Game of Thrones (HBO) TV Show • Page 428

Book 3 (A Storm Of Swords) is usually considered the best book i think, and that encompassed seasons 3 and 4 which I think are the best two. They pull some things from book 4AFFC too, IIRC.

Season 1 is pretty close to book 1...it’s probably the most true to the books that the show was.

After season 4 things start to diverge from the books more. Season 5 has a lot of book 4 and 5, which a lot of people consider book 4 the weakest because it focuses on characters people generally don’t give a shit about (ironborn). I do think there was much book stuff left by the time Season 6 starts

 

That whole battle would've been over in 5 minutes if Ray Peterson and Lt. Mark Rumsfield was there:

 

The first two seasons are extremely true to the first two books. Book 3 is the longest and was split mostly between seasons 3 and 4. Season 4 has elements of book 4 too, and season 5 has parts of books 4 and 5 but a lot of it is its own stuff too, and nothing since has appeared in the books yet

Imo season 3 is the best part of the show, and book 3 is the highlight for me, so I would say they’ve got similar strengths

 

It's probably 3-5-2-1-4 for me in terms of ranking the books.

 

Ok cool. 3 was hands down my favorite season so it’s nice that those line up.

 

Really like anybody else. Just suggest putting guys behind the trench and not running your cavalry directly at them to start the battle.

 

I was just finding an excuse to post a picture from The 'Burbs.

 

Oh no, my heart

 

I didn't feel emotional about this episode at all. The one before it made me get a lump in my throat way, way more.

 

Jorah's death got to me.

 

So the Iron Bank definitely sent the Golden Company as a Trojan Horse to betray Cersei right? I’ve been thinking that probably has to happen.

 

Why adwd so high? Not to be rude, I’ve just never seen someone rank it so high before

3, 1, 2, 5, 4 for me

 

Because it was awesome idk, I loved it.

 

“Lancelot, Galahad, and I leap out of the elephant.”

 

This is the proper ranking, yes.

Also known as Any Book With Davos >>>>> Books Without Davos

 

Omg she’s real

 

We need that solidarity meme with Book Lovers, Show Lovers, and Love of Davos.

 

Davos is one of my favorite characters in both the books and the show. He’s so great. I feel like I’m constantly explaining to people why I love him so much.

 

This is an interesting thought.

 

You shouldn’t feel the need to explain yourself to people like that.

 

Game of Thrones’ Battle of Winterfell was less deadly than expected. Good.

But if Game of Thrones ended with the battle against the Night King, it would, in essence, be saying that once you win the right to keep existing, that’s it. The conflict is over. You have found an uneasy peace, and you can finally embrace it. This is more or less what happens in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, the work that George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels are most directly in conversation with. Various factions pause their fighting to unite behind Aragorn’s desperate quest to destroy Sauron, and then once Aragorn succeeds, everybody’s cool with him taking the throne.

 

Davos owns

 

Jon in ADWD is desperately missed in this show. The showrunners are cowards who will only be edgy of its gore, nudity, or a minor character.
