The idea of a commentary track done by the kids is delightful but I am not looking forward to their analyses of the various sexposition scenes.

I'm finding Feast for Crows a bit slow so far after the insanity of SoS.
I think that this is the typical reaction, unless I'm mistaken.
― Johnny Favre (Leee), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 03:26 (twelve years ago) link
ya same feeling here... it's taking me a lot more time to go through Feast for Crows than it took to read the previous three. the focus is really too much on characters i don't really care about i guess.
― Jibe, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 05:08 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, there are only two POV characters I'm heavily invested in in this one.

Everyone in the Seven Kingdoms is excited about the NFL playoffs.
The wildlings and the men of the Night's Watch and even some northmen are all pulling for the Giants, of course. But in the Vale of Arryn and the Mountains of the Moon, they're Falcons fans.
The Lannisters are cheering on Detroit, even if the lion is the wrong color, but some of the smallfolk of Lannisport on its western bay are fond of those 49ers. The High Septon and all the septa and septons and devout of the realm are for the Saints.
The butchers and tanners of King's Landing and Oldtown are behind the Packers, the smiths and armorers are with the Steelers. At the Citadel of Oldtown, the archmaesters and the Conclave are all about the Ravens, but across the narrow sea the khals and Dothraki horselords are screaming and whistling for the Broncos. In Volantis, the tigers are Bengals backers; the elephants are rooting for whoever plays the Bengals.
Nobody anywhere knows what a 'Texan' is, but a few Dornishmen might support them anyway, just to be perverse.
One commonality unites all the Seven Kingdoms, and the lands beyond. Everyone everywhere hates the Patriots, and Evil Little Bill.

But just 10 days after moving, Dinklage was back in Brooklyn, playing a “bitchy barista” in “A Case of You,” a small-budget romantic comedy written by his friend, the actor (and “I’m a Mac” pitchman) Justin Long.

seriously though: critics disparaging the show for plotting missteps and tone apparently have no interest in taking a look at the source material at all?there's a lot of "man they killed ned, what a disaster for hbo" and my understanding is that uh like everybody dies on this fucking show

seems like for season one that almost astonishingly neatly every 100 pages of the first book equaled one episode. so i assume same holds true for season two?

― humba (NZA), Thursday, 29 March 2012 20:31 (twelve years ago) link
soooo i guess that means they will eventually get off the 1 book/1 season wagon?

they're going to have to do book three over two seasons definitely

Last season critics only got four episodes as well, as the reviews were decent but not terribly enthusiastic, basically saying the exact same thing (too many characters, too much exposition, not enough to latch onto) but by Episode 6 it was all coming together a treat and it just sort of barrelled beautifully towards the finale.
It also seems to miss the point of Ned's arc. It was really shocking for me when it happened, but the best thing about it (and this is similar to Boardwalk Empire last season) is that when you look back, it makes total sense. Ned was honest and noble and very likeable and human and the audience could really latch onto him, but for all those reasons he was terrible at the politics and died for it. It would seem ridiculous to expect someone else to take up the "good guy main character" mantle.

I think they'd be lucky to get 5 seasons out of this. It's hugely expensive and even as it is a pretty decent hit I'm not sure it can sustain. I seem to recall an interview with the creators who were asked about catching up with the books, and they said they had consulted with GRRM and they have an outline of how it all ends.
