ASoIAF/Game of Thrones general Discussion Thread

[Ethel mermania]

I'm sorry but the idea of having entire era named after one kinda popular show is just ridiculous.

Not if it’s such a masterpiece and a true testament to the human condition

Like the Sopranos?

What the hell are you talking about? GoT is good but again it is really nothing special.


It is just a semi popular show. The idea that GoT is some super special show or history making is just nonsense.

Obviously, IM is being deliberately absurd, but to say GoT is nothing special is also absurd. ASoIaF is a big, landmark work in its genre, and with the show it's reached an audience that would have laughed at the idea of watching fantasy TV. It's pretty much the first live-action Epic Fantasy TV show to find any sort of success. If you pay attention, there are a hell of a lot of fantasy books getting optioned for TV, and it's almost certainly because networks are rushing to try to find "the next GoT."

And I have to wonder what your definition of semi-popular is and what numbers you're using for that.

This show is making HISTORY

HISTORY I tell you

History In The Making (all capitals)

No it is really not. Sure it might be popular and it's success might lead to more fantasy shows being made but that is really it. The "history" that it is making is pretty insignificant.

All things considered Robert wasnt such a bad king. No major wars, no famine, there was prosperity in land since the rebellion.

Dude, Dude, duuudddeee, Roots was history making, upstairs downstairs was landmark.

This is just a minor piece of storytelling.

Apparently mrs mermania is on #TeamSansa.

[Infected Mushroom]

Might watch this movie sometimes just because "Jaime Lannister" is the main character:

Anyone seen this?

Is it good?

Aww Queen Sansa was my first pick too before the Mad Queen captured my heart

[Andsed]

Apparently mrs mermania is on #TeamSansa.

I am with Mrs Mermania here TBH. I mean who else do we really have Dany? She killed tens of thousands of innocent people. Jon? Well he is kind of a moron. All hail the queen in the north.

She is a redhead, has my vote any day.

[Yohannes]

She killed tens of thousands of innocent people.

She simply did that which was right in her own eyes. The Crown is up for grabs; at all costs she must seize the throne now

I mean who else do we really have Dany?

Okay, first of all it's not "Dany." It's Queen Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lady of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, Lady of Dragonstone, Queen of Meereen, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons.

You betray your own point with your hashtag

I feel like I'll need to add more smiley next time since a certain individual seems to take things way too seriously!

#teamdany

Well I mean if killing tens of thousands of innocents after they gave up than is what Dany considers right than I think that just makes her look worse.

[Bralia]

As a person not watching the show at all, I'm oddly hyped to simply read peoples' reactions to tonight's episode. I hope this thread becomes consumed with dragonfire and rage, it'll make for a great time.

[Platypus Bureaucracy]

I'm still on #teamlyanna, and I will not budge.

D & D have already said that they are going to spend today and tomorrow at some remote vacation resort with a couple of beers and their mobiles switched off.

I haven't read any of the leaks, but I expect the fan RAEG to be epic.

[Ifreann]

I love dis.

That's amazing.
