Drazhor Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I suppose they're trying to fit in everything they can, as Kim said, for more and more points of view. Was talking about it with my friend; and we've realised that we haven't a clue of the names of most of the people or what they're doing :unsure: Visit my blog! Click the madness for more madness!

stevepole Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I think POV works, but they're relying to heavily on cliff hangers to drive this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonez899 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Umm, I read the book knew it all weeks ago... I could give you a season 4 spoiler, but I won't. Why not in a second it's about Jon Snow It will happen in season 3 He becomes LC of TNW http://forum.tip.it/topic/325514-bonez899s-journey-to-an-eventual-max/ My blog of progress on Runescape.

Here I was thinking the red lady was full of shit. Turns out her fire shadow god thingy is real o.O You'll get an explanation of sorts in the next episode (If not, the one after that). [spoiler=Book spoiler]Doesn't that happen after Renly's death, though? Either way, there was little to no explanation of it in the TV series. In the book Stannis wanted Storm's End back from the remnants of Renly's supporters with as little bloodshed as possible, here it just seems like Stannis says "Alright, take her to the middle of the ocean, she'll know what to do" :-k It seems like they're assuming that most of their viewers have finished A Clash of Kings by this point, so they aren't bothering to explain any of it. Still, good special effects :thumbup: I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faux Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 [hide]remember how Stannis had sex with the red lady last week's ep? Yep, got her pregnant [/hide] :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonez899 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 In the books they left it to the imagination... Honestly though I think that the TV series is just an excuse to show us ASOIAF in pornz. http://forum.tip.it/topic/325514-bonez899s-journey-to-an-eventual-max/ My blog of progress on Runescape.

Kimberly Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 In the books they left it to the imagination... Honestly though I think that the TV series is just an excuse to show us ASOIAF in pornz. They really didn't leave it to the imagination in the book. Throughout the red priestess' and Davos' point-of-views, it's pretty much spelled out that she performed a ritual with Stannis that involved having sex to draw on his "lifeforce" to make these shadowbabby demon things. These little subtleties that readers pick up on would otherwise be lost in translation if they did it the same way on tv. Remember, they're catering to the masses here. So long as it isn't wrecking the narrative context and crucial plotpoints of the storyline, I'm okay with these little thrown-bones to the TV audience.

Still, good special effects :thumbup: [hide]Unless I'm mistaken(been a while since I've read the books), Melisandre summons such a shadow twice. Once to kill Renly, once to end the siege of storm's end. Only...this should be the one that kills renly...yet the scene is the one for conquering storm's end? Wonder why they did this, especially cause anyone who hasn't read the books probably has no clue why she had to go to that cave to birth that demon...[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Stary- Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Ok.... Wow... Um... just wow. That was such a cliffhanger if I ever saw one. Guess I'll be torrenting a new episode every week. *curse you shitty HBO here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonez899 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I really should torrent this season, but I want it to get a little farther first. http://forum.tip.it/topic/325514-bonez899s-journey-to-an-eventual-max/ My blog of progress on Runescape.

indy500fan Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Be careful what torrents you get. Try to stick to a private site on those. I'm the contact the DMCA sends their notices to for my ISP, and I'd say a good 10-20% of them are for various Game of Thrones torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 All I know is, if they cut out the scene of Renly eating a peach at his meeting with Stannis, or the hawk discussion with Davos, I will be one angry fan-nerd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimberly Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Still plenty of time for them to fit those conversations into the story. They certainly didn't miss their opportunities. They're simple to do that the audience will largely understand, add to character depth, and are short and easily adapted to the screen. There are other subtle parts in the book that I can understand them omitting, like Tyrion's first encounter with Jon Snow and Snow's impressions of him as he leaves, but those things are no-brainers.
