[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;44632339]The Rains of Castamere is overused way too much in the show, it's lost all impact now. Should have only ever been played in the credits of the Red Wedding episode[/QUOTE] The Rains of Castamere is meant to be used so much, at least around the Lannisters - it's basically an in universe suckup for Tywin assuming dominance (by utterly destroying) over the Reynes and Castameres who weren't paying back any of their debts (they borrowed a load) or respect, and there was a prize for the best of the seven singers which is why nearly every singer of the seven meant to be in Joffs wedding sung their own version of it - to try to suck up to Joffrey. (though 77 courses, jesus christ. Imagine if Martin had written descriptions of all of them, rather than just a few of them...) It's overused in other episodes, but for it to be missing from the Purple Wedding would just be wrong, it got a fair bit on mentioning in the books.
Just bought the season 3 integral on blu ray, time to watch that shit in glorious HD.
[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;44632339]The Rains of Castamere is overused way too much in the show, it's lost all impact now. Should have only ever been played in the credits of the Red Wedding episode[/QUOTE] I can never have enough of it.
well this does it, now i have to sit down and watch easy rider [img]http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2014/115/c/2/easy_rider_of_the__westeros__game_of_thrones__by_zeekolee-d7fw7b1.jpg[/img]
Reading the books; Always imagined the songs to be different from what's in the show. The bear and the maiden fair being realy up beat. and the rains of castamere not quite so slow.
im happy that i found audiobooks thx black now i dont have to read 700 pages ith my own eyes, so much easier to listen
Those hundreds of pages being read aloud... Wouldn't that take you weeks?
The Storm of Swords audiobook has a 2 day run time.
listening sucks, read instead
[QUOTE=Badballer;44656946]listening sucks, read instead[/QUOTE] agree, I read the series 3 times and then listened to the audiobooks. Reading it is so much better.
its the persons preference
When it comes to reading ASOIAF, braille is the only way to go.
personally I prefer to have books laser imprinted into my brain
I have the entire series sung to me by minstrels
morse code master race
I prefer to read them through smoke signals, myself.
Is there a picture book edition?
have gilbert gottfried read it aloud to a group of children with impersonations of the deaths
I always thought latin stone tablets would be best
[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;44632339]The Rains of Castamere is overused way too much in the show, it's lost all impact now. Should have only ever been played in the credits of the Red Wedding episode[/QUOTE] It would have had no significance if it wasn't used for loads of lannister related shit before that though. It even says in the book how overplayed it's supposed to be, and a major part of the purple wedding chapter is saying how bored everyone is of Reins of Castamere.
[QUOTE=Robbobin;44660708]and a major part of the purple wedding chapter is saying how bored everyone is of Reins of Castamere.[/QUOTE] And what they're eating.
How do you make 77 courses for a dinner, who is going to eat all of that.
me
[QUOTE=Thom12255;44661043]How do you make 77 courses for a dinner, who is going to eat all of that.[/QUOTE] literally anyone but the peasants of Kings Landing
Were the Manderlys at the wedding?
Most of the courses are but a grape. The first seventy six. Imagine that, you're hungry and they're giving you a grape per minute. No wonder [sp]That kid from batman was killed.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Thom12255;44661043]How do you make 77 courses for a dinner, who is going to eat all of that.[/QUOTE] Uh book three/season three I guess???[sp]Nobody but A) it also doubled as a "We won the war" feast and B) Both the Tyrells and the Lannisters love to show off their golden cocks[/sp]
You mean Cersei likes showing her golden non existant cock.
so will there be a working Brettygood stream this time? Last weeks stream got flagged and I wasn't able to watch it
i'd just wait to watch it in a way that isnt streaming, i streamed the purple wedding and it wasn't worth the hassle at all. ruined the episode for me.
