Martin handled it a lot more subtly than the TV series has - not that I have a huge problem with that. So far they have the characters of pretty much everyone down. As for Cersei, + Show Spoiler + I think she has been handled perfectly. If you've read the books, remember that she is going to have Robert killed soon. With that in mind the whole conversation with him in that episode wasn't compassion, it was goodbye. She was angling for a reason not to kill him (was there ever a time you could love me?). She is supposed to have to weild her power covertly, a dagger in a silk sheath. Character is perfect for me. DUDE, FOLLOW THE RULES PLEASE. You're post just spoiled something huge for me and it wasn't even indicated that it was from the books. Most spoilers without titles have been of the TV series. Please man. Your not the only one who was spoiled. :/ People plz read the top light blue box above all the posts. He was following the rules. Maybe you're the one who needs to re-read the top light blue box? | ||

I guess they thought it would look a bit strange if she was terrified one scene and riding him in the next. Yeah, the showrunners actually said they filmed the pilot originally where it was like the book but it was really confusing to anyone who was new. | ||

I'm looking for a new book, and I love the show but you guys make the books sound much better. Now I want to read them. But in a little cautious as to how much I've already seen and just buy the second book and wait for the end of the season... | ||

So we are getting pretty close. I'd definetely say buy the 1st book though, it's so detailed, and it really helps you appreciate the series. Remember, season 2 won't be out for a while. | ||

The book is much better in my opinion (not a big fan of TV or Movies in general though, so take that with a grain of salt). The problem with the show is that you don't really get any of the internal dialogue, which I think is pretty important- I wouldn't have understood some of what was going on in the show had I not read the book to be honest. Books aren't too expensive, so I would just say go ahead and get it. It will probably be really hard to follow the second book with just having watched the show anyhow. | ||

Have to say I'm also glad I read the books, it helps so much in understanding who is what and what's going on. Plus I get to look forward to favourite scenes and characters ![]() | ||

Buying the book, and then the next books and then wait for a dance will be a very nice experiance. I dont think anybody that read the books was dissapointed. I try to read about 20 books a year and this series just blew me away. -deep chars -unexpected events -badasses -a story line that makes sense A storm of swords (book3) 700 pages of viagra. or in internet words DO EEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTT | ||

Or is it to show his age, because during the entire fight he looked either weak or very nervous, and I'm leaning more towards nervous since he was about to hold his ground with Jamie. | ||

I would also be nervous to fighting a lose-lose battle. Either I lose the battle with Jamie and die. Or I win the battle with Jamie, kill him, and promptly get killed by his 10 remaining guards. | ||
