Well, you are making an assumption that the next book will be well constructed. The last two were... disappointing... to most people.


Those people were wrong.

I'm personally not so keen on the whole plot thread involving the dragons, but other than that, I put this series on par with Tolkien's best. I have enjoyed each book, though some perhaps a little bit more than others.

Shocking, but obvious.

HBO might finish series without waiting for the books

From the article: "Last night’s premiere raked in over 6.6 million viewers, the most for the network since the finale of The Sopranos in 2007"

If you count DVR, ONDemmand, and HBO Go watching, all things that were not as prevalent 7 years ago, that would presumably make it the most watched episode in the history of HBO.

Probably deservedly, imo.

I really enjoyed the books, but not quite as much as Lord Of The Rings (there is a lifetime of bias built into that statement).

I do believe, however, that Martin has done a masterful job of creating an incredibly diverse, interesting world.

I never thought I would read a story with more characters than those found in Tolkein's Middle Earth.

I find comparing books and movies to be meaningless. However almost all of my top movies were written directly for for the screen.

From the LA Times: Games of Thrones renewed for two more seasons.
quote:
The two new seasons will be the fifth and sixth and will tackle events in the fourth and fifth books in author George R.R. Martin's series "A Song of Ice and Fire."

"A Feast for Crows" and "A Dance With Dragons" are notable in the series for following different sets of characters in the same time frame. While the show's producers, Benioff and Weiss, have not said how they will handle the events of those books on screen, it's likely the character stories will be reconfigured to keep all the characters (at least those still alive) in every season.


As predicted in this thread.

This new actor looks and speaks like a knight from Westeros, not a Tyroshi sellsword and leader of the Stormcrows.


Agreed although neither of them have the right hair. In the show, they are the Second Sons not the Stormcrows I think

Yes, I can't see Dannery having the hots for him either. Oh well, a slight fall in perfection.
