[pyromaniax]

i read the season not starting back until next year april... i cant wait so long .... WTB the books

[mojosodope]

I'm not sure if the books go along with the seasons as in book 1 to season 1 and so on but I have never even heard of these books before and watching the first season makes me want to actually read the damn things because thats a long ass time to wait. It's an on going book series too the writer is due to release another installment next week I think and theres one or two after that one. If ratings keep up which it probably will, this could be another Entourage or Sopranos HBO has going on here

yes the series follow the books. Season 1 was the entire 1st book and ended the same way the book did.

of course a lot of information was left out and not all the scenes were exactly what happened in the book.

1 example is when Tyrion got knocked the fcuk out at the start of the battle and missed the whole damn thing.
i dunno if they were trying to save money or time in that scene but that's not what happened in the book.

Martin has asked for 2 seasons to be dedicated to the 2nd book so i dunno if that will happen.

but if u like the series, do urself a favour and read the books...

the scene with Catelyn talkin to Jamie when he was tied up to the post and she hit him with a rock didnt happen in book 1 either... that was in book 2

[mojosodope]

they put some of the stuff in book 2 in season one due to the way the show was produced, everything was done on purpose and some of the major characters that were left out in season one are going to be in season 2,

its a awesome series and an even better set of books

[eurogirl]

this isn't like other books where the good guy is 1 person ...

I'm guessing its an evolving series ..which kinda mirror's life and the choices ppl make ..


*sigh* i need to start from book 1 .. and continue ..

this show has me so interested now in the books .. and i'm never like this .. i usually read the book then watch the show ..

Not the second book. The third. The second book will be one season, most likely ten episodes like the first. He just finished writing the Battle of Blackwater episode, which he had to cut down a bit of course...unfortunately. If handled properly, most of the books can be done in a season. Book 3 might take a longer season, 15 episodes or so. There's a lot that can be cut without really hurting the main story.

The series follows the books very closely. The main difference is that some character development that takes place in later books, starts taking place from early in the show. Best example is Jaime: In the books he's barely actually seen for the first two books. He's mostly spoken about, and in totally negative terms. It's only in Book 3 that you start to see the inner conflict he has with regards to his status as the man who killed the last king.

And that's how it is with most characters in the novels: You feel you know them, but they surprise you.

As someone said higher up, there really aren't any main good guys or bad guys. It's just complex characters with realistic motivations in a trying situation. You will find yourself backing Starks, Lannisters, Tyrells, Baratheons...alyuh have a lot to see still.
