Pellaeon 593 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 The turning point for the TV series came in S4 E2, (“The Lion and the Rose” — the one with Joffrey’s wedding). The episode, which mainly adapts Chapter 60 (out of 80) of the third book, had originally been written by GRRM himself, who (up through this point) wrote one episode per season. But the showrunners changed the episode in ways that were unacceptable to GRRM, and that’s when he ragequit his involvement in the show, supposedly to go work on his books. The episode turned out pretty good, IIRC, but several plots were set in motion in a very different direction from GRRM’s novels — i.e., failing to set up several of the plotlines of the fourth and fifth books (which were already published at that point). On some level, can you blame GRRM for not finishing his books after all? Because even if he had finished them, the showrunners had already shown that they were going to do whatever they wanted. That’s got to be demoralizing AF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tom Guernsey 2,284 Posted October 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2022 Super late to the GoT party, but finally finished it so wanted to unload some totally unsolicited thoughts (some spoilers, but not sure anyone reading this won't know them already): I really like the music for the most part. Djawadi wouldn't be my first choice of composer (I don't know who would... these days I guess Amazon and HBO would be fighting over Bear McCreary), but the main theme has (rightly) reached iconic status and I was gratified that he used it here and there throughout the series. Never to the point of it feeling overused, but it nicely ties everything together. His finale based choral version is terrific. I'm sure someone has catalogued the other recurring themes and I'm sure I spotted a few, but I can't say I'd especially recognise them out of context. The music for the quieter, more haunting scenes is definitely the more interesting. The action is a bit RCP, but not in a distracting way - I rather think that most of the bigger battles could just have been tracked with James Horner's battle music for Braveheart. It just needs a lot of acoustic percussion and horn calls. The 8th season is much better than its reputation suggestion. I rather wish I didn't know about the controversy but I can see that, based on the pace of the show to that point, the 8th season should probably have had a couple more after it. It definitely felt like; Night King. Gone. Cersei. Gone. Dany goes mad then gone. Everyone agrees on something marginally less tyrannical. The end. Having said that, the two culminating battles (one per season would have been more than enough) are superbly staged with some genuinely haunting moments. The real shame is that Dany's fall into madness/tyranny/whatever would have been far more powerful over a longer period. You only really see the start of it and then it feels they pushed it so she goes OTT quickly so they can wrap the story up. Shame. The directing, at least from a cinematography/imagery point of view, is often exceptional. Interesting to compare it with The Rings of Power which looks undeniably lovely, but is all quite brightly lit and clean/neat/production designed. GoT on the other hand is all shafts of light, dust, snow/ash, light and dark, fire and ice (obvs), with innumerable artfully framed scenes that have a wonderful painterly quality but without standing out or being distracting. The effects are mostly excellent. The dragons, in particular, are perhaps the best on screen dragons I can recall. They look plausible in terms of size and proportions (even if, from a physics perspective, they probably aren't), have a nicely realistic/quasi dinosaur type look and act something akin to real animals rather than just being monsters. The effects for them only really falling down when doing close-ups of the characters riding them when the blue screening looks a touch janky, but that kind of match moving is probably hideously difficult. The set extensions stuff such as the huge castles and so on is almost always brilliantly executed, making great use of the locations and extending them into a plausible fantasy realm. It might get explained in House of the Dragon, but it always struck is as implausible that such a violent and regicidal society could have built so many amazing buildings and other edifices. Sure, they are meant to be heightened versions of real historic castles and churches, but it kinda feels that life is so expendable in Westeros that there never would have been enough societal cohesion to come together to build them. The spin-off should clearly have been Aya going off to explore. Enough with effing prequels. They are blond, they have dragons, they go mad. The end. GoT connections to my life. I have been to both Valetta in Malta (first season King's Landing) and Dubrovnik (rest of the show King's Landing). In the latter, they were filming some crowd scenes and I managed a few photos (despite the security people... but hey, it's a public place). I don't recall seeing any of the main cast alas. I used to work for a company who had a Belfast office next door to where they filmed GoT at Titanic Studios (seriously). I never saw them filming there but colleagues said they often saw some outside semi-studio bound scenes being filmed. The family of one of my former colleagues from said office owned the land on which they filmed (I think) Winterfell. Apparently they did quite well of it... as you can probably imagine.

This is the first part of a series of videos I will upload analyzing the soundtrack for House of the Dragon, this first part being about familiar themes returning from the Game of Thrones show, and how Djawadi repurposes them in new and interesting ways.

Knight of Ren 789 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Here's the second part of my breakdown of the themes of the show, this time focusing on all the different themes and motifs for the central character of the show, Princess Rhaenyra. Djawadi created several different ideas that he develops through the season (and I'm sure will come back in future seasons) and I tried my best to comment them all, their meaning, and their development in each episode. I even did a complete analysis on one of my favorite cues of the season, The Crown of Jaeharys, which features almost all of Rhaenyra's themes into one single, glorious cue. Hope you enjoy it! Feel free to share your thoughts and be sure to stay tuned for next part, where I will cover the different themes for the Black side of the story (Viserys, Daemon and House Velaryon).

Djawadi created many different ideas for all this characters, some more prominent than others, and I'm sure he will get to develop many of them as the seasons go on.

The whole thing is too big and spread too far. If anything he’ll release it and there’ll be a dozen new subplots included!! I’m still optimistic as I said before but it’s true that he really made it difficult for himself with all the different plots in books 4 and 5. On the other hand I love the subplots so if he manages to tie it together it will be quite an achievement. I read that he wrote a certain chapter in book 5 multiple times Spoiler (where Quentin arrives in Meereen), taking place at different times (in the story) to see which he likes the most. That meant writing all the interactions between characters differently given the different time frames in the different versions of the chapter. I’m sure he has already written one or more version of Winds that he has scrapped throughout the years. I think that the final book will be easier to write as Winds will wrap up or at least streamline/merge many of the different subplots which will reach their climax in book 6. I still think 2 books to conclude the story seems at least one book too little, given the massive scope of the story. Winds has so much ground to cover, from Stannis in Winterfell to the resolution of the pink letter (BOTB) to Siege of Meereen etc that I think one book might not be enough. My guess is that Winds of Winter and Dream of Spring will turn into 3 or even potentially 4 books (split into volumes). Alternatively I was thinking that GRRM’s old title for Dream of Spring (Time For Wolves) might become a potential title for Vol 2 of Dream, if it is ever released.

Edmilson 7,453 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I also have the same (maybe foolish) hope that GRRM is taking so long with the 6th book because he wants to conclude the story in it. It'll be a larger book (even for ASOIAF's standards) but at least will conclude the story. But if he's still keeping to his original plan of writing two more very long books, of which he hasn't finished not even the first one despite "working" (?) on it for over a decade, then yeah... We may not see an ending for the main story. Alternatively, if he does not live to write the final books, then maybe someone he trusts may do it for him? Sure, we may get another situation like the HBO show, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that he keeps rewriting and changing what he has written for Winds. I think his story plans have changed quite a bit since he started writing winds. Regarding the new HBO show, I’m happy about Ryan Condal and Vince Geradis being listed as executive producers as this will bring continuity and expertise to the series. Vince was involved with GOT and Condal is the showrunner of HOTD. Im confused about this show though because the story is set with the Blackfyre rebellions as an important historical backdrop, directly influencing the story. If they were ever going to do that as a part of HOTD, it seems weird to do Dunk and Egg before the Blackfyre Rebellions Rebellions have been done on HOTD. The best way would probably have been to start HOTD with Aegon’s conquest amd then just move forwards in time with the dance, the Blackfyre rebellions etc as far as they want to go (maybe even robert’s rebellion). Doing Dunk after Blackfyre makes much more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxMovieMan 271 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 He has been busy on it for years. It’s just tough to juggle all the characters and plot lines he’s written especially when the show has already released and a lot of thing received criticism. I’m sure that a lot of seasons 6-8 are different from what GRRM had in mind but I know that he gave a general outline to the showrunners on what will happen. For example Jon Snow coming back, Hodor meaning “hold the door,” Jon’s father being a Targaryen and his mom being Ned’s sister, him getting with Danny, Danny going mad, and Bran on the throne were all things he planned for the books. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,453 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Well, at the very least it had great special effects, sometimes much better than those we see in movies. BTW, IMHO the title of "worst GOT episode ever" is not even for any of the season 8 (as much as I hate The Bells), but rather the Suicide Squad episode from S7 (which, let's not kid ourselves, was as bad as S8), where a bunch of characters travel to beyond the wall to kidnap a zombie or something to show to Cersei (!). Everything from the premise to the execution was just painfully, embarrassingly bad. It's almost The CW-levels of writing. The action scenes were okay, until they were rescued by Dany who traveled all the way to the North (remember when GRRM said that Westeros was the size of South America) by dragon in Mach 5 to rescue our Suicide Squad. It's just atrocious. My favorite episode is still Hardhome from S5 though (which ironically involves another battle with the White Walkers).

Nick1Ø66 4,714 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 The show was on a slow decline starting with Season 5. It really went off the rails a bit when they ran out of books to adapt. That said, I enjoyed all the Seasons, including Season 8. While it was definitely a disappointment and significant step down compared to what came before, it was still better than most of what's on TV. All in all, one of the greatest TV shows of all time, with certainly one of the all-time great main title themes. MaxMovieMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
