She is definitely an overrated character to some degree. But she is still a very very good character and completely agree that her story has been a bit too fluffy and nice recently and will almost certainly be heading for a fall.

Overrated? Really.

Her storyline in the first series was great but everyone I've spoken to has tired of her. Her storyline and character are just not developing.

I think this season it should develop a fair bit seeing as she is one of the main characters in book 3

That isn't my contention, it's to do with the pacing of the story in the television show. Narratively we know that for her story to be at all worthwhile she has to make it to the coast with an army and her dragons otherwise it's a completely wasted plot line. So having it end with the slaves looking at the masters and then fade to black.

What happens next? She dies and the slaves lives are unchanged? It's just a bit stupid.

You have a thing for older gentlemen?

No, but I could make an exception for the greatest knight in the Seven Kingdoms (even if he's across the Narrow Sea now).

It's also great that they didn't give her purple eyes like in the books too or she would seem to be a complete fanfiction.net mary sue.

Though I don't think anyone in a George R.R. Martin book will have such a fluffy story for long.

Hope that ep isn't a sign of things to come since the episode before last was the last George will be writing for this season.

Im getting really annoyed with Daenarys story. Half due to the fact she's in like 1 scene a episode meaning she's never making it to Westeros

Yeah I was willing to go with it at the start of the season but I'm really tiring of it. I don't know if its the boring script but all the actors seem to be delivering such wooden performances in her storyline. Even Daario Naharis is nowhere near as cool as the shows creators seem to believe he is.

I haven't read the book but apparently he has been dialled way down. Would rather just not here from her for a while instead of seeing what a just basically filler scenes so we remember her.

He's got purple hair and a gold mustache in the books. I know that much.

Daenerys is meant to have purple eyes too. The annoying thing is she is heavily featured in the book this season is on if I remember correct. So she should really be in it more

Yeah, to be fair. They've toned down that across the board which I think is probably a good thing.

Daenarys is supposed to be about 13, and Jon and Robb are and were supposed to be young.

Makes it more realistic with what they have done.

I think at this point they are taking storylines from different books because the POV style means some characters don't even show up in some of the books. I don't know for sure but that's what I'd heard.

Does anyone else think the whole Jorah being a spy thing was rather pointless and glanced over?

Without spoiling anything it gets brought up later in the story. Probably next season

Yeah thats exactly right. Its why books 3 and 5 are split in two. Too many characters to fit into one book

yeah it definitely gets brought up. Similarly to how the fact Lady Arryn and Petyr were actually the ones who killed John Arryn was given a passing mention last episode, considering thats the whole reason most of what has happened has happened

You've read the books then?

Quick question, I'm about half way through the third, and I understand that the fourth and fifth books chronologically take place at the same time?

If so, is it split geographically? Like, does one focus on Westeros and the other Daenerys?

Although please don't tell me if you can't do so without spoilers. Don't mention specific characters etc. (Dany aside).

Its all done POV style so say book 3 it will have one part Dany which features the characters involved in her story. Then once you read her part you move on to the next part in the book which is another character

I know, I've read almost three of the books.

I'm just wondering which characters are focused on in the fourth, and which are focused on during the fifth, since they take place simultaneously so I assume no character will appear in both.

But I don't wanna spoil anything so I want to know, for example, does the fourth book focus on Kings Landings and the fifth on the North/Wall? How have th characters been divided?
