Every episode I see makes me long even more for a televisual version of the mighty Malazan Book of the Fallen.

Malazan will never be a series. Never.

I know, I know...that's why I long for it so.
Anyway, FORWARD UNTO THE NEXT EPISODE THIS VERY WEEKEND! I hope David Nutter beings the fucking heat to the last two in this series.
Which episodes has Nutter directed in the past?

He's a great director. They should be good

Malazan would have to be an animated series IMO. I suppose it MIGHT be able to be done in a Spartacus fashion, but even that would be hard.

Episodes 6 & 7 from season 2. Jaqen, Arya and Tywin, Jon and Igritte meet for the first time, Jamie tries to escape. Good stuff.

Also what you probably don't realize is that for most of us book readers, spoilers being in here hurts us just as it hurts you, but in a different way. Many of us are pretty damn vigilant to be on the lookout for them and protect you from them.
No. They just need to use common courtesy and common sense.

There will always be assholes who will try to spoil stuff. The kind of people who do will always pretend to be non-book readers. Forbidding bookreaders to post here will not stop that.
As long as you have sensible and nice bookreaders in the thread who will 'take out' these arses, I think that's a good thing. However they should be sensible and report it to a mod, not discuss it in the topic.
Fake non-bookreader: I think Mellisandre will spawn an army of shadow tapdancers who will take over the seven kingdoms with the power of dance
Wrong reaction from a book-reader:
You read the books...don't spoil it for the good people here
Good reaction from a book-reader:
PM to mod..."this poster has definitely read the books... he is spoiling stuff for people.

Why do you think the 5th books is called "Dance with Dragons" ?

I was doing a rewatch of Sherlock a few weeks back and noticed that his wife plays one of Watson's girlfriends.

King in the North supporting checking in.

It was the dragons we bowed to... and now the dragons are dead! There sits the only king I mean to bend my knee to-the King in the North!"

Yes. Supposedly bits and pieces overlap from each season, but generally it's:
Season 1 = A Game of Thrones
Season 2 = A Clash of Kings
Season 3 = 1/2 A Storm of Swords
Season 4 = 2/2 A Storm of Swords
Reasoning for the split being that A Storm of Swords is apparently very dense in plot developments, and they didn't feel they could fit the narrative cohesively into ten episodes, not without making massive concessions.
That leaves A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons, and then the unfinished The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring.
AFFC and ADWD will work a bit differently to the previous adaptations, because (I haven't read the books, but this is their structure)
unlike the other novels both of these happen mostly concurrently. 2/3rds of ADWD show perspectives of events happening at the same time as AFFC. So whatever they do with Season 5 and Season 6 will be bits and pieces from each book in each season.
And that leaves the last two books, which obviously wont be written by the time the series catches up. GRRM has apparently told the showrunners how he'd like the story to play out.
I thought he told them how it plays out in case he dies. Would be... very interesting if they last two seasons came out before the last two books

I don't see them pulling only two seasons out of A Feast For Crows and A Dance With Dragons. Adapting those could be 4 seasons, easily. I'd imagine we'll get at least 3 seasons though.
Anyway, just my thoughts! We should probably drop the book talk though

It's inevitable. The 6th book may make it out before the show, but no chance for the final book.

If that's the case then they've obviously just decided to make up whatever ending they want. That should be interesting.

I think you're right, he told them the main thrust of the ending and where things are going in case anything happened to him, so they could finish the show.
GRRM still intends to finish A Dream of Spring before Season 7 or 8 (whichever season is last), but at this point it looks more and more likely that the show will overtake GRRM's books towards the end.
I think they said they were targeting 8, and that 10 would be too long.

No way, even if the show passes the books towards the end, the writers will have access to whatever Martin has written to that point, and what is not finished Martin will fill in the blanks for them as far as where the show needs to end up.

We'll see if Martin gets that final book in any sort of shape by then, I guess. I'm sure he knows how it will end but how it does so could be up in the air. It's not like Martin hasn't written himself into corners before.

They say this now, but even that leaves four more years of a popular television show running, and I can't see them rigidly sticking to this goal for that long, not with things changing as they do.
That also only leaves three seasons to cover two written books, and two unwritten books worth of content. I've heard some people say AFFC and ADWD could be adapted into one season? I don't know. Given the last two haven't been written, but anything could happen.
All they need is The Winds of Winter to come out before ADWD's adaptation has been penned, have it as narratively dense as ASOS, and that seven season plan will go out the window.

I'm sad Renly's gone. He was pretty cool.
Renly deserved better than death by shadow queef.
Yes, I said it.
Right now, I'm supporting Robb, but I'm concerned his decisions are going to come back to haunt him. I love Stannis, but he seems depleted this season. I want Season 2 Stannis back.
I don't see them pulling only two seasons out of A Feast For Crows and A Dance With Dragons. Adapting those could be 4 seasons, easily. I'd imagine we'll get at least 3 seasons though.

I'm not sure if this is okay to post, but I think I can comfortably say that you don't want more than two seasons of FfC/DwD. They're both really slow.

But it's the coolest crown shown in the series so far. I loved that thing.

I don't think they're slow, except for a couple characters. Anyway, there's an absolute ton going on in those books so unless the cut some pretty significant stuff, I can't see them squeezing it into 2 seasons for both of those books. Hell, ADWD alone is the longest book of the series.
Anyway, from here I'm gonna drop it
Happy to discuss it further in one of the book threads. - Status
