Hey folks . I want to start GOT books and then watch the series ('cause usually the book is better). Just wanted to ask you guys if it is good this way or not ? (I haven't started yet)
I'm currently watching S03E05. Upto this point I've come to realise a lot of men in power are stupidly dumb or did dumb things that doesn't even make any sense. Like in the first season Ned Stark after learning the truth about the Bastards without revealing it, confronted the Queen which was dumb in so many levels. Then in season 2 Catyln Stark released the Kingslayer just like that without any talk to Robb. And why did she except that they would just return her daughter when they don't have the hostage to bargain. Again in Season 3 Robb executed Karstark when he killed those Lannister boys(at the same time his mother hardly faced any consequences). Didn't he think this would cause a lot of traction between his army?
Also the little cunt as the King is doing whatever the hell he wants for the past 2 seasons. Doesn't the Hand(The Grandpa) thinks it's better to control that child sooner? And don't get me started about Sansa Stark. Her entire existence is full of contradictory thoughts.
Is the show going to get better i.e. major characters will show some witts except Littlefinger, Lord Varys, Tyrion Lannister etc.
I've just finished GoT, and I really enjoyed the entire show. Before watching, I heard alot of bad things about s8 and how it was terrible and whatever.
I finished it yesterday and I just don't understand why people would be mad? I guess I can see people not liking daenerys death or the sudden way the white walker part ended, but overall I really enjoyed all of it. Can somebody explain to me the main reasons people dislike it?
On a rewatch (first one in about 6 years), just finished 6x02, and holy mother of god I forgot how brutal and terrifying this episode was. It starts of so calm too. Maggie talking to Deanna about planting food, Carol and her casserole, Carl walking around w/ Judith.
And then bam. When the smoker got attacked I literally jumped. The fact that 45 mins before it was just another day for everyone, and then over half of the survivors are killed in the attack was a scary reality check after the calm-ish last few episodes.
From then on it was just complete chaos. I forgot just how insanely smart Carol was this episode and it reminded me of why I love her so much.
This definitely ranks in my top 10 episodes.
