NO BOOK TALK

I'm currently re watching last season in anticipation.

 

[deaconson]

if we are going to use this thread you might want to add a "book talk" or "no book talk" designation to the title.

very minor spoilers in this review/overview of the first four episodes

Here is quick refresher on where last season ended:

NO BOOK TALK

Ironic post, considering that in the Books, Tyrion has not actually come across any dragons yet and the picture shows otherwise.

And yet you're doing book talk

 

[DeacOnCapeCod]

Touche.

 

[Deac6]

To whatever mod changed the title, that spelling is impeccable

 

[DeacOnCapeCod]

It should read no No Book Spoil, Sers.

GoT book readers love to let others know that they've read the books. Observation.

Very true. But from everything that I've read it sounds like this season is going to be verging from the books even more than the series has. Thank good Martin keeps delaying the book. People say that the next book will be between this year and 2018 for a release date. So the writers of the show have more freedom than ever and the people blabbing about the books won't have much spoiler power.

I didn't read the books, but I understand the show started out with the same basic storyline. Eventually, the show will have to pass the books completely, and that should be pretty interesting. I've never heard of a situation like that, and I wonder if RR Martin will fight them moving forward.

 

[BarcaDeac]

He's supposedly told the show runners how it ends so if they need to they can come up with a way to get there

Neither did I. But from people who I've talked to who have they say that the premise is basically the same but there are characters who died in the show who didn't in the show and visa versa. Overall same concept.

 

[Deac6]

My experience with many of the characters.

First tits of the season, 17 min in.

I was worried we were getting a new Grey Worm.
