A Clash of Kings Discussion [Book 2]

too much honor in a dishonorable place. R.I.P. (again) Boromir.

 

haha awesome.

 

ok just finished Book 2....fuck me in the goat ass. As much as I dig Tyrion, Was rooting for Team Stannis during the Battle of Blackwater Bay. Fuck the Lannisters

 

that part will haunt you

 

Reading book 3 and don't want to go into that thread.

Spoiler

But wtf? Red wedding?

 

Well don't post that here ffs.

 

Ok so finished Book 2, Impressions;

Sansa POVs are better than the first book
Imagine the Blackwater battle will be largely skipped in the show. Sucks b/c that could be epic
The Tyrion-Cersei back and forth is great
Still fucking hate Joffrey
Hope Jaime is featured more in the 3rd book
Jaqen H'ghar is a boss hope more of the faceless men later
Theon is a bitch hope he is dead but I doubt it
The Jon/wildlings plotline coud be interesting Maybe a Dances with Wolves thing? IDK
Catelyn POVs would suck except for the fact Robb is in them

Favorite characters so far
Jaime just love his cockiness
Littlefinger
Varys (love the deceitfulness and how he's always 3 steps ahead of everyone else

 

GRRM wrote the episode so maybe not

You start getting Jaime POVs in the 3rd book IIRC.

 

yeah...I'm halfway through book 3 and Jaime...wow

 

Hell yeah. Love that dude

 

yeah Jaime's money...one thing I've noticed is how far my pendelum swings between liking/hating characters from book to book.

 

curious to see how they portray her in Season 2

 

And they renamed her Yara so it wasn't too similar sounding to other characters . Weakest casting job they've done for season 2 imo.

 

she better have a fantastic body

 

I always pictured her as

 

she's a greyjoy, why do you think she would be hot?

same for Ygritte, she is a wildling, not a supermodel

 

soooo I shouldn't picture Brienne as

Spoiler

 

I pictured her as a Trinity from the Matrix type character. not super hot, but just a badass that adds to her sex appeal.

 

i thought asha would be hot. ugly girls don't make a guy act like theon did and theon roped in the pussy.

i definitely thought asha would be hot, not supermodel hot, but definitely with a certain sex appeal.

 

that's pretty good.

 

absolutely. someone along those lines is what i expected. emmy rossum is so hot.

 

yah. that was a weird fuckin chapter.

 

yeah I had to read that chapter twice....here's brief summary if it helps

yeah...after I get done with each book I reset the scope in conjunction with where I'm at and it's nice to brush up on events I may not have given my full attention to the first time around.

 

That was a pretty amazing part. How the hell did he think that up

 

only open if you've read aSoS.

Spoiler

" In another, she sees a room full of slaughtered corpses at a banquet, with a king with the head of a wolf on a throne."

That mother fucker GRRM told us in aCoK what was going to happen.

 

word...he even told us about

Spoiler

Daenerys getting her army

 

About 300 pages into A Storm of Swords. Trying my hardest to not read this this board. Wait for SoS it gets crazy. Does Sansa like the lemon cake or lime tarts more? You'll have to wait to find out.

 

90% of the Sansa chapters are unbearable

 

Sansa chapters get better.

 

lol at SoS getting crazy 300 pages in. Just wait.

 

Yea at the end they're really good

 

I liked the Catelyn POV's. Mostly because of Robb but for the most part I liked those chapters.

 

feel kinda cheated by lack of Robb POVs
