Game of Thrones! TONIGHT! (NO SPOILERS, book people!)
At the risk of seeming like all I do is watch television, (honestly, I don't!) I have to say that I'm totally pumped about tonight! Judging by the books this should be a terrific season. I don't know how far into the books this season is going to go, although I'm already starting to wonder if they'll catch up to GRRM in a couple more seasons. I'm really looking forward to dragons, the Red Viper making an appearance, dragons, seeing Daenerys continuing to grow as a ruler, dragons, watching Jamie deal with being back home, dragons, watching Tyrion deal with life as the son his father hates, and dragons.
BRING ON GoT!
(PS, yes it's another television show thread. Go ahead, make all the fun you like.)

I've read the books, and I have to say I enjoy the series immensely anyway. You do lose a lot of explanation and detail from the books, but GRRM is so insane about that kind of thing that I think he could stand a little paring down. Yes, the series is very different from the books in some places, but IMO it doesn't suffer at all because of it. Except for there being no Strong Belwas, now THAT is a great problem in my opinion!

Ok I have read all the books too and two things. I hate that they changed the actor that portrays Daario! The first one was WAY sexier (even though he is nothing like the way he is described in the book) and this new guy is kinda blah so far. Second thing, Jorah is nothing like he is described in the book AT ALL haha. But I guess that's a good thing, bc he is supposed to be pretty hideous. Fantastic episode last night tho! I like how much more loveable they are making the Hound! I totally agree that the books are fantastic in their own way from the show, because there are def things that are WAY different. Def at least one thing about the royal wedding that I hope they don't change tho! So excited for this season!!!!!!!!! haha ok sorry GOT just gets me really excited

I rather liked the Hound in the books. What I love about the books is that you can really appreciate every single character (love or hate) for who they are and how they got that way.
I think the hound really changes a lot to the reader because of how he interacts with Sansa...
I agree. The Hound comes across as a basically good guy underneath. I always got the impression that given different cir****tances he would be a much kinder person. But when you grow up with Gregor as a brother, who does that kind of stuff to you, well I think Sandor was just as much a victim of cir****tances as so many others in the books.

I was hesitant about the casting of Pedro Pascal as the Red Viper. He just doesn't have the same look that was described in the books. But after last night, I have to say...YOWZA!! Hot, hot hot! He's perfect. Sexy and dangerous!

Also, when I figured out what was going on in the prologue, I got a bit misty eyed. What an end for Ice and House Stark. 
And the dragons...holy mackerel! They're getting big, and Dany is starting to see that they are going to become problematic. When Drogon snapped at her...eek!
Sansa...Sophie Turner really made me feel for her. Things have been so horrible for her.
What did you like or not like?
