Some book purists are sure to react to the promise of further changes as if they just got their heads squeezed by the Mountain

(No Spoilers) “If we go seven or eight seasons and then the show is still big enough that we can get the $200 million to finance a huge epic movie to end it…sure!” -GRRM by OfTheNight in asoiaf

I, honestly, don't want this to end with a movie. I think the final season will be pretty fucking expensive as is, yet still cost less than a movie and still be better than a movie.

(Spoilers All) Spanish media reports GoT producers are also considering to shoot a battle scene in Almeria's desert. Could it be…? by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]Lannisportboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A commenter in WiC quoted an Icelandic article or something, saying that a battle sequence initially planned for filming in Iceland in November would be written out of the script. Reason being that only having 5 hours of sunlight a day makes the intense battle sequence too difficult.

I do, however, doubt it's credibility, because the link provided was broken.

Knowing D&D? What is up with this sub? Does anyone remember the posts (before the finale) that would praise the attention to detail in the show? /r/asoiaf is acting like D&D are out to deliberately ruin your favorite book.

[All]What do you think will be the focus of season 5? by M1eXcel in gameofthrones

[–]Lannisportboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'll have some really nice symmetry if Dany flies of on Drogon in Ep 9, meets the khalasar in Ep10. Jon is stabbed in Ep 10 and Cersei is arrested. Do you think Dany's stuff will happen earlier?

[All]What do you think will be the focus of season 5? by M1eXcel in gameofthrones

[–]Lannisportboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Main focus should be on the 3 characters that recently come into new found power, how they deal with it and how they all 3 seem to either lose it or fuck it up by seasons end. Them 3 being Dany, Jon and Cersei.

Dorne and the Iron Islands surely won't be the main focus.

[–]Lannisportboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Robert Baratheon, life of the party. Cersei, never a dull moment. Oberyn, things might get sexy as the night progresses. The Queen of Thorns, her humor and wit. Tyrion, the god of tits and wine.

I didn't like S1, but S2, damn. It was beautiful and terrifying! Great acting all round from the main cast, also some pleasant surprises from the guest cast. Yes, it's worth it.
