Peri has lion in her name. The Lannister's sigil is a lion. Peri's hair is blonde. Well, blonde-brownish


PERI IS A LANNISTER

Ah, but I have no money. How can I be a Lannister?

Dis is true!

OR MAYBE SHE'S A FEMALE BASTARD OF A LANNISTER.

if we start talking about game of thrones in here i'm bailing right the fuck out because i'm only halfway through season two and i've already had one character death spoiled for me.

and i ain't having that shit.

I should really get into it. My family have all the books on their Kindle account though... I want them paperback, but it feels a waste (and is, I'm a gimp).

Snape kills Drogo

There is only one way to die in game of thrones, it just gets expressed in lots of different fashions. In reality, every explicitly shown death is death by betrayal, and any implied death is no death at all. It's repeatedly been shown that if a death doesn't happen "on-screen" (using that metaphorically, because I read the books instead of watching the series), that it's quite likely that they're actually still alive. Apparently this includes people who "died" before the series even started.

That said, Sauk is right. Snape kills Drogo.

game of bones

the tv show is really fucking good

all the books except the first one are trash unless you like
-hundreds of pages where absolutely nothing important happens
-reading long boring descriptions of the countryside for dozens of pages on end
-long and kind of creepy masturbatory sex scenes
-constant anti-climaxes and dead ends and really absurd plot structure

just fyi

im in

What exactly were you reading? That doesn't describe anything I remember from 1-4, and I'm working through 5 right now.

I only remember the second to last part. XD I thought his descriptions were short and lame.

Also, the TV show is great. :)

Medieval porn... that is all.

Oh yeah, and apparently some people die... and there's a throne?

Sneak peek of Season 4:

I only watched a couple episodes of the TV show, but I thought the sex in the show came off as a lot smuttier than in the books.

I agree with Peri. The sex in the book was easier to deal with for me. :P

I intentionally watch episodes online so I can re-watch the sex scenes

Pretty much all of the consensual sex in the books is turned rapey

... This is why I love you.

One of the greatest films ever made, EVERYONE should watch it atleast three times before they die.

Game of Thrones started airing back in 2011? I swear people only started talking about it a few years ago. Maybe that's just the point where it reached the popularity threshold for someone living under a rock, like me, to hear about it.
I still haven't seen a single episode.

I remember breaking bad taking a while for people to actually start talking about it.

I think these shows snowball in popularity, so it takes a while to ramp up before it gets going.

I've started watching GoT. Will finish series 1 by tonight.

One of these days I will eventually give in. I really liked the first few books. A Feast for Crows was a slog though, and although I heard that A Dance with Dragons was much better, I wasn't able to continue the series. I was making hour-plus commutes to a horrible job, and I had been listening to audiobooks in the car, and eventually I decided that listening to graphic depictions of sex and violence and sexual violence wasn't helping me to face the day.

But I do really want to know how things end. At this rate, I'm not sure George R. R. Martin can finish the series, and HBO may give me the only ending I'll get.

I'm assuming you'll love the series Princess Amy. It seems most everyone else does. Still, you'll have to let us know your thoughts after you've caught up on a few seasons.

How does sex, violence, and sexual violence not help you face the day? I need it to live.

If you can get past the Tarantino violence and the sex scenes which are actual, physical porn at times (I'm OK with that) it's a good series so far. I have one episode left, gonna go out and buy series 2 today.

(Don't watch this with Prudish Parents, I mean.)

There's one point where the dude's making quite a powerful speech, to two lesbians getting each other off and playing with each other's arses etc. But I'm one for ~sexual liberation~ and normalisation and don't see it as a problem.

Im not a big GoT guy personally. I watched the first season and thougt it was spectacular. Then i watched the second and was turned off by it. This sounds really prude but i just think there is too much sex shit going on. And it gets so over the top sometimes i just dont know (like the guy and his sister). The 1st season was very way classier than the second. I mean i dont mind sex in movies and shows but like i dont wanna see peeps fucking like every 15 mins.

They killed the fucking baby.

Are you talking about Yeah, that's kind of important for a couple of reasons. You have to reinforce how truly horrible Cersei is in every episode and ... Have you met Gendry yet?

And if you're talking about something else (Like I said, haven't actually seen the series), well, horrible things happen pretty much all the time in Westeros.

And in America we use "season" where you use "series." But we use "series" to mean "all of the seasons." What do you use to mean that?
