Game of Thrones- Season 2

damn, i never would have even noticed this

"The last head on the left is George Bush. George Bush’s head appears in a couple of beheading scenes. It’s not a choice, it’s not a political statement. We just had to use whatever head we had lying around." - Dave Benioff & D.B. Weiss

Word....thats why I think he's lying when he said they just had it laying around. I think they did that on purpose which makes it funny as hell.

 

[Swiffness!]

Theon not hard enough for this right here and definitely not smart enough for them out there.

It was crazy how he needed to cut him so many times to behead him but Ned just needed one swing to do something like that.

lol, see that's one of those moments where Martin is schooling you on Medieval History

MOST beheadings went like that. In fact, it was considered a good look to let you pick your own executioner, that way you could pick the biggest, strongest dude to hopefully get the job done RIGHT.

Why the fuck would anyone WANT to be King of Westeros in the first place? Hand Of the King>>>>>King

Well its not like the King gotta worry a BP oil leak or Pakistan..........

THIS NIGGA!! Dude makes Joffrey seem like an angel.

just wait till they see what he does for "amusement" lol

Uday Hussein swag

Why did Dany kill her girl tho? She was a prostitute.

She was there when they killed Dany's other handmaidens.

IT aint like she was feelin that dude. She was just trying to survive.

She sold her out....thats how he got in...besides the other chic went out like a G.

MONGOOSE NIGGA CUT A MUTHAFUCKIN SNAKE IN HALF

True as great as the show is, the books really do take a big SHIT on the TV show.

That's why I don't want to read the books until afterwards. Allows me to appreciate the show as it's own separate entity then I can go back read the books and be transported on a whole 'nother level.

lol @ so many people being surprised that the books are better and more detailed than the show. That's pretty much the case with all good source material.

I'll even go as far as saying that I believe there is a bit of confusion here. Is it really that the books are better than the show, or are many of you just now figuring out that as far as storytelling goes books are a better medium than television? The problem with the comparisons being made here is that many people are claiming that the books are better than the show for reasons that don't really pertain to the quality of the show itself. By that I mean that books, in general, allow for more descriptiveness and exposition than tv. If you're saying that you like the books more than the show for that reason, then you're not really putting the show's quality as a tv show up against books' quality as literature. You're essentially evaluating the merits of books for telling a story vs a tv show.

exactly. no never hear a group of people who have all read a certain book tell each other "oh you've got to see the movie version, the book doesn't really do it justice"

No I'm pretty sure that I know books are better than Movies/TV. This show is the perfect example, at no point in the TV show did this show make me say "Fuck that I'm done with this shit!" and put it down for two weeks because something happened in the book that pissed me off so bad.

Really? Not even Ned dying?

If you haven't read the book then you just can't understand. GRRM kills people off like it's a sport bro.

I think I've done that with every book. Can't even find the fifth one anymore. Sample chapter up on GRRMs site has me thinking I'll do the same thing with the next one.

hilarious. might have to buy one of there albums for this.

I've read all of the books......I just found that the emotional effects of Ned being beheaded were the same for me ( if not more because you actually see it with your own eyes) as it was in the book. But each person feels differently about which one is better. I LOVE the books but I think the show is great too because its one of the few TV/Film versions that keeps me as intrigued as the books did and for the most part has stuck to the overall story. At least it doesn't take the source material for granted like True Blood and change it to the point where its unrecognizable to the bookreaders. But thats jus me tho....

shit i was feelin some kinda way for days after just SEEING ned get chopped. i can't imagine what it would have been like to read it. after reading so much before that, at envisioning certain things for that character down the road, not really expecting him to die and then to have it all just end right there. i'd probably have to put the book down for a while.

I did put it down after I read it.....And it took me a hot minute to compose myself after seeing it too even though I knew it would happen. Thats why I say even tho the books are beyond dope....the show is just as dope too because you're actually watching this stuff happen, outside of a few changes, with you're own eyes instead of relying on the imaginative vision you have of the story while reading it. And because the author works so closely with the show you know that this is what he wanted people to see when they read the book.
