A Song of Ice and Fire (Book discussion)

[Qalbert]

some group that's like the gamergate of sci-fi stuffing the ballot for hugo awards or something. they're trying to 'keep politics out of sci-fi and fantasy' or some shit

[BaneTheBrawler]

oh, that.

[Tyrath]

All I have to say is I am so fucking happy about the nod.

[Zetanio]

Any gifs of the nod?

[Tyrath]

See my sig.

[Zetanio]

Ahhhhhh. I like it.

[Moss]

Is there a website or reddit thread keeping up with where the show narrative is straying away (or past) the book narrative?

I feel like I'm noticing a lot of things but it's been a while since I finished the books so I second guess myself.

[Xerlic]

Was the old man from House of Black and White being Jaquen H'gar something from the books or is this just adaptation/possible book 6 spoilers?

Neither.

He was not Jaqen and in the books Jaqen is in the Citadel so its just the show reusing familiar actors.

[Zetanio]

Neither.

Yeah, it's to save the little brains of the show watchers. Can't handle another character.

[Hitoshura]

Leaving belwas out is the biggest offender. Bad enough that story is so slow and boring.

[Xerlic]

Neither.

That's what I figured. Been a while since I read the books, and when the old man changed his face to Jaqen I was like... I don't remember this happening.

[Cutriss]

Yeah, don't expect Oldtown to exist in the show at all.

[Galkaeater]

would that mean no fat pink mast either?

[Tyrath]

Yeah, don't expect Oldtown to exist in the show at all.

Might have to because I feel like Sam is off to figure out some important shit. But who knows.

[FallingHigher]

Are they skipping Iron Islands stuff too?

[Tyrath]

Looks like not. Not a single one of them cast.

Entertainment Weekly actually does a pretty good job of this in their weekly Game of Thrones TV Book Club. They don't have a list, per se, but they do break it down each week.

I use: http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/..._and_TV_series

It's a pretty good breakdown of every episode's differences from the books.

[Zetanio]

HEY GUYS WE CAN SAIL THROUGH VALYRIA AND THERE'S STONE MEN ALSO BARRISTAN IS DEAD LOL.

What the fucking boners.
