Game Of Thrones Television series *may contain spoilers*

Read ahead to what? Pretty much caught up to events. The season ended on the same event the last book did.

The first 4 series went along with the first 4 books, you saying they crammed 3 books worth into 1 season?

It was always going to happen. GRRM has took such a rediculously long time to write the next book that the show was always going to overtake him. I just wish they had used Joe Abercrombie's first law books for a series insted. You see he's actually capable of writing good books within a reasnable amount of time.

The first 2.

Also books 4 and 5 take place in exactly the same timeline, and they've cut out like 3/4 huge arcs, so..yeah. They've caught up. The only thing they haven't done yet which I've heard they are gonna do next year is the Greyjoys storyline.

Yep. Cut out a ridiculous amount of stuff.
Whole story re: the Greyjoys, another bloke who would have a claim to the throne that Tyrion would meet, dead Lady Stark resurrected with Beric Dondarrion e.t.c.

this would be a great tv series! im surprised stuff like this hasnt been looked at after success of GoT, great characters that would translate to tv brilliantly

Is there enough variety from the series then to bother reading crows and the 2 dragons book?

Yeah mate defo.

Feast is a bit boring first time round but very little of it made it into the show. Dance is good, though you saw the best bits of it on the show.

• Pirate, man in his 40’s to late 50’s. He’s “an infamous pirate who has terrorized seas all around the world. Cunning, ruthless, with a touch of madness.”
  He’s a dangerous-looking man. A very good part this season.

Euron's in.

Great stuff. The rest was still important though, rather disappointed it's been cut.

I actually prefer the First Law books to the ASOFAI series but unfortnally i cant see anybody having the bottle to try and compete with GoT in tv just now. Shame really, considering Joe Abercrombie is supposed to be writing a new set of books also set in the First Law World.

Yeah, would have much much preferred ''Young Griff'' than the utter carcrash that was Dorne this season.

i love the tv series but even i have to admit dorne was terrible, that fight scene will live long in the memory...

Euron at this point would be absolutely awful, he would add nothing except to be some form of ship based, more rapey Ramsay Bolton.

Can't rally find the sample chapters all in one place, anyone got any advice/links?

 

[Brennan]

Why do you lot continue to post things from the books that haven't happened in the series yet ? So f'n annoying.
