Members mdrake34 Posted June 14, 2011 Members Share Posted June 14, 2011 I'm kind of glad they moved forward the ages for most characters in the show. In the book Joffrey is 13 when he takes the throne. Robb and Jon are 15. Ned is around 32-35. Dany is 14 when she become pregnant.The show would be terrible with a bunch of children that young in the main roles haha I read yesterday that the ages were moved forward at George RR Martin's request. Not to mention they couldn't show Drogo plowing Dany from behind if they left the original ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Expressway to yr Skull Posted June 14, 2011 Members Share Posted June 14, 2011 I'm nearly at the end of the second book now (I haven't seen the TV series yet) and the books are the Fantasy equivalent of teh br00tz. He's written what I imagine life in the middle ages would've been like: full of incest, murder, filth and depravity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tronus Posted June 14, 2011 Members Share Posted June 14, 2011 I'm a pretty big dork so I like swords and sorcery type stuff... Not that it would dissuade me from watching it if there wasn't (definitely going to start watching asap), but is there any strange beasts, magic, etc?

Members Danox3 Posted June 14, 2011 Members Share Posted June 14, 2011 I can't get into an "intense" drama that can't use bad language, adult themes, or violence. It's laughable. Ned's head, though What show are you talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! I've read a few books like that... Long past the time of magic and dragons but those times are still talked about and sort of lurking in the shadows. Awesome... excited to have a new fantasy series to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know where they would even show boobs, apart from Ted nailing Skyler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Danox3 Posted June 15, 2011 Members Share Posted June 15, 2011 It's on AMC, there is profanity ( a lot!) graphic violence (see Walking Dead? ) and nudity. SO, I guess you haven't watched it. It's on cable, remember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rezrover Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 The hard part about watching it is getting past the "weird for the sake of weird" stuff in the beginning. Almost need an edited Titanic version to just get to the story, which is so hard to follow because of all the added but unneeded crap that they have to insert to make it different than any other king-castle-knight-in-armor type of story.

AFAIK, everything that has been shown is the story and has been quite faithful to the source material. I can't recall any filler. If anything, they've dumbed down a lot of it due to constraints. You have to remember that it's a series of books with a ton of threads. Everything builds and builds and nearly everyone involved is a main character, so what seems minor now could take precedent in the next season.
