i believe we are indeed unable to embed. i actually still havent seen the southparks that reference GoT, but i will one of these days. READ THE BOOKS, or, listen to the audio books. but you miss soooooo much if u dont read. its simply not possible to include all the characters or all the scheming.

first episode is meh. it takes a lil bit of time for the actors to slip into the roles for me, and the pilot is just that.. the pilot. watch 3 or 4 episodes and you will be hooked. i just rewatched seasons 1 and 2 over the weekend, gonna knock out season 3 on friday and saturday, and then just wait til the first week of april or last week of march for season 4.

so much good shit will be in season 4.

We just finished season 2 a couple days ago... Just waiting for season 3 to come out on blue ray in feb - so I will catch it all before season 4 in March.

One question: is Danerys supposed to be annoying as fuck? I hope she's a bit more likable in the books since it seems like everyone is supposed to like her, because DRAGONS (or some such silliness)

I wholeheartedly agree with this. Also, for me it's more than just being about not missing all the details and characters they either change or exclude in the show. I've never had a set of characters and circumstances actually evoke such emotional responses in me as it does while reading this series. The sadness, shock, anger, dispair, pity, fear, and horror - just to name a few - which to me makes a story like this completely genius and a must-read. It's so worth it.

I will have to give the books a shot. It's been a while since I've been able to get through a book without getting bored - so hopefully these will keep my attention.

I don't think boredom will be an issue if you choose to read this series because GRRM weaves it all together so well. I really like the way he focuses each chapter on just one main character at a time for this very reason. To me, it's more exciting so I never feel bored. It's pretty cool that he can make you root for more than one side too. It's because the characters are so well developed. I love that about this series.

I can't tell you how many books I start to read but end up abandoning because I just don't care what happens to the characters.

I think Danaerys will come into her own eventually. I have to keep reminding myself sometimes that she is just a teenage girl. I like her in spite of her flaws and still think she will be a complete badass someday. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Dany you say. i have a lot of thoughts about Dany. Firstly, the Khal Jhaqo is gonna die, his khalasar will follow Dany, because she has a f'ing dragon. Next i think she (with her dragon and with her newly acquired khalasar) will arrive back in Mereen just before Victarion's army and Barriston's army come to blows. at that point, they should make a deal because they all can help each other. Dany needs Vic's boats to move her people, armies, and dragons to Westeros (prob dragonstone cause history repeats itself). Vic needs Dany to help him with removing Euron and ruling over the iron islands.

Vic sadly wont last. and might already have expired

(Interesting theory I heard on a podcast: Vicatarion is "dead". If you go back to the chapter where Moqorro "heals" Vic's hand, it starts off as a first person chapter (per usual), meaning reading things and thoughts from Vic's perspective. Then they go into Vic's cabin, lock the door, and Moqorro does his thing. Now, when they emerge from the cabin (after the crew hearing all sorts of weird shit going on in there), the rest of the chapter changed to a THIRD person perspective, narrator style, instead of seeing things through Vic like usual. Then, there's one of Dany's prophecies, seeing a "dead man smiling sadly on a prow on a ship with grey lips". Vic, possibly? Don't have books on hand to better cite, gonna look at it later when I get home. Just found the theory curious (http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php...-already-dead/))

so maybe Asha ends up in charge of iron islands after all (with Vic and Euron out of the picture). but thats another story. with the Iron Islands on her side, along with Aegon and Connington setting up shop, i'd expect her to hit KL first. Dorne will back her, and the stage will be set for Dany and the south to fight Stannis, Jon Snow, and the North.

Oh but wait, fucking Whitewalkers finally show up and everyone joins forces to defeat those zombie blue eyed fuckers. then since they are all pals, and Stannis cant win against Dragons, Dany will win the throne and hook up with her nephew Jon Snow, Stannis will take the black and be the 1000th commander of the nights watch, Gendry will be legit Baratheon and lord of the House, and will hook up with Arya. but im getting off topic.

Dany will live happily ever after with Jon, and they will rule westeros.

So I read the first page of this thread and the last couple so forgive me if I'm repeating stuff but I thought i would throw some ideas I had about Dany out there to see what people think.

Dany = Azor Ahai

She woke dragons from stone (the eggs) and did so by burning the blood and body of a king.

You can try to argue that Khal Drogo wasn't a king but it seems like a cultural difference at best to me.

My prediction is that Dany will kill Jon (just like when Azor Ahai killed his wife) to make a weapon that can defeat whatever is controlling the whitewalkers.

Anyways let me know if this stuff is old news but hey its always fun to discuss ASOIAF.
