    So I'm curious how many of you read the second book already? Or any of the books. IIRC there's lots of boobs in the books, and they don't usually go into too much detail about the battles themselves, except for key points.

    And by the 7, Joffrey's a #$%^. That is all for this week.
    ive pretty much given up hope on seeing any cool big battles in this show.

    Not sure if you're referring to me, but I've read all the books several times now.

    As for the boobs, there was definately alot of T&A in the books, but they've definately "HBO'ed" up some of these episodes.

    The Ros & Littlefinger - finger bang scene might be the worst offender for "made up". But while watching, I keep thinking to myself how big this world is and they only have ~10 episodes a season. I would way rather see more of the story and characters or a super short but well done action scene than a random sex scene.

    Funny you should say this after bringing up the 2nd book, which has about 30 pages of description regarding the battle of Blackwater Bay. A rather large exception to your hypothesis I would wager.

    The books certainly give more detail than the HBO series does regarding the battles, and yes, the Blackwater battle is a bit of an exception being quite a bit longer than most of the battles in the books. I would say that the Night's Watch battle on the fist has a fair bit of detail as well.


    If you go to the westeros website run by GRRM's friends, the forums have a lot of posts from extras and people in the know who have claimed that the lions share of the special effects and extra's budget went into episode 9 which will feature none other than the battle of BWB. I'll be convinced once we see it - if they do another deal sort of like Tyrion getting on a horse and saying "let's sortie and kill them all KINGS LANDING YAAAAARG", then fading to black then back to the battle being over, I may throw something at my TV.

    Just from a production standpoint, the amount of work they are doing with each show, I'd expect that HBO is spending a shitload of money on just what is being produced right now. If they had to add the scenes in for the battles, im sure their budget would skyrocket and frankly, for a TV show, I dont think they have enough time to shoot huge battle scenes and make it fit neatly into the 1 hour episode.

    true. i dont really expect a big brave heart style battle every episode. but it would be nice to see a little more action at least once and a while.

    Does anyone else think the show sucks so far after reading the books? I gotta go back and read chapter summaries cuz I swear most of the shit never even happened. Then half of it gets skipped, i feel sorry for ppl trying to actually figure out what is going on.

    Yeah I've been wanting to go back to the book and see how things actually played out. I mean I read the second book a few months ago but I'm hoping my memory isn't that bad!

    But I definitely thought the Bathareon heirachy was Stannis -> Robert -> Renly but someone here mentioned that wasn't the case so who knows

    they are straying from the books HUGE, but on the upside, you get to see Natalia Tena nude.

    i really am not surprised, it is hard to keep a general audience to pay attention to so many plot lines, so they really have to have something going on all the time with every character to keep people from changing the channel.

    I'd expect them to cut out alot seeing how detailed the books are. I'm surprised they cut out Jojen and Meera Reed altogether.

    Yes, the show strays from the books. But, remember, George RR Martin is an executive producer, I'm fairly sure changes and such made for television flow (which is a lot stricter than prose flow) are done with his blessings.

    They do have the BASIS of the books in the seasons... but they are being made for visual entertainment, not literary, so I am perfectly fine with the changes being made.

    Remember that the HBO series is billed as an "adaptation" of the novels, so some differences are to be expected.

    The man himself George-y Porridge-y wrote the 9th Episode "Blackwater", where most of this years budget was spent for the as previously discussed battle of the Bay. I have high hopes for this episode.

    This season is disappointing, so many deviations from the book is almost making this unwatchable.

    I have a hard time understanding how Bran's storyline after he leaves Winterfell will come together without Jojen and Meera. Considering how close Ned and Howland Reed were in the books it just seems silly to leave them out.

    But, the writers scripted Drogo killing Mako in the first season which never happened. George R R Martin warned them that he would be back in a Dance with Dragons so I guess they really don't care....

    I find the pace of this season a lot slower than the last... or at least harder to follow. My wife, who loved the first season has all but given up on this season. I am still watching though. We need more than 1 episode per week.. haha

    Benyl... she only needs hold out until Episode 9

    I honestly like the pacing. They are giving Aria the screen time she deserves, because later on in the (book) series she becomes one of THE most important characters in the entire, convoluted, twisted story.
