Seriously, Hound is the best fricking character from ASOIAF.
(Yes I used ASOIAF not GOT because I only read the books and know very little about the show)
I heard, but apparently it's also straying from the books and going in its own direction. I don't know whether that's good or bad but I won't watch it right now because it would mess up the timelines I remember from the books. Maybe I'll watch it when all the books are out and I've had time to read them. But that's going to take some time, seeing as GRRM is heavily procrastinating.
Yeah books and their show adaptations usually do change some things. Watching it after you’re done with the books is smart and probably be very nostalgic to the parts it does get right. But I don’t think there’d be any reason to get confused.
Yes exactly, I'm glad you get me. People keep pressuring me to watch the show to "get ahead" of the books, not realizing that they have different plots now.
Nah I do think you should watch it but afterwards. If you watch it now you’ll probably think about all the bits that are different and end up not liking it.
Yeah. On the one hand, I just want GRRM to finish the sixth book already. On the other hand, I don't want him to feel pressured by fans. I'd be sad if he ended up like Paolini.
The dude who wrote Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr and Inheritance, a fantasy series of books. The first two books were awesome, especially considering the fact that he started writing when he was 15, but then fans pressured him to write faster and the last two books weren't all that great. In fact I think that the ending is completely atrocious, but I won't spoil it for you unless you want me to.
There's also a movie based on the first book, but it sucked so hard they didn't bother making a sequel.
Oh poor guy just wanted to make his fans happy. Yeah I think George R R Martin is purposely being slow so he knows he’s happy with it. I’d really love to see his scrapped ideas where he wrote a story line and then wasn’t happy with it anymore so took it out.
