Game of Thrones - Book Readers' Thread - Part 18

Just take over the Star Trek forum.


No one will even notice.

I see no GoT section!

The boss said "genre" sections didn't work at Coming Soon. I've been asking for a Fantasy Section awhile now. Vikings to them isn't popular enough yet to get it's own section, even tho it's going into it's 3rd season.
I even asked why there's a SEPERATE RPG section when there is a GAME section to make a point

It's actually kind of crazy that Lord of the Rings doesn't have a section. That would seem like a given. But if there was a fantasy section, Lord of the Rings would be a good part of it.

Technically, Trek and Wars are BOTH types of Fantasy and would be in the Fantasy section as well

Star Wars, sure, but I can't allow Star Trek being described as fantasy. It's science fiction, yo. Even if it does have omnipotent beings, Greek gods, and ghosts.

I don't know where my argument is going with this.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

And Star Wars isn't??

 

[Perfect Cell]

Star Wars doesn't really use any scientific concepts, and then extrapolate them to imagined ends. They just say things like "hyperspace", and that's the end of it. The rest is just wizards in robes. At least, that's how I personally define science fiction.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

IT USES SPACE TRAVEL. IT USES LASERS. It even uses PARSECS

 

[Perfect Cell]

It uses parsecs incorrectly.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

IT STILL USES THEM

 

[Perfect Cell]

".....Touche!"

 

[Sawyer]

It's funny, I was looking through an old issue of Wizard Magazine that I have from back in 2006, and there was an article about comic adaptations on TV. They talk about a pilot that was made, adapting the comic "Ultra". Lena Headey was the lead and Peter Dinklage was in a supporting role.

The used book store that I go to puts the sci-fi, fantasy, and post apocalyptic fiction in the fantasy section.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

I keep forgetting this has it's own subforum now

 

[Ezio Auditore]

 

[Spidey-Bat]

The White Walkers built the Wall to protect themselves from Stannis Baratheon.

[Iceman]

That's really good

I see things like this and remain baffled as to how some TV fans just don't care for the Jon/Night's Watch storyline. These guys are legitimately the only folks confronting the realm's real threats.

 

[Victarion]

And the plot into'd on page one of book one, as well as the first page of chapter one.

Laaaaaaaaawd.

Stannis says hi.

 

[iamlegend]

Stannis says hi.

Pretty sure that, last time I checked, Stannis was stuck in the snow somewhere, on his way south, preparing to battle Boltons. And his Red Woman had found a new favorite boy.
