Did you read these books? I have been a fan going back twelve years, so some things I am not very clear on, but I do remember some things.

I can't wait for the next episode, there's so much going on right now.I want to ask something those who have read the books already - do you find the series less entertainin because of that?This 1 week waiting gor each episode seems like eternity, and knowing that the books are out there sometimes makes me want to just grab them and read them, cause...fuck it.But I really like the series and the scenario I'm not sure that It will remain that way if i read the books.Would mind share you personal opinion?

Even though I knew the outcome of the last episode from reading the books, I still got goosebumps from seeing it ;O. I've never really pictured cities or places when I read books, only the characters, so the show visualizes all the shit I never thought to.

TheHuHu4 coming soon :)

i dont know if i find the show less entertaining because i know whats going to happen, because i've never been able to experience this show without knowing whats going to happen. It's still rly good tho, and waiting 1 week per episode is alot better than waiting 5 years per book.

Well, theres pros and cons to both sides. I'm reading the first book atm and you kinda lose the stimulation you get from most books where you're visualising things yourself -- for the mostpart anyway. If you've already seen the episodes it's hard to visualise characters etc for yourself because it's already been interpreted and you've seen it and that makes it a little more dull of a read. Imo it depends what u like more, reading/discovering books or watching the show. I don't really know which one i prefer yet and if i'll for sure read 2nd book onwards before next show but i suspect i will =p

Thoughts?

the show will lose entertainment value if you read the books... and it also tends to make the show disappointing cos some of the details in the books are omitted in the series... or sometimes the feel you get from the book is so good and when you watch the show it's just never the same.

One thing I don't like about the show that I loved about the books is that little nuances of inner thought that a lot of characters had. All of the chapters in the books are named aptly of the person the chapter is based on : Jon, Catelyn, Ned, etc. So each chapter is a first-person view of that person. In the books you'll read I could cut you in two right now... which is written as is, italicized, to represent that character's thought.

I'd imagine the show would have the actors show just a quick second of these inner thoughts either through body movement or maybe a frown or a scowl. Instead for the most part, it's like they are reading from the script. The show is full of good to great actors, but I wish there was some more depth in the dialogue. The only people I've seen that really have their characters down pat are Tyrion, Jaime, and Robb.

TheHuHu4 coming soon :)

might as well read the books its always better imo.

and i've been waiting 5 years for the 5th book. I literally didn't think he was going to write it

gotta agree with huhu on books having all the thoughts going through everyones head. 'fear cuts deeper than swords' wasnt even in the tv show!

I'm getting the impression that most of the peope here are slitghtly on the book side.

huhu nailed the biggest difference, the lack of inner thoughts. it's really noticeable with certain characters and others maybe not so much, cat is probably the most obvious example. tyrion escaping the eyrie was pretty irritating in the show as well

otherwise, i think the show is doing an excellent job.

Leonidas for Boromir is a fair exchange.
