Reading the Book after the Show

How do you all feel about reading the books after watching the show? I watched the show last year but just now started to read the books but I feel like I have missed out on excitement or how good the books could be if I read them first. They are still good but I just wished I would’ve read the books and then seen the show.

What’s your favorite song?

Doesn’t matter if it’s one of the written ones in the book, one they sing in the show, or just background music! I wanna hear it all!

whats the bigest mistake any character made in th e TV show? (spoilers obv)

over the course of the show and the books, lots of characters makes lots of huge mistakes that come back to bite them in the butt reall reall hard, but what was the biggest mistake of all? personally I think it was cersei lanister empowering the high sparrow, this directly led to her own humilation and public shaming as well as the death of her son, but what about you? what do you think?

Pondering about Drogo and Dany

So it happened that I recently read the books series and watched the show and I still ruminate about it a bit sometimes. Here is one thing that bothers me: I feel that a lot of people completely misunderstand storyline of Dany's marriage with Drogo. Often I see comments be like awww Drogo is so cute and nice to Dany they're so precious blah blah blah. But fact is that he is a warlord who sees Dany mainly as incubator for his son and the same can be said for his chalesar, because in their so called culture women are basically slaves. I mean he kept raping her consistently after the wedding omg. It was downplayed to some degree in the show but in the books it was clear that the sex was not exactly consensual. Overall Dany's value stands and falls with her ability to give birth to a child with proper health and gender. Bluntly said she is a slave pleasing her master in order to survive, that is it. It is quite admirable that she managed to squeeze some semblance of power out of this and used it for her benefit but let's not be selectively blind to what this situation actually is. Often I was just for fun imagining what would happen if she gave birth to a girl or a boy that would not be appealing enough for Dothrakis. All that theatrical act Khaleesi this Khaleesi that would drop in a second I guess lol.

PS: gave NTSF because of the R-word and topic.

I liked season 8

I liked it when I watched it and I like it now.

Battle for Winterfell was sick and super moody/dark.

Bran as king makes the most sense. Dude’s basically a god with his omniscience he’s the obvious pick.

Cleganebowl was done right. No winners in a feud that bloody.

Cersei doesn’t deserve any closure or personal revelations in death, rocks do the job perfectly to literally and figuratively bury her soul.

Dany’s turn was foreshadowed for pretty much the entire series, never much liked her bc it was clear how crazy she was. I expect the books to have something similar if they ever come out.

Euron was funny.

Everyone else was concluded well. Talk to a wall.

Worst part of final season?

I know people like to complain about the final season and I'm not necessarily disagreeing, but what do you like the least about that season?

What specifically makes that season so shitty to you?

Does anyone else utterly detest Sansa?

I'm currently rewatching the show with my wife for her first time, I hate her even more than last time.

She starts of as an entitled spoiled moody child, she betrays her sister, then gets pressured into betraying her brother.
How she treated Tyrion after how well he treated him was also pretty detestable.

She then goes off with littlefinger into the sunset, to back him when he made an obvious power play.
She then agrees to marry the son of the person who killed most of her family, just to solidify her own position in the hopes the Boltons lose to Stannis.

After escaping she openly argues with Jon on matters she doesn't know much about, constantly trying to lead herself.

After that she doesn't tell Jon about the Knights of the vale, allowing most of his men to die for nothing, and then claiming they won because of her, the audacity...

While terrible things happened to her, it's not like she did anything except endure and complain, she went from spoiled/entitled to bitter/entitled.
Even worse is at the end after Jon made his sacrifice resulting in a very poor ending for him, she gets the North and makes it an independent country.

I don't see any remorse for her mistakes, only entitlement and a reward she didn't deserve.

Of course she didn't deserve most of the bad things that happened to her, but let's be real, most GOT characters had to deal with horrible things, and didn't turn out like her.
