Hmmm...interesting- It seems one character that dies in A Storm of Swords will die in Season 1. Apparently its a "he" too....

I don't like Tyrion at all. I hate smartass-with-a-heart-of-gold types. Varric is another one

But the characters are all great, if I had to pick a fave, I'd probably go with Daenerys.

Eh, Daenerys is a Mary Sue, Cersei is a 1 dimensional Disney villian, and Dark Star is like Boba Fett but even more pathetic. 

Sorry, I have a tendency to shove my opinion up other peoples' opinions.

I dunno what you're getting at. I just said I didn't like Tyrion's personality, not that he's a bad character or anything.

To me Daenerys and Cersei are anything but one dimensional. I have no idea who Darkstar is though, guess it's a book 4 character?

Sandor? Jeor Mormont?

Oh man, now I already read it <_<

Poor Sandor.

Odd that they'd do something like this though, I thought the show was supposed to completely follow the books' story.

I have to agree on Cersei. One-dimensional? I think not. Single-minded perhaps, but not one-dimensional. Cersei does fit the old trope of power hungry schemer always grasping for more, but is characterized in an interesting enough way to make me hate her. If she were one-dimensional I would find her silly. Why do you see her that way, Capt. Obvious?

[Seagloom]

I think GRRM is keeping Cersei safe to fulfill the prophecy of her ultimate destruction. He probably wants to build her up as much as possible beforehand.

It depends on how you look at it, I guess. You make valid points. I think what it comes down to is I am satisfied with Cersei as she is. I never expected she would be this deep, layered character with a sympathetic side. Sometimes being a totally unsympathetic monster is sufficient if it is done well enough.

Take Iago in Othello. He has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, but who can seriously argue he is anything but a pivotal and well written character? That is more or less how I see Cersei. She does well in the role GRRM created her for.

[Addai]

Well.. so what? Sometimes people are just bad seeds. We're not meant to sympathize with every character. The fact that we do so (well, I do anyway) with Jaime is feat enough.

Ah, it figures that there would be a thread on the series here.

I loved the 15 minute teaser. Every bit of it. I like that it was dragged out and not disposed of quickly: my worst fears were that the book would be adapted into a movie. A TV series is much better.

Shame we didn't really get to see much of Sansa, among the Starks though. I still wish they weren't aged up, but alas.

Screw the whole damn lot of you. I downloaded a preview chapter of this on my Kindle to see what all the fuss was about and now find myself having to buy the full book. Damn you all.

Well I've got as far as the dire wolf pups and had to stop so that I'll have some for later, can't afford to buy the full book until tomorrow. The opening in the forest was excellent and I've enjoyed it so far. Hopefully I can get far enough into it that the tv show doesn't give me any big spoilers on monday.

While the Hound is dead, Sandor most likely isn't.

Course, maybe old Marty just assumes that we all think Sandor's dead.

I always get the 2 Clegane brothers mixed up

[naughty99]

Sandor is the Hound.

Gregor is "the Mountain"

[silver-crescent]

Yeah, they should have been given more distinct names.

Heh- I only read Game of Thrones several months ago for the first time and I'm generally a slow reader when reading novels in my free time. I tore through the book in a weekend- thats insanely fast for me.  So yeah, you might get through it faster than you think

I completely agree!  I seem to recall reading three or four of the novels in an incredibly fast pace during Christmas break

Anyone catch the Song of Ice/Fire reference on Chuck last night?

"Oh, Edderd, why did you get your kids a Dire Wolf? That's a terrible idea!"
