and he just looks pretty damn creepy, IMO.

Daenerys Targaryen...yes please.

Just watched the latest episode and WOW. I'm like the rest of you not liking Ned getting killed. It seems like all the good guys die and the bad guys get out of everything. What a great series though. I have a question without any spoilers if you can. I k ow that this Sunday is the series finale, I was wondering if it's also the end of the book 1 as well or will season 2 also be part of book 1, or will it be book 2.

From the preview it looks as if the series will end as book 1 did and it leaves everything wide open and a big to be continued for sure. The ending is going to be cool but leaves no doubt the story continues.

Peter Dinklage and Sean Bean are the only reasons I watched this show. Their characters are/were great.....

I despise, almost violently...that stupid little bastard boy king. He has a face you could just punch endlessly. Also the queen "lena Headey" has the worst acting on the show and is very annoying as well. "King Joffery?" Sounds like a prime and proper king *wheres the sissy smiley*

Seems also kinda stupid that it looks like Drogo is dead for sure. See they went on saying how bad@$$ he is and before we could see him kill more than like 2 people he goes out like b!tch to a paper cut.

I think I'll finish up this season and call it quits. It looks like what could have been a great show is already over IMO.

I don't care what the reason is you don't kill off the main character and best actor on the show. That makes ZERO sense. Who are they going to market for the 2nd season? They have no one.

This one will only go 2-3 seasons. Mark my words.

/end rant (sorry, I'm so annoyed by TV these days)

It is all just following the book. Makes you want to go up to George R.R. Martin and give him

A vicious beating? Yes

I'm not sure they know how TV works......you cannot off the guy on the front of the cover/advertisement in the 9th episode of the first season.

Would you watch Sopranos if Tony died in the first season? I doubt it.

Would The Wire be the best show ever if they killed McNulty off in the 9th episode? Nope, the 10th episode would be the end of the show.

Books or no books IMHO they just f*cked themselves. We'll see if I'm right, only time will tell.

What they did here was use Sean Bean, they used his name, his fame, to sell their show and now they are hoping people watch it without him. They will lose viewers for this.

They really have to realize half the people watching the show never read the books. So they don't care if it follows the books or not. Hell I didn't even know there was books for this show. That's how little it matters if you follow them.

There are books?

Just caught this thread and have been enjoying the series so far - but I do hope the little bastard ends up with pole run through him from the rear up.

I agree that killing off what seems to be the main characters is bad tv. I haven't read the books but I will continue to watch to see if some of the other characters get theirs. But it will be hard if there are no main characters to follow except for the ones you despise.

`The Wire` sucked hard. McNutty was the worst actor EVER!

blugill · 06-18-2011, 04:24 PM

There really aren't a lot of main characters in the books, all go to very unexpected places in the story, well the ones that survive anyway. The story changes, turns, and twists and I'm only in the last part of the second novel.

Bring in the necromancers!

Brutus2600 · 06-19-2011, 08:11 PM

Yeah, I cannot imagine waiting to find out what happens between books for anybody who's just watching the show or was reading the books as they came out (they were VERY far spaced apart). It was bad enough for me waiting between chapters much less a year between seasons

That's how television rolls though! Oh well

I want a funking DRAGON!

You say that like there's something wrong with that, Al.

Bill86 · 06-19-2011, 09:58 PM

If it weren't for the dragons I would have chalked up the finale as a piece of crap. However the dragons have me intrigued......but I dunno if that will be enough to ever get me to watch another episode.

If they kill that fruity king joffery please PM me so I can watch his head get chopped off in 1080p slow motion instant replay.

Same goes for the Queen.
