A Song of Ice and Fire | Game of Thrones

So, unless you've been living under a rock, you must know this wonderful series!!

And for my hermit friends, Wikipedia is here to help you...

A Song of Ice and Fire is a series of epic fantasy novels by the American novelist and screenwriter George R. R. Martin. The first volume of the series, A Game of Thrones, was begun in 1991 and first published in 1996. The series has grown from a planned trilogy to seven volumes, the fifth and most recent of which, A Dance with Dragons, took Martin five years to write before its publication in 2011. The sixth novel, The Winds of Winter, is still being written.

The story of A Song of Ice and Fire takes place on the fictional continents Westeros and Essos. The point of view of each chapter in the story is a limited perspective of a range of characters growing from nine, in the first novel, to thirty-one by the fifth. Three main stories interweave: a dynastic war among several families for control of Westeros; the rising threat of the supernatural Others beyond Westeros' northern border; and the ambition of Daenerys Targaryen, the deposed king's exiled daughter, to assume the Iron Throne.

Martin's sources included the Wars of the Roses, and the French historical novels The Accursed Kings by Maurice Druon. A Song of Ice and Fire received favorable critique for its diverse portrayal of women and religion, and praise for favoring realism over magic. An assortment of disparate, subjective and sometimes inaccurate points of view confront the reader, and the reader may not safely presume that a favorite character will prevail, or even survive. Violence, sexuality and moral ambiguity frequently arise among a thousand named characters.

How to do guys feel about the new season? I think it looks pretty amazing so far. The settings are getting more and more amazing each year. The cast is great too. I also like that, for the first time, since the TV show is catching up to the books, they are going to make some changes. I really look forward to be surprised.

Have you guys read the books? I know they are pretty huge, but it is really worth it. It is so detailed! And Daenerys so much more of a brat in the books which makes her a way more interesting character.

Finally, who do you think will be sitting on the Iron Throne at the end? My money's on nobody. I think the ultimate result, assuming Westeros isn't wiped out by a White Walker-pocalypse or Daenerys' dragons, will be the dissolution of the realm into separate kingdoms again.

Oh, for my books buddies...

I haven't read the books, but I watch the HBO series pretty religiously. Season 4 has been pretty good, but I still feel it's in the warm-up phase. Nothing really too jaw-dropping has happened, but there's been enough stuff going on to definitely keep the interest high.

Also, House Targaren all the way. Because, well... dragons. That, and Daenerys Targaren is awesome, although it's hard to see her trying to do the right thing only to have it often backfire on her. That's tough.

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

I started watched the show before reading the books, so now I wait to read each book until after the corresponding show season is over. So I have read book 3, but don't know anything beyond that.

This isn't normally something I would read/watch due to the graphic nature, but the story is quite compelling. I've seen the first two episodes of season four and yeah, so far not much has happened. I was pretty unimpressed by the first episode, but they always need to do a catch up ep at the start of the season, so that was expected. Episode two finally got things moving a bit.

I'm most interested in Arya's storyline and have been for most of it.

As for the end, I think it will either be Dany or Jon on the throne for no real reason. xD

Have you watched the leaked episodes? There is some great stuff coming... [Only now, I have to wait 3 long weeks...]

And while I really like Daenerys, I think she is a bit naive and really inexperienced. With time and perhaps some help Tyrion she will be an good ruler.

Arya has a really interesting storyline. I can't wait to see how it turns out in the TV show. She is one of the characters that has grown the most personality-wise.

Also, the TV show is really toned compare to the books and while I wouldn't recommend the series to a young audience, I think it wouldn't have met so much success without the graphic content.

[Brettles]

I love the books and the show.

I am looking forward to Arya's storyline the most, because she rocks. I REALLY want something bad to happen to Littlefinger! I am also interested to see how the dragons turn out for Daenerys.

For the throne, I want Jon Snow to get together with Daenerys and rule the Kingdoms together.

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Woo everyone loves Arya! Are there any storylines/characters you guys find boring? I'm not really a fan of the white walker/beyond the wall stuff. I found it kind of boring when Jon was stuck out there and also Bran's story is getting really really weird.

Probably the worst post of the show for me so far was the amount of Theon torture scenes though. I hated that guy but one scene was enough! It was horrible and wasted so much time when there were other characters I wanted to see!

I have a feeling that's exactly what happens, hence why it's called A Song of Fire and Ice. Daenerys resembles the fire, Jon Snow resembles the ice.

Scroll down to #1, but yeah, there's a big reason why I wrapped this in spoiler tags!

[Homura]

YOU KNOW NOTHING JON SNOW

It's pretty crazy how things relate to each other. There's so much going on with each character that it can get kind of hard to keep everybody's storylines in check. I have to say though Tyrion is probably the most interesting of the characters in the series.

HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN THE LATEST EPISODES?

I didn't think it was possible, but I hate Ramsay even more than I hated Joffrey. Seriously, he need to be beheaded. I just hope Petyr intend on double-crossing the Boltons and free Sansa. It is so different from the book it even caught me by surprise and I am such a nerd when it comes to GoT... The poor girl...

And Arya's storyline is about to get VERY interesting. I can't wait to see they changed that too...

Stannis is starting to grow on me... He is pretty intelligent and imposes respect. At first, I was supporting Daenerys' claim to the throne, but now I don't know. She just keep loosing control of everything. She really need Tyrion's help ASAP...

Ramsay is absolutely horrible, but still not as bad as Joffrey. I think if you were to revisit the older episodes, you'll remember of how many horrible things Joffrey does.

I'm still set on Daenerys Targaryen though. She has awesome ways of making a comeback when things look bleak, so I wouldn't count her out yet. Plus, she insists on doing the right thing even when things try to push her not to. That takes guts and I like that.

How is Stannis not your king? Stannis is "doing the right thing" personified.

That part made me feel ill. ;_; I still haven't watched the newest episode because of it. Just ew. I thought something was finally going Sansa's way and that was just disgusting. D:

I always kind of liked Stannis but I really hate Melisandre. >_> If he got rid of her, I would support him more. Dany keeps doing silly and annoying things so I have kind of lost my enthusiasm for her. xD

Yeah, that whole part had me wanting Theon to just WAKE UP and BASH RAMSEY'S SNEERING HEAD IN with one of the many blunt objects in the room at that time. He was certainly more than distracted for Theon to pull it off (and the timing would have been perfect).

As for Daenerys, what kinds of silly things? I don't blame her for not wanting to reopen the fighting pits, as those people should probably be introduced to some sport a lot more mild like hockey or soccer (tennis might be too mild). Her tactics to flush out that weird harpy cult need a little work, but I'm still confident she can set things right. That, and she really needs to STOP BEING AFRAID OF HER OWN DRAGONS. She is resistant to fire, isn't she? So as long as she knows her way around those teeth of theirs, she's got nothing to be so "oh, I hope I don't offend them" about. Other than that fluff, I think she's doing alright.

I do want to see Stannis n' friends chop the Boltons into bitty pieces (and to hurry up about it!). Although at this point, Ramsey deserves to be cooked by one of Daenerys's dragons, chewed up, and then have said dragon take a crap on the remnants of his smoldering corpse. It would be worth the cleanup!

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

I was so sure that Sansa would have a knife up her sleeve... But no. And then I was sure that Theon would do something... But no. Ughhh. Yeah he really needs to die a horrible death. I think its also pretty clear that Littlefinger cares only for himself, though that was probably obvious already. But delivering Sansa to Ramsay was low even for him. Next we'll find out it was his plan to kill Robb and Catelyn as well. He did away with Lysa so he is on a Stark killing spree. :P

I think Dany made a mistake by waiting around. If she went to Westeros to take the throne from Joffrey, she would have been mm more readily accepted because everyone hates Joffrey, whereas now she has to compete with Margaery who is well loved and has a prosperous House to back her up (that is if nothing serious happens with the trial of her brother).

Totally agreeing about the dragons! I dislike that Dany locked them up when they are her greatest weapons. She should be spending her time learning about them and trying to train them instead of avoiding them and making them dislike her. I find it hypocritical that she is fighting slavery and yet keeps her "children" locked up. I also dislike the guy she is sleeping with whose name I forget. But he bugs me and I think it is a poor decision on her part. I also think she should have kept Jorah around, but I did always kind of like him despite his betrayal.

I look forward to Stannis taking Winterfell too! Just want those Boltons to be destroyed any way possible and preferably before Sansa suffers any more. It would also be kind of nice if Sansa did it herself though. :P

Yeah, I can see why you think Dany seems to have goofed up, but I think she'll find a way to get it together. I have a feeling more moments like these (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrHw0nQHqTs) are just around the corner.

Also, Sansa needs to wake up and not be such a victim to everything. Kick, bite, punch, or do something, but sometimes you can't always expect someone else to rescue you.

And yeah, Arya's story is bizarre. She's beginning to catch up to Bran when it comes to bizarre stories. Plus, her becoming subservient and stashing away her sword just seems unlike her, so unless she's been planning something this whole time and keeping it very under wraps, I only see the situation going bleak for her.

Haha Bran's story is so out there. I was worried that Arya was gonna throw her sword into the ocean, but I'm really glad she didn't! It is very odd for her, but I guess she still thinks these people can help turn her into a murdering machine. At least the latest episode shed some more light on what she'll be doing there, I guess.

Soooooo.... how much of a Stannis fan are you now? *wink* *wink*

Folks, the results are in!

Daenerys +1,000 fan love.
Stannis -1,000 fan love.

Ah... after tonight's episode... I didn't think my love for dragons could get even higher! And it's another win for Team Targaryen!

(really feels like riding a dragon right now)

Dude. What. That was so weird! I can't believe Stannis and his wife did that. o_o I was watching with a friend who has read the books and he said the show and books are pretty much completely different now...

Okay Dany got way more cool points except that she left everyone else on the ground to get stabbed. XD Was great to see some dragon action finally! Imagine how good she would be if she had trained all her three dragons. She wouldn't even need a guard! I know the show makes it seem like the dragons are impossible to control now, but really, if the Targaryen's of old rode them, they must obviously be able to tame/train them somehow.

[Homura]

I did NOT see Stannis's burning of the girl coming. That literally came out of nowhere.

LOL the knight guy who went to Bravos. "TOO OLD"

Danny: Yo she wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for her dragon.

[Neo Emolga]

What...

...the...

...funk...

I'm still trying to wrap my head around last night's season finale episode and I'm not doing too well with it.

So, Stannis getting killed... a bit of a surprise, but I don't think it was farfetched. Things were already looking bleak for him and he made some really awful decisions. Stansa and Theon jumping off the freaking wall, what the fudge was that about!? Given, I think Theon finally waking up and tossing that snotty archer girl (have no clue what her name is and I don't even remember if she's a major character) off the wall and watching her go splat was priceless, but... surely they could have found another way around? I'm also not even sure if they made it out of that alive or not. Guess it depends on the snow pileup below, but I'm honestly thinking they didn't make it given the whole series never really takes an optimistic outlook on things and certainly has no qualms about killing off character fan favorites. :P

Also... really not thrilled with what happened to Daenerys getting surrounded by the Dothrakis, but... at least she's not dead. Why the heck would her dragon bring her all the way over there? It... doesn't make that much sense. I'M thinking (and hoping) she gets out of that mess by the first and second episode of next season... without too much trouble. I still think Daenerys is cool even if she goofs up a little here and there.

Also, let's congratulate Arya for finally beating Bran at having the weirdest plot! I have no clue or understanding about what the heck exactly went down or why she suddenly went blind. It's definitely kind of a bleak situation, but... maybe she'll make it out? I'm hoping so.

And... it took a while for me to get "Shame! Shame! Shame!" out of my head. No matter how much you hate Cersei, watching her go through that was not cool.

And then BAM, I was NOT expecting them to kill off Jon Snow. Well, that just threw the "Ice and Fire" theory out the window. Psh, with what those guys did, I honestly wouldn't be all that sympathetic if the White Walkers and that undead army overrun the Wall.

Bleh, I really don't feel like waiting all the way until next season to find out what happens with all of this mess.

S5 E10 spoilers

Oh em gee. I only just around to watching the season finale because I had been warned a fan favourite dies and I'd kind of put it off....

But wow I really wasn't expecting it to be Jon. What the. I really thought he was going to be important. I thought his parentage was going to be a huge plot point and he would maybe be the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna Stark maybe even end up on one of Dany's dragons xD But no...

I have no idea where anything is going anymore!

I'm pretty sure Sansa and Theon don't die, but no idea where they plan to go...

I could see Stannis' death coming (though we didn't exactly see it, so who knows what happened really). He made terrible choices and there was no other option for him. I never trusted Melisandre but she did look honestly shocked that everything went so badly.

Cersei's thing was excruciating. I don't really like how the show keeps making me feel bad for the worst people. o_o But I don't think I'm really feeling bad for them as much as disgusted by the whole situation/idea no matter who it was happening to. Theon is another example of this.

I was really surprised that Myrcella seems to have died as well...

I recently read the 4th book and everything is super different. I'm not sure if the show is doing its own thing or if the producers just know what is going to happen next in the unreleased books and adding that stuff in.

Really though, there aren't many people left to root for... It's really only Dany now, with Arya and Sansa facing setback after setback. Hopefully Dany can get those dragons under control. I do think what's happening with Tyrion etc. could be interesting at least. No idea what is gonna happen with the Dothraki but we really don't need MORE bad things to happen...

Jon Snow is dead. Long live Jon Snow. I suppose we’ll find hints in casting and billing notes for Season 6 to know for certain if he is really dead. If Kit Harrington shows up on the rosters, we know Jon Snow isn’t really dead. And besides, nobody is ever for sure, absolutely, one-hundred percent dead in this story. Arya thinks Jaqen H’ghar is dead, but no, that wasn’t Jaqen. We think Catelyn Stark is dead but, in the books at least, Thoros of Myr (a red priest, like Melisandre) brings her back, much like he’s brought back Beric Dondarrian so many times (without ever burning a soul.) Seriously, I'm sure he will be reborn in some way either as an Other or as Azor Ahai (who is definitely not Stannis now that we know he is dead.)

Speaking of Stannis, I'm glad Brienne was the one to kill him. I never thought Stannis would be king, or at least not king for long. He was such an a**. How could anyone let their daughter burn to the stake...

And Arya killing Meryn Trant was so satisfying... These "good" moments in Game of Thrones are so rare, let’s just enjoy them. Arya needed a kill, needed to whittle away at that long death list of hers. I think being blind will help her to become no one, but I do agree that her storyline is getting really weird.

I think Daenerys will be just fine. I'm just glad she realized that Essos wasn't her home and now that all the Baratheons are dead, Dragonstone is left unprotected and it would be a perfect place for Daenerys to begin her conquest of Westeros just like her ancestor Aegon the Conquerer. I personally can't wait to see the Others fighting her dragons... It will be CGI madness. :)

Rather than make a whole new thread, I figured it would be okay to revive this one now that Season 6 is in town.

Season 6 Premier thoughts:


I'm quite glad Stansa and Theon didn't get captured/killed, and I was getting a little anxious when that hunting party found them. This series has no qualms about killing off characters whenever it feels like, so yeah, those two are ones I'd like to see survive if possible. I also like seeing Ramsay anxious and take the fall, because that douche-canoe makes me sick. I also like watching Brienne get medieval on those bastards.

There seems to be a little more hope for Daenerys (I swear, her and Stansa have so much in common when it comes to getting into trouble), but obviously she's not out of the hole yet. As my friend put it, she's going to be sent to the "barbarian nunnery," but that's a whole lot better than death stuff. I don't foresee her being stuck there too much longer, though. My guess is either one of her dragons will help her get back or she'll sneak her way out of there.

Things seem to be heating up at The Wall in the meantime. I'm not sure what Ser Davos is going to do and how it's all going to work out, but I don't think the only guesses I have in mind are going to be what turns out.

I'm not too happy about Arya's situation right now. She seems pretty much helpless at this point and that other weird girl from the temple keeps being a real b***h to her at every opportunity. I'm not even sure who would be around to help her and how they would even do it, or if she'll somehow find someway out of it on her own. I also have a funny feeling she's not going to get saved or bailed out of that mess for a while.

And lastly, I wasn't expecting THAT to happen to the Martells in Dorne (probably the biggest shock out of the whole episode), but it was pretty brutal and I'm not sure what is going to happen there either. Frankly, though, if that whole place goes down the classic George R. R. Martin crapper of death, I'm not going to be shedding a whole lot of tears. The only characters that were worth really caring about are all dead now. :x

So, thoughts on the Season 6 stuff?

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Premiere spoilers...
The premiere was a really weird episode...

First off, Martells. Was not expecting that AT ALL. The Sandsnake's mother is like the complete opposite in the books, not wanting war or anything. Also how did the sandsnakes get on Trystane's boat in King's landing when they were standing at the pier to see him off? And why was he left on the boat after Jaime went inside? I thought Cersei would have locked him up straight away or tried to use him against the Martells. So either Jamie would drag him to her or hide him somehow, depending on his mood. Not just leave him out there! :P So odd.

Sansa and Theon... I was watching with a friend and as soon as we saw them I was like "dude if they get captured AGAIN, I am so done" and he was like "nah, it won't happen, they'll be fine". Next minute... dogs! I'm glad Brienne appeared and that part was pretty cool.

Dany... kind of sick of all the lollygagging. xD I groaned when Tyrion was like "looks like we're not going to Westeros anytime soon" after the damage to the boats. I hope she escapes soon and gets on with things.

Arya's stuff annoys me. She's my favourite and I thought her worst struggles would be over once she reached the temple and she would just be training to be a super awesome fighter, but no. Seriously who smashes around a blind girl that badly. Being able to fight without seeing would be awesome but you don't need to be that brutal.

And then the wall... I thought Jon would be revived but no... at least not yet. Davos is awesome. I still think Melisandre will revive Jon. The other thing I've seen people say is she could glamour someone to make them look like Jon, but that would be kinda lame.

So many bits and pieces... and we still didn't see Bran!

Yup, yup.


I totally agree with your point on Dany. It's taking forever for her to get a competent army together and it's just setback after setback. I HOPE, as a Dany fan, this sleepy slug of a campaign gets moving soon, because my goodness, the give-a-damner needle is starting to dip.

And yeah, I was also annoyed by Arya's stuff. That's just CHEAP and that freak girl had absolutely nothing to gain by that. My only hope is she makes a stupid mistake in her hubris and Arya leverages the hell out of it. And I hope she gets her eyesight back. If it was magically-induced, reversing the effect could still be possible.

And yeah, everyone I know is saying Jon will be revived. I'm... honestly on the fence. That's the one big thing everyone wants right now and I know George R. R. Martin and the producers are not there to just happily concede to satisfy the masses. Even if it does happen, I foresee a big price to come out of it, but if it doesn't ever happen or fails spectacularly, I'm not going to be shocked. That, I've come to expect out of this series.

And yeah, still nothing on Bran. I actually don't feel guilty this time about almost completely forgetting about him. :x

I just had to say this.


Quick, quick, everyone! What do these two things have in common?

Spoilers for Season 6.
Well that was interesting. I didn't really like the battle episode. It seemed pretty silly honestly. There were so many things that Jon's side could have done better that I was just left being annoyed at it all. Sure, the CGI was impressive but yeah.

I enjoyed the last episode because all of the main plots were furthered. It would have been nice if they spread it out over the season a bit more though, but what can you do!

Really? I thought the battle was pretty good. Sure, there were areas where they could have done things better, but it was pretty impressive to watch. Even if you didn't like the battle, watching Jon Snow use Ramsay's face as a punching bag was great, all to finish the show with Ramsay becoming puppy chow.

This year's season finale was WAY better than last year's. My friend and I take guesses as to which characters die next. I was right when I guessed that nameless girl who was Arya's adversary died, and my friend was right when he guessed Ramsay Bolton. So before the season finale, I guessed the High Sparrow would be next to die. I was right, but wow, he sure wasn't the only one. XP

Also, great Overwatch Play of the Game meme use:

I just can't believe now we need to wait another whole year before next season. >.<
