reo Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 The age isn't really a factor. Older ppl play younger all the time. Won't get to be enough of a difference to matter. And there should be plenty if content. 7-8 seasons is still pretty long and they've probably got content for more than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I remember hearing they were splitting the 3rd book into seasons 3 and 4 however they seem to be out pacing that timeline to me. Anyone else agree? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Maybe, but it's possible next season will jump into book 4 as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faceless Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 HBO has said this series will go 7 seasons. There is supposed to be 7 books, but book 3 is 2 seasons, so they will be cutting out a lot of material. I full expect the HBO series to end before the fat bastard gets anywhere near finishing the series. He may even die before he finishes it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamalisms Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Potentially he could do with the series what he planned to do with the books in the first place... or at least cut it by doing the big time skip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Well, they could cut out most of Dorne and House Martell from the story. So far in the books I don't see what they really add to the main story so far. Though I would love to see the Mountain vs the Red Viper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamalisms Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Dorne and House Martell will be players in book six. I just hope they don't cut out Fizban. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamalisms Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Halfway through season 2... they've managed to make Jon Snow a whiny bitch. He was mostly my favorite character in the books but he's just petulant in the show and it makes me wonder if my reading of descriptions and such missed the mark. They've made Greyjoy somewhat of a sympathetic figure... at least to the point that I get a stronger sense of being torn and in a difficult spot that than I ever did in the books. He still have an ego and abuses women, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 They've also made Jamie a sympathetic character, he may have had a good reason to kill the mad king but he still pushed a 10yr old out of a window because he saw him banging his own sister.

They do that in the books, too. He goes from evil to likeable very quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what Martin does with his characters. Jamal is right about Snow as well. He was my favorite character other than Tyrion in the books and he hasn't translated to the screen at all.
