Breaking Bad SpoilerTo be fair, the entire purpose of the show was to turn the protagonist into the antagonist by the end. It's what makes it so interesting. I've gone from rooting for Walt to being horrified by the things he does and the ways he reacts. It's really a testament to just fantastic writing.
Yes, I understand that, didn't really need to explain it.
Also, Breaking Bad![]()
I've read them. Thanks!
But hes right saying anything will spoil!
Pike can I ask what made you tense? Between Cat exchanging wedding jokes with Lord Bolton and Robb flirting with Talisa, I almost thought they werent going to go through with it.
And GRRM has stated in multiple interviews that it's D&Ds show, he hasn't even been to the set in years. When he writes his episode, they give him an outline, and his script is heavily edited before being shot.
im starting on the books now. i always prefer to read after the tv show/film.
ive made the mistake once to read a harry potter book before the seeing the film... it completely ruined the film for me
You are all overlooking the fact that the 2 best characters are still alive and well.
Stannis & Davos.
Because the Harry Potter books are so much better than the movies? Or at least some of the movies. I actually think the movies got better as they progressed. But certainly they weren't the best of adaptations.
I like reading books before I watch an adaptation. It gives you a fuller picture of everything and probably a better understanding too. But sometimes, if the adaptation is crap, it just makes it that much worse to watch. It's the reason I won't be watching the World War Z movie. The book was excellent. The movie looks like horse dung.
On the flip side, I like Game of Thrones as a show way more than what I read of the book.
In the books, the laws of hospitality were established as one of the most ancient, most sacred codes. Part of the RW's effect was thanks to that, I think - like most people, I could tell something was wrong and that the new alliance would be terribly shaky at best, but I was deeply convinced that whatever happened, they wouldn't do anything there and then with the guests protected by these ancient unwritten laws. It was such a terrible taboo being broken, and I kind of wish that got translated to the show, but I think that the light mood was something of a supplement to display that sense of safety that the characters were feeling, despite the tension being as high as it was.
So Arya decided to do her own reaction video to the Red Wedding, in a style that I can only explain as a combination of redneck and hyperactive 12-year-old girl. It is worth it just for her facial expressions.
