The Game of Thrones

Re: The Game of Thrones

^^ Oh yeah I had forgotten. Could very well see the Red Wedding as a cliffhanger of season 2.

Re: The Game of Thrones

I hope the TV show adds a few things that are left up for speculation in the books. For example, we're not sure if Margaery knows about Loras/Renly but in the TV show there's a scene where she catches them and tells them to save the act for court. I also think they're going to show Joffrey being defiant to Cersei, he's going to come off as a bit of a loose cannon.

Re: The Game of Thrones

I've read all the books but only watched a couple episodes of season 1! Can't wait to catch up on that and the upcoming season 2. Really hoping book 6 comes out soon!

Re: The Game of Thrones

Last I heard, author is really ill and has not been able to finish the books. Any news on that?

REALLY looking forward to season 2!!!

Re: The Game of Thrones

that gayish scene is not mentioned in the book as far as i remember...apparently it was to make the gay viewers happy.

Re: The Game of Thrones

Dang!

Re: The Game of Thrones

A specific scene isn't mentioned, but the relationship is definitely implied.

Re: The Game of Thrones

I guess brotherly relationship?

Re: The Game of Thrones

Maybe it was to make gay viewers happy, but more likely it’s because the books make several references to Renly being disinterested in women, or about character being aware of Renly and Loras. It is never fleshed out, but is heavily implied. The TV show, being a different medium, does not have such luxuries so it explicitly shows some things.

I like how they have subtle differences from the books. The Renly/Loras relationship being one, and Margaery’s political awareness being another. In the books her innocence is left somewhat vague.

Not like any brotherly relationship I’ve ever seen :hehe:

Re: The Game of Thrones

Have you ever seen dragons and white walkers? :rolleyes:

Re: The Game of Thrones

Btw for those who’ve finished reading ADWD, GRRM has posted a chapter from winds of winter as a gift to his readers. Here it is if you haven’t seen it

GRRM - Wild Cards Sample

Plenty of spoilers obviously, so don’t read if you want to keep the suspense.

Re: The Game of Thrones

^I'm on A Feast for Crows but I'm gonna read what you've posted.

Re: The Game of Thrones

Dang!!!
I don’t want to read it
but I want to read it
but I don’t … :bummer:

Re: The Game of Thrones

Exactly and I can quote couple of instances from the book where it was mentioned but mods are going to ban me for obscenity :D

Re: The Game of Thrones

11 days to go

Re: The Game of Thrones

go ahead gurl, it’s impossible to resist! :wink:

Re: The Game of Thrones

Only if the Cersei-Jaime relationship defines sibling relationships.

Re: The Game of Thrones

Found this. Are Loras and Renly Gay?

The Rainbow cloaks got me thinking too but that scene in the tv series was just pants.

Re: The Game of Thrones

^ I think it's all pretty obvious stuff. There's no subtlety really. I think we're supposed to assume they're gay. Of course, it could be a red herring of some sorts, that GRRM will use against us later on.

Re: The Game of Thrones

Yes, watched it. Awesome series.
