Mr. Sinister Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Funny, i caught a few ep's of season 1 myself over the weekend. I agree though, GoT's pilot is about as flawless as a modern day pilot can get. Damn title itself became a pop culture phenomenon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there was some "massive problem" with the original. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else reading the new Martin book on the Targaeryans? God it's good. Can't put it down. I'm like 350 pages in and just now getting to 100 AC ... Martin and his editors have a way of telling a story Does it have a end ? Or is it half finished like ASoIaF ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 3 hours ago, Momma There Goes That Man said: It's called Fire and Blood. It's a book chronicling the history of the Targaryens from Aegon and his conquest through the Mad King I believe. I'm hoping this was something GRRM had to get out in order to kick his writers block or get in a rhythm or align the pieces in his head, whatver it takes so he can finish the books. I would like to read the complete series some day. Thanks, Momma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMadisonSkins Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) From what I can tell, ironically the book is just up 170 AC which is just over halfway. At least that’s my assumption based on the table of contents. So presumably there’s a second half to it. Ill say this though ... after reading 400 pages of this book it’s clear to me that Martin (rightfully so) is obsessed with continuing to build the history and the groundwork of this world that the ASOIAF series is merely a snapshot. This is represented by the level of immense detail and the ripple effects of various events and people over the 290 or so years of detail GRRM is putting out. I think Martin has resigned to letting HBO kick ass and finish the story for him while he continues to build the Lore behind it. I mean in reading Fire and Blood I think you could do a 3-4 season show for each major series of events. Personally I was super into reading about Jahaerys I and his 55+ hear reign from 46-102 or whatever. Obviously you can’t do a show that easily especially covering such a long period of time and it would be easiest to focus on maybe 5 year stints but this world he’s built is so detailed and intricate and fun that I can understand why he’s not interested in finishing the current story. The 10 year span between Aegon the Conquerer dying and stint of the weak successor his son Aenys and then his half bro Meagor before the rise of Aenys 3rd son jaeharys and all the events in between would be possibly more intriguing than the events of ASOIAF and could probably last just as long in terms of seasons Edited December 5, 2018 by JamesMadisonSkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lay so much groundwork for the characters and world. It's impressive. Can't wait for another binge. You should listen to the Binge Mode podcast after each episode for full experience. Combined with thecshow, it’s about 120 hours of content... piece of cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 So I was watching a show with my daughter, who’s 5. It’s calles “Mia and Me.” The story is of a girl who magically transforms into a cartoon elf in a magical land with unicorns and other such things. The girl who plays real life Mia was familiar, but I couldn’t place her. Its a very wholesome show. But I just couldn’t place the main actress. Until. Googled it to make sure. Yup. Puts Mia and Me in an entirely different light. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bald Move has also done recaps of every episode and they go into book stuff a little bit like Jason does. Those two guys are pretty funny, you should check them out too. 21 hours ago, Voice_of_Reason said: Its a very wholesome show.

I was being somewhat ... ironic? chuckle. I don't know if you are a Harry Potter fan, but they're doing a Harry Potter thing (I'm sure you know this), and if you like Potter, it's a great listen.

Yeah, it was awful. As an interesting Mia and Me plot point, in season 2 she heavily flirts with the farm boy, and they also have some fairly awkward dialog. The actress doesn't seem to have the same accent in Mia and Me, and is, for what it's worth (minus some forced flirting), not bad in it. It's mostly a voice acting thing, but she appears "in real life" at the beginning and end of each show. The actress was 15 or 16 at the time Mia and Me was shot (I think), and 19 when she was in Game of Thrones (both of these facts I learned when I confirmed the 2 were one in the same). It's just weird watching her in a wholesome kids show, knowing you've seen her in a nude scene. And I guess what makes it more weird to me is I saw the adult show first, then the kids show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachie Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) I just spent a whole lot of vacation time watching the entire series all over again. Best show ever. I decided to watch this time with captions on and it really improved my comprehension of everything. There's so much going on in every episode and throughout the story arcs that I caught a lot I was missing or forgetting before.

Except in season 5 where nothing or the same thing happens for 4 episodes. Im going to start my rewatch as soon as I’m done with Ozark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movies are MAYBE 1/8 of what’s in the books. i agree, better to read the books before listening to the pods. They are pretty quick reads.

My family used to listen to the audio books together. They were so good. There is a lot of great stuff that didn’t make it into the movies, like the ministry of magic craziness in book 5 near the end and a bunch of stuff in book 4.

It was a lot of fun I just never followed up on the rest Haven't read ASOIAF yet. I would love to but i really don't want to start if they are never finished. So i'm playing the waiting game.

mcsluggo Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I wouldn;t worry so much about whether or not he finishes the series. the first three GOT books are great... and then.. not as much. i would bet 10 to 1 that he hasn;t finished the last books, because he doesn't know how to. chances are really good that if he ever DOES finish them... it will be a giant disappointment. read the first 3, and enjoy them as a trilogy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, waited a decade for the 5th book only to hear Martin say it wasnt finished. Then the show came out. 5th book was absolutely unfinished. He wasnt joking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Litterally 5 seconds of new footage and the fandom has lost its collective mind. An alternative line from Sansa should have been “I’ve been talking to Bran. Your Grace. I think you both should see him. I would suggest taking wine with you, probably best to go straight away before this becomes more awkward. You’re in for a surprise...” Turns around and gives the same little smile as when she fed Ramsey to his dogs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that’s even a GOT scene tho, it’s from something else. Seemed out of place. A good fan trailer tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
