My specific example if of Viserys. I feel like I was excited when he got embarrassed in the show all because of the book and not because of his character and its development only in the show

---

I am reading the books but at the point when I saw this part of the show, I had not reached this point in the books, and as you can tell by two previous posts, I loved that he got what he deserved in that scene. So, though you may get a better idea of just how long he has been abusive and how much abuse he has heaped on Dany through the years, I feel like it was pretty well set up in their opening scenes when he brings her the gown and gropes her/threatens her then later tells her he is basically selling her for an army and doesn't care if the khal and all 40,000 of his men AND their horses f*ck her if it gets him back his throne. The books add layers of complexity to the story but after reading it, I don't feel any great EUREKA moments or enlightenment compared to the show, just that there is a richness of description. He writes well. But you gotta hand it to the show, they are doing a bang up job.

Thanks for the input both of you.

The show is great and definitely doing the book justice.

The only thing I get tired of is every scene in the "barbarian" land starts with a close-up of the eggs.

---

I have not read much ahead of the current show so no spoilers, but I feel like its pretty obvious the eggs are going to hatch. If not, that is what I get from watching the show.

I really hate that they show the eggs nine times every episode, it is rather annoying.

I can say I really enjoyed it one time, and that was because Danaerys was just seen getting pounded with her tig ol' bitties hanging out.

Man she is smokin.

Edit:

I think you beat me to it. (Pun?)

I guess I see that now. It is just hard to appreciate the show as much as it should be when I am reading the book right along side of it.

any one have the ebooks of these they would want to send me.

thanks!

I think my friend has them on kindle he might be able to lend it to you. I think you only have a few weeks to read them though. Do you have a kindle?

I'm not going to read the books, because then I will know what happens next.

I wouldn't read ahead, just let the show surprise you. And then go back and read, either week to week or after the season but that's just me george.

Ram- do you have kindle?
