    I'm (too) slowly coming to the realization that Bolivar has a controversial opinion about damn near everything.

    The only people who were upset by the second season have completely unrealistic expectations for adaptations from one format to another. The series, as a whole, remains one of the best book to film (movie or television) adaptations ever. It's hardly perfect, but adaptations never are. For what it is, the show is phenomenal.

    Also, Dany's storyline is the worst part of the books. It's plodding, dull, and is only ever redeemed by one awesome scene at the end of each book. Otherwise, Dany spends an awful lot of time doing or saying a lot of stupid things. I will never understand why one cool chapter per book seems to make everyone forget how god awful the majority of the other ones are.

    I like all the children's chapters--it's enjoyable to watch them grow and develop. All of the characters have changed over time, but the children's development is exceptionally well thought-out.

    Danerys is a slow story to take off mostly because there's a lot of maturing both her and her dragons need to do. However I can firmly see that once that story arc is near completion (which won't be until the very end of the saga tbh) it could become one of the most interesting out there.

    Personally looking forwards to seeing the next instalments of Jaime's story since he starts becoming a much deeper character in the 3rd book onwards. I am especially curious to see the sword that they have made for his return, the one forged from Ice's blade.

    Boyfriend and I just finished going through the seasons. He's never seen it so it was great to watch it with someone new to the series. "Drogo will wake up right? He'll be okay right?" "The kids aren't dead are they? Theon better not have killed those kids." "Tyrion didn't die. He's not dead. Omg he's dead isn't he?" "Who was that who saved them? Is renly alive?" "What the hell came out of her vagina o.o"

    It's so hard not to spoil things. But now we're all caught up and ready for season 3!

    I'm still hoping Drogo wakes up.

    I'mma rewatch closer to the date. It's still a bit far off as I like to do about two or three episodes per day.

    Yeah, pretty much. I can probably get through about 4 or 5 episodes in a day, so I probably won't start watching for a couple of weeks.

    Yeah, we're going to finish way too early, but I'm married to a goldfish so I wanted to give extra time in case he started dragging his heels at one a week. xD

    I don't know when to start the rewatch either. =(
    I know there's a sweet spot. There's a day: If I were to start S1E1 on that day, everything would line up perfectly and I'd finish the rewatch just as the new season begins and the new season would be perfect, better than either of the first two seasons, and Joffrey Lannister* would somehow die in every episode, and Drogo WOULD return, reincarnated as a smurfing horse-dragon, and Ygritte would step out of the TV and be my, uh, spearwife, or hell, I don't give a trout, I'd be her spearwife, whatever she wants, and during the end credits of season 3 Martin would appear and announce he's finished all the rest of the books in the series ahead of time, and there's 100 more, each one more awesome than the rest, and the show's been renewed for all perpetuity and will never end.







    *I know what I said.

    Edit: also, TB's sig makes me feel icky.
