I'm only on season three and i've never read the books. I'm trying not to read spoilers, but I'm so obsessed with the show. I only watch it with my husband, and he works night shifts so we can only watch it a couple nights a week. I don't know if I can hold out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1703628 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 16:54:48 +0000 hellobeeboston 1703628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aegie: just catching up on this!! I wondered about Lady Stoneheart too but figure there was so much jammed into the last episode that could be a good way to start the next season!</p> <p>I get why they deviated from the book for the fight with the hound - better to fit in a sword fight then have him die of a wound. </p> <p>You know what is terrible - I read all the books and TOTALLY forgot about stannis heading north! my husband was like - who is that??? - and I had no idea. Started coming back to me as I watched though. Ha, oops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702701 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 11:24:02 +0000 Adira 1702701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aegie: Although I can't say that I'm surprised that they change stuff like that. The show has to leave out all those minor characters (like hello, Stannis doesn't leech Gendry and then want to kill him - he does it to his nephew Eric)! I'm glad they are going to leave some things out (like I HOPE I don't have to watch all the stuff with the kingsmoot crap), but other stuff, it's definitely disappointing when it's not there or changed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702694 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 11:19:33 +0000 aegie 1702694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Yes! exactly, BIG BIG difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702688 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 11:18:12 +0000 aegie 1702688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@theotherstark: yeah .. i wanted to see lady stoneheart show up right before brienne sees arya. And she was supposed to fight someone who claimed to be the hound, not the actual hound! I was WTF HBO the whole time they were fighting! LOL He's supposed to "die" of his wounds from his fight with Polliver not Brienne. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702648 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 11:05:21 +0000 Adira 1702648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aegie: @theotherstark: I haven't finished this season, so haven't seen this part yet, but I will definitely be disappointed in Lady Stoneheart isn't in the show!! :( Also... the whole Brienne fighting the Hound... that didn't happen in the books at all! Doesn't the Hound get wounded in a fight in a bar and Arya leaves him to die?? And then Biter steals his helm and HE'S the one that fights Brienne?</p> <p>@mrbee: Ugh, I definitely think it sucks people are just devoting their time to attacking him! That's unfair! I just think he's slow, haha, but I've also never had to write a sprawling 17 main characters story before! I also think I've gotten spoiled by Brandon Sanderson who keeps a progress bar on his website for all the books he's working on and keeps his readers well informed on exactly where he is and what he has left to do! I &lt;3 his style as an author - he seems to treat it like a real job and dedicates 8-9 hours a day writing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702626 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:58:35 +0000 theotherstark 1702626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: OMG! Haha, some commenters are just insane. I mean, it annoys me that it's taking him so long (and that he writes other things before finishing the series), but it doesn't affect my day-to-day life :silly: People need to take a chill pill!</p> <p>@aegie: I totally thought the season would end with Lady Stoneheart. I wonder if they'll show her next season, or just cut her out completely like they cut out Coldhands?? I'm so sad Coldhands is not in the show :(</p> <p>But, omg. Brienne fighting the Hound! I actually sort of loved it, and I LOVED how the Hound was finally like, yes, I am protecting her. They were my absolute favorite part of this season, and I'm so sad Arya and the Hound are now separated. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702601 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:48:44 +0000 aegie 1702601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: @theotherstark: Can we also talk about Brianna fighting the Hound? Or the fact that Lady Stoneheart never appears? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702590 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:44:11 +0000 mrbee 1702590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: @snowjewelz: @theotherstark: @aegie: </p> <p>There's an article out how angry his fans get at his writing pace!</p> <p><a href="http://m.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/04/11/110411fa_fact_miller?currentPage=all" rel="nofollow">http://m.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/04/11/110411fa_fact_miller?currentPage=all</a></p> <p>Best quote: "One poster wrote, “George R.

They want to be able to end the show as a complete set and not do a movie! So I think that's what will happen! GRRM just wants a big movie budget for some of those finale scenes I think, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702555 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:35:06 +0000 snowjewelz 1702555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I'd be so mad! :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702540 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:29:51 +0000 Adira 1702540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@theotherstark: Yes! I really like Jaime from the books (well, once we started to get to know him) and I think that scene in the movie really was a disservice to his character. Though then again, he pushed a kid off a tower so...</p> <p>@snowjewelz: At this point I'm thinking I'm more likely to get a satisfying ending out of the show than I am from GRRM! He's just not focused at all!! And his last two books were a bunch of blah blah blah that barely moved the plot forward AT ALL. Though GRRM wants the show to basically not end and have a movie for a finale. I hope they don't do that since then the movie might never get made! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702522 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:26:04 +0000 snowjewelz 1702522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: On one hand I want to read the books, but like what you said, what if he never finishes or takes forever, then I rather just stick to TV... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702521 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:25:55 +0000 theotherstark 1702521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: OMG don't even get me started on that rape scene!!! WTF?! It was a huge blow to Jaime's character in the show, and it drove me nuts. ETA: and the fact that the writer's apparently "didn't realize" that they portrayed a rape scene?! Yeah... </p> <p>@aegie: Right?! Yeah, he co-edited a book of short stories and I was like, dude. Finish your novel, THEN focus on your fun pet projects. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702519 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:25:03 +0000 Adira 1702519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aegie: @theotherstark: Do you ladies ever read his blog?? He drives me bonkers before for MONTHS every year, all he ever talks about is football! I'm like "Come on man, FOCUS on your JOB!!!!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702514 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:23:30 +0000 aegie 1702514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@theotherstark: I'm the same way. When he cowrote some GoT mini story for another book and some companion piece to the world of ice &amp; fire ... I was like HELLO! Finish your important book and stop messing with these fillers! LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702509 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:22:20 +0000 Adira 1702509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@theotherstark: I don't think that's horrible thing to say, especially after what happened with Robert Jordan! I feel the same way!</p> <p>And I'm the same way - I get annoyed when the show deviates from the book! Especially that rape scene between Jaime and Cersei! Soooooo not what happened in the books! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702501 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:20:16 +0000 aegie 1702501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: originally his publisher wanted 7 books for the 7 kingdoms. But it's now going to be 8. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702495 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:17:58 +0000 theotherstark 1702495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aegie: @Leialou: Yeah, I think it was originally supposed to be 7, but GRRM said recently that it is looking more like 8 total (he's published 5 at this point, and is working on #6). </p> <p>I'm one of those crazy people that probably shouldn't read the books first, because anytime the show deviates from the book, I'm like "what? That didn't happen in the book. WTF. Why did they do that? This is stupid." Haha. I did the same thing with Harry Potter. </p> <p>Sooooo slow. I just want to read book 6! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702481 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:14:05 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1702481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aegie: 8?? I thought it was 6 or 7. It'll be 20 years before he's done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702441 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:04:52 +0000 aegie 1702441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@theotherstark: Yeah, it kind of pisses me off when I watch the show and I'm like, WOAH WOAH WOAH ... WTF that didn't happen or that's not how it goes! LOL</p> <p>I didn't realize they were going to deviate from the books! They still have 1 more book to go. Or is it two? I can't remember anymore. But apparently he's writing a total of 8 books. omg, I may be a grandmother by the time he's done writing them. Only series I know that I will have read in a span of decades! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702429 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:01:10 +0000 theotherstark 1702429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aegie: It's interesting, too, because apparently someone at HBO effed up and put that white walker king down as "The Night's King" in their initial credits. People who had read the books started freaking out (if you have read the books, it's a very interesting revelation that the Night's King is still alive and creating a white walker army), and they took that down. </p> <p>So, yes, GRRM has shared how the rest of the books will go. It also sounds like they're really going to start deviating from the books, especially now that they're catching up (and will soon pass) where GRRM is with the writing.</p> <p>He is SO SLOW. I just hope he doesn't die before he's done writing the series :shocked: Is that horrible of me to say?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702410 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 09:56:16 +0000 Adira 1702410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aegie: Yes, the producers for GoT already know the ending! GRRM wanted them to know where they were going because they are definitely going to get ahead of him with how SLOW he writes!</p> <p>As far as that white walker scene - it makes sense that wouldn't be in the book since each chapter is told from a character's point of view and none of them have ever witnessed how a white walker is made! But it definitely makes sense that they're turning those baby boys into white walkers!! They're going to have an ARMY!!!</p> <p>I'm thinking at this point, I just want to watch the show and give up on the books. Book 4+ are sooooooo slow and don't advance the plot much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1702396 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 09:50:41 +0000 aegie 1702396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: omg I just saw this. There was the scene where the white walker took the baby boy and placed him on the altar and then a white walker "king" took his finger and it changed him from human to a white walker. that's completely new. Not in any of his books and plays into how they are building their white walker army (as opposed to taking already dead bodies and changing them). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1666230 Thu, 29 May 2014 16:05:11 +0000 hellobeeboston 1666230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aegie: ohhhh?? Which scene? I only noticed the Jon snow/bran one - didn't remember that. But good call that he possibly shared the path of the storylines with the writers of the show! 6 years?! Oh man!!! Just think how long the last one will take? Or maybe he's been writing then both at the same time? I read somewhere that he was editing down 1000 pages for the next book. </p> <p>He has a blog - he sometimes releases chapters - have you seen that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1666204 Thu, 29 May 2014 15:53:22 +0000 aegie 1666204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: considering there was a scene this season that was most certainly NOT in the book, it goes to reason that Martin already knows the ending and has shared it with the HBO writers. I've been reading these books since high school. He took 6 YEARS to write the last one. I mean ... COME ON! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1666137 Thu, 29 May 2014 15:25:22 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1666137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm obsessed with these books!</p> <p> @mediagirl: yep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1666128 Thu, 29 May 2014 15:21:10 +0000 hellobeeboston 1666128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: haha!! I wasn't sure what you meant! :) I think he tends to go on &amp; on sometimes in the books an I will skim (like the chapters about Greyjoys/Reek) the last book left practically every storyline hanging so I can't wait... Supposedly he is almost done, then there will be one more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/game-of-thrones-fans#post-1666093 Thu, 29 May 2014 15:10:56 +0000 MrsBrewer 1666093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>.....................There's a book series?!?!?!?!?!!? Where have I been??? I just love the TV show! </p>
