surfsandswells Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Okay, GOT nerds, for those of you that have read the books, are you going to watch the show that comes back tomorrow? I have heard rumors that they are going to show some things that are beyond the books. I have heard that GRRM has given some freedom to the screen writers to change the story a bit, so that those of us that have read the books will still have some surprises in store when we read The Winds of Winter (if it ever freakin is published). Just wondering if anyone else is having the same internal struggles on watching it. I wanna watch it, but I need WoW! Quote Link to comment
Sarah Barr Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Heh, I've preferred to read the books before watching the show, but the idea of trying to avoid a world full of GoT spoilers for however long before ASOIAF is finished is too much.

PMyrrh Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'm going to watch it. Mostly think of it as a different telling of the same story. After all, the Stark kids are all about 5 years older in the show compared to the books. Also,I self identified with Grenn when I read the books a few years back AND NOW HE'S DEAD IN THE SHOW!

Harbard Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'm still catching up with the books, but I still intend to watch it. The show has changed so many things with GRRM's blessing and involvement that I don't even worry about spoilers anymore. To me, the whole franchise has almost taken on the feel of history, in that I don't mind learning things in bits and pieces, in and out of chronological order--it just feels like learning a new detail or perspective on a story so big the order doesn't even matter anymore.

surfsandswells Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I have decided to watch it. T minus 4 hours until I can watch it here. I can't wait! Quote Link to comment
