If the Big East was Game of Thrones

Saw this little diddy on twitter and thought I'd share for my fellow GoT/BE fans.

I just started reading GOT so I'm unfamiliar with all of the names but thanks for sharing. That's pretty cool! As a Hoya fan and alum I don't like being associated with House Lannister. I have no love for those Lannisters. But we were once called the Hated Hoyas so I get it.

It's the offseason still, so I figured I'd resuscitate a mnay years old thread.

Is Jamie Lannister dead?

hahaha do not remember this at all.

That's a very entertaining, clever writeup. I'm assuming you've read the books? I picked up Game of Thrones randomly 17 years ago, and destroyed the three that were out. WTF happened then with Martin's writing "process". To go five years and six years between his next two books vexed me. My vexation knew no bounds. In that time period, James Patterson published 279 books, followed by Dean Koonts at 161. It will be interesting to see how different Martins last two books are compared to the HBO series.

My advice to anyone that wants to get into this whole phenomenon is to read the books first (they are long but as addictive as crack), and then you will have 80 plus episodes/hours of ridiculously awesome, Grade A, quality couch time. And to the skeptics, I'm not usually into stuff like this, but it's not anything near a cheesy dungeons and dragons rip off. This is very much for adult eyes only, and is essentially just a master piece of storytelling. And yes, I have some sic fi nerdish tendencies.

NJRedman, have you been watching the series?

I'm the last person who would get into dragons and magic, but have become a GOT crackhead, as you put it. I'm currently rereading the first book since I'm having trouble remembering stuff that's coming home to roost now. For all the magic crap and beheadings, at its heart it is about story telling and character development.

And I don't think Martin will ever finish writing, he's gone off the rails with comic conventions and advising the TV show. He struck gold with the first three books and completely lost his way.

Wild prediction: Jaime Lannister is alive, but badly injured, and he will find his way to his brother Tyrion's side, where he'll be instrumental in getting House Lannister aligned with Jon and Danerys in next season's climactic battles against the Ice King. Just hopin.....

Well we had our answer within 10 seconds last night. Not unexpected, I suppose. I wish the white walkers were gone just so we could get down to the Iron Throne business, but that's just me.
