Game of Thrones - HBO part 2 - Part 1

Why are you guys putting the names of cities in spoilers?

Good lord. Plot points and major acts are one thing, but you really don't need to spoilize every little detail.

It is giving away where they are going.

Dang, another beautiful interpretation of the amazing theme song.

Thanks for posting it.

Didn't know this was a book forum, thought we would be discussing the TV show?

What does everyone think of the casting they are doing so far?

Well one comes from the other so there's quite a bit of cross over. We encourage people to read them.

How some special effects were done (don't watch if you haven't seen every episode)

Two new cast members confirmed today, Xaro Xhoan Daxos and Yara (Asha) Greyjoy.

Xaro looks like a good pick, seems like a gifted young actor. I can't wait to see it because I've got some hate saved up for that weirdo Xaro.

As for Asha, she seems decent. Doesn't look as sturdy or strong as described (always went off the classic Belit type female warrior) but we shall see.

Man Ive been looking for this book in my local libraries but its always out and on hold.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Buy this, it's worth it. Ignore the bad reviews, most are just people whining about the Kindle price.

Maybe it's time to crack that wallet open, let the moths escape and actually spend some money on buying them.

Don't know the policy on violent videos being linked to but there's more VFX showreels here: http://www.westeros.org/GoT/News/Entry/More_VFX_Breakdowns/
This one has a good look at The Others' (whitewalkers) armor at :45.

Amazon is selling the 4-book set (excluding Dance of Dragons) for only $20. That is what you'd spend on a night's out, so just buy it already.

Exactly. I can't stand libraries. I prefer to own books I'm reading.

I posted the link to it. It's a steal since 2 books alone would be about the same price.

I wonder if they'll keep the scene where Theon [blackout]hits on her and feels her up without knowing she's his sister.[/blackout]

 

[Crockett]

Looks like a good choice for Asha/Yara. I like the smirk in that pic. Her comedic timing could be useful to her as she could be serious and fierce as well as mischievous. But it's all in the acting and I don't think it'll be a problem for her. The name change doesn't bother me, it's an unnecessary change but it's minor one, and I'll still refer her to as Asha.

And I do hope her introduction scene is intact in the show.

I cant be making purchases right now. I might be moving within the next few weeks and dont know where my address will be, plus I need to save up all the money I can for that if it does happen

 

[ChickenScratch]

So you budget hinges on the 7.99 for a paperback or 20 for the set. Forget moving, you need a new job.

I kid. But really, its not at all expensive.

That only works if you are not a prolific reader, have money to spend on books, and a place to store the books.

I have a 720 sq ft. library in my house filled from floor to ceiling with books. It is crazy to store all these books. My wife reads super fast and goes through 2-3 500+ page books every two weeks.

But I have to say I really like the look, smell, and feel of books over ebooks.

 

[Buford The Sly]

And we have a Jaqen Hghar

Or you could get yourself a storage space. I have one for books and guitars my two obsessions. Not many people read as much as I do (degrees in Eng Lit and Journalism here) but I don't try to turn it into a problem. Talk to me when you've got a room of guitars valued at $2500 and up, now those things need space.
