[General Battuta]

I've owned the first book in this series for a long time, but I never got around to reading it, I guess partially because I've heard it's all sorts of grimdark.

It's about a bunch of people forced to be dicks by necessity (or raised to be dicks, by necessity) dicking each other over, with a couple honorable people caught in the middle getting dicked from all sides, in a contest to be the king dick while the common people continue getting dicked.

Draw your own conclusions as to whether it's to your taste!

The honorable people are also dicks.

[General Battuta]

Jaime Lannister is the best dick and has pimp armor.

Sounds like it's one mess of dickitude.  I'm sure I'll get to it at some point, but I've fallen way behind on reading in general.

Grimdark is the whole point I think. It's very obvious that it's not everyone's cup of tea. I'm not sure about the HBO series though.

You haven't done anything wrong but because this can lead dangerous places, please open up a book thread to discuss the books just so nobody accidentally slips about something.

I wouldn't call either of them grimdark. They can be depressing, but that's not the same thing.

More like grimdick amirite


I'm sorry.

[General Battuta]

Hahaha is it just me or is GURM not very good at writing for TV

[mxlm]

It's just you.

[General Battuta]

Yeah maybe, I was kind of distracted. For some reason this episode wasn't very satisfying while watching it, but thinking back it was full of good stuff.

[Ransom]

Yeah, I was surprised to hear you thought so. I found the episode to be the most consistently strong so far.

Although since we never saw anything happen to him on-screen  I'm going to continue to believe that Syrio Florel beat the crap out of the guy and is still alive.

[karajorma]

Well,.... I wasn't expecting that ending.

[mxlm]

Poor guy (do NOT click that link if you've not seen ep9)

I agree and wholeheartedly support the notion.



What do we say to Death? Not TODAY.




Also, waiting for the damn thing to download. I'll get my grubby comments out when i watch the ep.

In fact, on rewatching you only hear the sound of swords and then something heavy and metallic hitting the floor. Like, say, a guy in armour getting owned by a duelling master.

Let us truly hope that it is so



after watching this last episode... **** YOU JOFFREY, **** YOU.

LANNISTERS! MUST! DIE!

[newman]

Tyrian is far too entertaining to die. As for the rest, throw 'em off a cliff as far as I'm concerned
