Game of Thrones

I have to admit that the sausage eating scene was a bit...well it had me face-palming and shaking my head at first but then it became sort of funny. The way they dressed, lit, and shot the thick sausage/literal penis that Lil Bolton was eating and the focus on Theon's crotch for about five seconds was just the right thing to make you go "Well, I wasn't expecting that..."

Yeah, there was definitely a hole in my life that needed filling by a place I can go to see the key moments of the Red Wedding on an endless loop whenever I want. ;)

They're trying to cover way too much every season. If they're going to follow the books so closely, they need to extend the story lines across seasons in order to treat them adequately. But since they've been trying to cram so much into 10 episodes, they're skipping things or doing them half-assed.

It just seems kind of pointless. An easy resolution would be to actually diverge from the books in some ways and write good TV, not force the intricate details of the books to fit into a TV format on the misguided principle of staying 99.9% true to the novels.

I think HBO would argue that's what they're doing now where possible, but what they actually end up doing is missing out some of the good details and events from the books so they can insert gratuitous torture scenes and completely unnecessary "sexpositions" that add nothing to the story. They could have halved the number of scenes with Ramsay and Theon, took out the unnecessary pre-leeching seduction of the Bull by Melisandre and not bothered with the pointless Pod-goes-whoring scene and follow up scenes, and beefed up a storyline that needed it - explain better why this fucking three eyed raven is so important (Bran appears to want to find it just because Jojen says so), actually feature the other Greyjoys, I don't know. The sex and violence are important elements to the books, but Dan & Dave keep adding extra superfluous chunks of both.

On a lighter note, I wonder if anybody spotted Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol as a Bolton soldier early in the series or one of Coldplay as a musician at the Red Wedding?

Rep given. :hatsoff:

Most of what is on TV these days is pure shit. Really. It is. So I'm ecstatic that there's a show that I can watch and not want to blow my brains out after 15 minutes. But maybe ol' Dan & Dave could give the T&A crowd just enough to keep them tuned in and give the rest of us something we can't get anywhere else on TV: good fucking writing!!!!!!!!!

If I want to see tits & ass (or fake pubic hair), I'll watch porn or watch Skinemax a few channels up on my receiver. Just some good writing. You don't even have to do five scenes that make the horny youngish dudes happy and then five scenes to satisfy the angry Feminazis. Just write what the author of the books intended. And modify only as needed!!!!!

Seeing a show with amazing potential take the easy way out is so much more painful than watching a shit show that had no potential to begin with. This is why I'm so disappointed by Mad Men now. All that's happening with that show now is Matthew Weeeeener sticks his finger in his butt every week, smells it, he giggles like a simpering idiot and then Hollyweird pseudo-intellectuals tell him how talented and witty he is and then hand him an Emmy. Puuulease! But that show had amazing potential a few seasons back - until the writers got lazy and drunk on their own popularity.
 
South Park is currently in the middle of a multi episode GoT satire.
There are two XXX parodies as well as winter in coming.
 
I can't believe nobody has picked up that our very own OCSM queen geek Aeryn Walker has netted a role as one of Craster's wives.

Pretty happy with the casting of Roger Ashton-Griffiths as Mace Tyrell, looks about right :

As for the other major bit of casting, lad that's playing the Red Viper could go either way. I hope they get across just how much he likes a fight, and a fuck. As for the casting of Indira Varma as his paramour, Ellaria Sand....

Yup. That will do nicely.
