I love those eyes! She's nice with natural dark hair too, but that blonde hair with dark thick eyebrows and big blue eyes is just a killer combination.

A little charred, but alive. At least we know she can't be killed by that method!

What's not to love about a hot naked chick surrounded with dragons? All she needs now is an axe and a horse that's on fire :laugh:

Yeah, but would it be better to read it after, you think?

Because then you get to learn more about the story, find out new stuff about the world, etc; instead of the other way around, where you read first, then finding out things have been left out because there wasn't enough time.

I've got the 4 books here just waiting. I'm going to start with the first, as soon as we get through the finale this week. I guess I'll decide after that, if I want to continue with the 2nd or wait out for season 2..

Not for me. I'm glad I finished the book before because there are things that happen with no explanation/differently than in the show. Besides, I got hooked on the book and couldn't put it down. Same with 'A Clash of Kings', I'm hooked. Can't imagine waiting a year to start it!

You will notice how in the book it didn't go down like that. He kills numerous people in that battle and sustains an injury to the arm when he gets hit by a morning star and knocked off his horse. In fact thus far Tyrion's strength and fighting prowess has been under represented, in the book he fights with an axe and splits many a head but I guess they decided to focus purely on his wit and ridicule his fighting ability.

Yes, I do know that. And I agree, Tyrion in the book is far better than the show due to the fact that we know he can fight. If someone only watched the TV show, they would come away thinking he's pretty much the pansy Lannister.

I'm sure they will.

You can see them on HBO Go as well.

I'm only on episode 3, me and the girlfriend decided to instead of waiting between episodes to just not watch till they finish since it was a short run, though I managed to have what happened to

Ned spoiled for me, which was annoying, and equally devastating, though I've been told not to like any character too much as this is no typical fantasy story where the main characters survive till the end, lol.

Which leads me onto my question, I've wanted to get into the novels after watching the first few episodes, but how do the tv series and novels line up together?

The first season is named after the first novel, is everything that happens in it the complete line from the first book (ignoring things cut out going from book to tv), or is it just a part of it?

HBO?s Game of Thrones has made its first casting hire for season 2:

Natalie Dormer, who memorably played the seductive and doomed Anne Boleyn on Showtime?s The Tudors, has been added to the fantasy drama?s regular cast.

Dormer will play Margaery Tyrell, a (minor spoiler alert)

beautiful and shrewd young woman from the influential House Tyrell. She?s pledged to marry the late King Robert?s brother, Renly Baratheon, as part of House Tyrell?s support for his bid to seize the Iron Throne from King Joffrey.

In addition to The Tudors (where, appropriately enough for joining the decapitation-filled Thrones, her character was beheaded) Dormer is also appearing in the upcoming Captain America.

I finally got around to watching the first episode and I enjoyed it up until the very end.

Why in the world were a brother and sister having sex? I forgot why I wasn't interested in this show in the first place until I saw that.

Anyway, I'm still going to watch the remaining episodes of season 1.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By excalpius · Posted

      >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art

      Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.

      I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
