s4 drops Sunday, presumably at 3am EST since Netflix is based out of Cali

read book 7 the last couple days, and first half of s4 is most likely adapted from that. if so, we are in for another treat

one of the most underrated shows of this genre imo

It's much-needed TV, but in general it rushes through the books too quickly

fair point. 1 season per book would be ideal. but the writers are very creative in the adaptations they make they add or add to themes. they impress me

I feel ya tho

Don't get me wrong - I like the show. It just rushes things a little too much at times and sometimes gets a little silly when it merges storylines from the books.

But it's still a good show. Uthred pointing a knife at his (then) wife and telling her "you be quiet" as he proceeds to run Oswald down and stab him in the heart for stealing timber from his land was amazing.

I read book 7 and then marathoned the last 3 of season 2 and all of season 3 the last few days until 3:46am last night then went to bed

s3 was so much fun. had forgotten how impactful one of the speeches towards the end of s3 was

I'm so pumped for s4. gonna go thru it slow this week instead of marathoning. just savoring it lol

@conor mcgregor nut hugger it clicked the other day but i just remembered. the main reason i dig the show more than the books is because the books are 1st person POV (which is so rare. i know its historical fiction, but its similar to my normal genre of high fantasy, which is almost always 3rd person limitted)

with a rolling 3rd person limitted (most with different character POV chapters) you get a detailed look into everything thats happening

but the books have to fill in that stuff with exposition, or whatever the tecnical terms are

whereas the show allows us to see everything they choose to let us see, even if the 1st person POV isnt there

The first episode of season 1 covered the first half of book 1.

In the books the attack on Dunholm is carefully coordinated because of how dangerous the mission was. In the show the attack included a priest armed with a club and zero protective armor as well as a nun.

I like the show but come on, son.

I've read all 12 books. They're short and straightforward so they're easy to read.

It takes me an average of 2-3 days to read one so a New Jerseyan could probably do it in a week I guess?

Unrelated to this show but did you see that one of the foxy hookers from GoT is the lead in the new Penny Dreadful series?

hahha I thought you meant one of the character whores. not just "whore" as in "woman"

you're referring to Margaery Tyrell, aka queen of the seven kingdoms lololol

apparently the premiere is on their YouTube for free:
