Game of Thrones

So, for those of you that have read the books, how close has the T.V series matched them?

Pretty close. Often the words line up perfectly.

The TV series does shuffle things around a bit...mostly to throw out minor characters. i.e. Have one of the existing characters say the line rather than a minor character. Really battling to think of a specific example now though.

The youngest brother Rickon was removed from the series though - or at least I don't recall seeing him. Opening scene is also quite different in book vs TV, but the effect is the same.

It sound like in the coming season they shuffled it a bit more though. Apparently Tyrions storyline was moved forward.

Yeah, like he said the series is a rather faithful adaptation. Certain minor characters were indeed phased out and absorbed into more relevant ones; and certain story arcs were reworked for the screen. The only major change would be the pacing; which is obviously faster in the show in comparison to the books.

That bastard needs to be drawn and quartered by ponies so it lasts longer lol

They most appropriate punishment would be having to play Dota on russian servers forever....with a slow connection

I really dig the younger Stark daughter's character reminds me of Elie from the Last of Us hope nothing happens to her.

I Remember Rickon was there for a short while.

I found that the pacing of the show was quite slow. I can't imagine how impatient I would get with the books.

I've got a question. I'm enjoying the tv series a lot and at times I wonder if I should read the books but I'm worried that it will spoil the tv series for me.

Those who have read the books. Don't you find it annoying that you know what's going to happen?

I haven't read the books but surely the amount of suspense would be greatly diminished by knowing whats going on. I would read the books after the series is done.

Yeah I personally wouldn't read the books, it would spoil it for me

Yes but the rest were cool too, they have provided us with high quility episodes so, I am glad that they are making a new season, maybe they should take out the sexual stuff though.

Why did you just reply to your own post?
