Anybody enjoying Game of Thrones? (HBO TV series)

[johnhughthom]

Almost done with the third book. I truly think its the best of the first four so far.
There were times I wanted to cry, laugh, yell in anger, and shout for joy. And I still have another 100 pages to go.

Both parts, or just the first? I'm about 150 pages from the end of part two.

I have to say the Red Wedding was a shock, even though I saw it coming a million miles off, as I'm sure everybody else did. I'm hoping to get some chapters from viewpoints we haven't seen before, specifically Tywin, I keep changing my mind on how much he knew about certain things.

who wants to see johnhughthoms face when he reads tyrion killing off tywin? lol. ]

I think by then you should be accustomed to that sort of thing. Plus, if the previous "holy crap" moments angered you, that one will make you feel a bit better.

I was depressed for two weeks after reading the red wedding. I'm also dumb, and I was hoping all the warning signs leading up to it were red herrings / not going to be *that bad*.

Intentional usage of "holy crap" there when describing the Tywin death scene?

Just got to that part, to be honest that's probably the only death that's actually annoyed me. If there was any character who's motivations and background I wanted to know more about, Tywin was the guy. I just hope Tyrion's words to his brother don't come back to haunt him, the truth about Tysha was probably the saddest thing in the books so far, as if we needed more reason to sympathise with Tyrion though...

Its quite ironic how we all love a character who committed such a grievous misdeed as patricide, no?

Imagine what an opinion we would have of Tyrion though if we only saw his actions through the eyes of the people around him, like we do Tywin. He would probably appear even more of a monster than his father. Jaime is a character most people probably hate, until we actually get to see thing from his point of view when he becomes likeable. I'm not saying Tywin would suddenly become a nice chap, just misunderstood, it's just frustrating that we never really get to know somebody so central to the events of the story. Probably the only person who becomes (slightly) less objectionable without have their own chapters is Sandor Clegane.

I have to say, the epilogue of book three was probably the biggest WTF moment yet. I can just imagine the author thinking "Okay, I've killed off a load of characters, who would people least like me to bring back? I'll show them..."

I was lucky enough to get my copy of Storm of Swords all in one book, and Im loving all of it, all 1200+ pages of it.

I cant say that I saw the Red Wedding 'a mile away.' Yes, I knew that Frey would try to do something, but I had no idea it would be that extreme.
