Game Of Thrones: The Sopranos with swords or Dynasty in chainmail?

Glad you diggin it. The sad aspect to this is that Game of Thrones (and the whole Song of Ice and Fire series) really is one of a kind in the fantasy genre. Thats why you see so many failed adaptations of Fantasy literature in the movies and TV the genre still mostly deals in black and white, good and evil. It's the shades of gray that make things interesting.

The other thing that Martin (the author) did which is different from most fantasy is that he wasn't afraid to let major (even principal) characters die (and stay dead). Dealing with death (real and imagined) leads to a lot of character development in the series

Hell yeah. You blink in this joint and a major character is gone like the fucking wind.
 
dammit
i caught up and shit is wicked on these meant streets
i knew that he would be double crossed due to his honor
especially when he went on and on about how he wanted starks wife SMFH

the queen should have been dead and that little boy needs to die as well. he's already a bitch.

i don't know what to think right now about them crossing the sea, it might be whats needed, id rather them lead than that little bitch boy, from direction of his mother

how is she gonna rip the paper up like that?
smfh

i know right, Ned couldn't see the forest for the trees. Little finger told him 2 episodes ago his biggest mistake was trusting HIM(littlefinger)...He should have killed that bitch queen when he found out they tried to kill his son..
 
having honor will get u killed. in a street fight there's no honor, in war there is no honor...in life often times the scumbags win... honor is a folly...a tail for the fool-hearted. poor ned.

Is your pussy wet like your mother's?

he should have killed her before the king even died, him and the little boy. killed everyone but pops, he seems to be the only one honorable
they must have learned that shit from their mother cause they're nothing like their dad...none of them

and lord stark needs to learn how to watch out for traps and surprises, everyone gets the drop on him :lol:

and the kid isn't even the rightful heir to the throne, just go on ahead and put that shit out there that the boy was not roberts

i mean look at him? those lannister genes aren't THAT strong...

and smfh at the little boy, every since he was talking slick to the gimp i knew he was a bitch, he needed exactly what the gimp gave him, slap after slap after slap until you get the message and do what you're told.





its true, shes all in his ear, he probably loves her and if he grows up is gonna try and marry her and end up fighting his uncle for his mother's heart. pussy ass motherfucker. "kill them i command it!" and the guards looked at him like...you little shit :smh:

ned should have just left to go to the north and defend his shit let them come to him and then kill them when they do

im totally rooting for them to cross the river and kill them spoiled little bastards ALL OF Em. and i think that they do truly love each other now...you could see it in his eyes when he was saying the shit around the fire...he meant that shit :lol: if you didn't think he meant anything he's ever said before...you knew he meant that shit :lol:

Robert or someoneshould of known the kids wasnt his,it was way too obvious the way the Baratheon's always had black hair in their family then all of a sudden his kids got blonde hair....:smh::smh::smh::smh::smh:
 
The dragon prince was a weeeee bit to comfortable with himself and got out of pocket way too many times. If you continue to fuck with people and step on them they will do what his sister did and just watch them squirm when the shit finally hits the fan.



so long dragon prince :smh::lol:

The fag-on prince was waaaaay too comfy w/ himself...how you gonna be on a nigga turf amongst his ppl and hold a sword to his woman belly talking bout you gonna cut out his expected 1st born son and think he gonna be cool and give you what you want... :lol: I didn't know gold cooled that fast...that nigga fell down like cluuuuunk! :lol:

Yes the death of the character in ep 6 was expected but not so soon I love when shows don't give characters the sense of invincibility...and are willing to take them out to keep the natural flow of a story

What I meant was more people should of known unless they just kept it quiet about it....I think Petyr and Varsy's knew but I dont think the other members of the coucil knew.

One more person is gonna die within the next 2 episodes that event is gonna officially start the war.

Im sure they knew but kept it to themselves because they are politicians and very strategic so they knew it would not only suicide but career suicide to go against the Lannisters.

It would be nice if the author explained how the Lannister's became the most powerful house in the series....

Since the season is about to wrap up in a few weeks.....Who had the better first season.....This or The Walking Dead.

Nah, Joff is the type to do what he wants. Remember that scene when his mother was trying to school him on how to handle the North? Remember how hardheaded he was? Now that he has power that shit will be multiplied 100%. He doesn't give a shit about anyone's opinion but his own.

my take from that is that out of all the kingdoms someone has to be the richest, and being the richest means you are the most powerful so you cant be the most powerful by being a push over, you've seen how they only look out for each other and will kill cut anyone who gets in their way throat.

naw Joff is a spoiled kid but you best believe his mother and uncles will whoop that ass if he gets out of line
 
GoT's budget is colossal: $60 million for Season 1. That makes it $6 million per episode (compared to $5 million per episode for LOST, $4m per ep for HEROES or $2m per ep for BATTLESTAR GALACTICA). When you consider they got the use of the Paint Hall Studio for free, they inherited some sets from the movie YOUR HIGHNESS (the Arryn throne room is the main castle set from that movie), a budget-boost from Northern Ireland's film commission, and generous tax breaks, their actual money-on-screen ratio is extremely high.

In fact, I think it is fair to say that perhaps we should be seeing more spectacular things on-screen than we are. However, whilst some of their overheads are dirt cheap, others are extreme. Sean Bean is apparently VERY expensive (I'm not sure how expensive, but if you said half a million per episode minimum I would not be surprised, and it could be considerably more) and the cast is massive. This is the biggest speaking cast for any debut season of a HBO project ever, more than BOARDWALK EMPIRE, and I think overall only the huge cast of THE WIRE towards its end had GoT beat. All those actors cost money. Then there's the new sets they've built, and the considerable cost of shuttling the production from Northern Ireland to Malta and back. So it adds up.

One thing that should be better next year, and I expect will effect the direwolves directly is that the CGI team is being upped from 6 for Season 1 (not including the credits, which were done by an outside contractor) to over 30 for Season 2. And I believe the plan is go fully CGI for the direwolves in Season 2. Using the real animals just hasn't worked out for them the way they hoped.

Joffrey is an asshole in the second book,but a certain person kinda deserves it because they should of listen before the war started...

I like how they are starting to mention the White Walkers in this week's episode...I have a feeling they will play some type of part in the later books/episodes

They gonna need to use CG for the Direwolves because in the books they are big as hell....Since the TV series is cheap Im hoping they stray away from the books alittle and do some back story on the characters

The author has explained it.

The Lannister's are the richest(They can buy armies, weapons, people, etc), they're the richest because Casterly Rock literally sits on top of a gold mine allowing them to control the flow of gold throughout westeros.

naw Joff is a spoiled kid but you best believe his mother and uncles will whoop that ass if he gets out of line

Tyrion, Jamie, and Tywin? I agree they can keep Joff inline if need be.

But lets see, Tyrion is still at the Vale, Jamie and Tywin are hundreds of miles preparing for possible war with the North over Tyrion being taken by the Starks. You really think Joff will respect the opinion of a woman now that he's King? Especially in their culture?

ofcourse he will listen to his mother, he is a mama's boy and its obvious that the queen is calling the shots and he is just repeating what he was told.
 
Damn man I had to pause @ Drogo speech man he is seriously finnin to ride on them niggas something awful...I like reading but yo I need the visuals too...son is going off :itsawrap:
 
Ned too good for his own damn good... :smh: Show have me crazy right now man...too much politickin...show is aptly titled...I need to see the queen die tho...can't stand that bitch

Walking Dead?

Brother art thou serious?

The Walking Pile of Shit of a television show don't compare to this man...this show is crazy...it's too early to say but @ this rate this is shaping up to be one of the best shows I've seen as far as tv dramas go...the characters are really endearing...they need to hurry up and kill Ned Starks...dude is noble and all but he is clearly outmatched in this game...he shoulda listened to his wife and stayed home...now he caught up knee deep in a game he ain't built for...how could he not see that sheisty dude coming...doubt the queen will let him live

I didnt know the Lannister's was on top of a gold mine....thanks for explaining it too me.

Probably one of the best part in the series so far.

Ned too good for his own damn good... :smh: Show have me crazy right now man...too much politickin...show is aptly titled...I need to see the queen die tho...can't stand that bitch

c/s

I think that's why alot of people like Ned because he's one of the few people that has honor....

Ya I barely started the book...I'm on the 3rd entry...the little girl I think...but when reading the part where they found the direwolf slain I remember them being described as big

The speech was crazy...I def pushing for them to bring it...I don't think the Starks can last long...Ned played this very wrong...fucked up shit is the pimp gave him the best advice...Ned is a respectable character but not my fav nor likeable to me...I like Jon Snow character he has that noble side but I think that label of bastard and his experience at the wall will give him that dark edge his father doesn't have...his character and Kalese however you spell it are my favs...she came into her own right rather fast...I don't like any of the Starks...my dislike for them is more real than my dislike for the Lanisters...they're evil assholes so it's easy to hate them...but Starks his wife the heir son and their elder daughter rub me the wrong way

if there is an increase in CGI budget for next season, i don't think it will be because of the direwolves, more likely some new characters :cool:

that's what he wanted then she broke it down and he fell back.
he didn't want to listen to the gimp...but he smacked him up and he fell back
he won't be uncontrollable until he's grown...if he grows up

still love the evolution Daenerys she went from girl hanging on her brother's every word
to getting married and being hurt by it
to taking initiative and learning the language and how to fuck
to earning the love of her dude and loving him back and taking her role as queen serious
she's still kind but she's firm when she needs to be...
when she ate that heart...that was what put her over the top
that put her on another level, you eat a heart..you're not fucking around now

and since her dragon experiment she knows for sure she is the one now.. and i look forward to her future episodes

as for little finger
regardless of what he does, she still aint gone love him he's just a bitch ass...

love this show
