Theraflu 1,035 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I've been re-reading the series for the third time, but listening mostly on audiobook while driving or doing housework. He really is excellent. He broke the Guinness record for most different character voices in an audiobook, for the 2 cents that that's worth. Only problem is he's dying soon, so the next book needs to come out before then. I think he's like 92. Link to post Share on other sites
timwakefield 68 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I've been re-reading the series for the third time, but listening mostly on audiobook while driving or doing housework. He really is excellent. He broke the Guinness record for most different character voices in an audiobook, for the 2 cents that that's worth. Only problem is he's dying soon, so the next book needs to come out before then. I think he's like 92. Â Damn I knew he was old but didn't know he was that old. I haven't gotten to book 4 yet but apparently he was ill when it was first recorded so somebody else did the reading, but he later went back and did it himself also. Somebody also said he changed his voice and style a little for the worse after book 3 as well, but so far through the first 3 books he's great. Â His Arya voice annoyed me a little for at least the first book but definitely mellowed at some point awhile ago. It was a bit abrasive and slightly silly which was annoying cuz she's probably my favorite character, but like I said I think he's smoothed her out since book 1. There are also a few unexpected choices, like Theon's voice being rough and deep, but man is he good (Dotrice, that is). Link to post Share on other sites

Theraflu 1,035 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 They haven't done much with any of the fools. It's all nonsense anyways. Fun to read into Patchface's ramblings, but not necessary. You don't really want more Shireen, do you? Link to post Share on other sites
timwakefield 68 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 You don't really want more Shireen, do you? Â No, that's true. But so far I think she's barely in the books at all, and Patchface has had a few scenes without her (as well as a short look back at his life). Â Mostly I just thought he would be great visually, and the show has mostly ignored the fools from the book. Link to post Share on other sites

Essay21 2,387 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I think its bullshit we only get 10 eps per year. They could easily do 13 or 15. I mean you are already on location, shoot some more stuff and piece it together. Its so annoying to only get like 10 minutes with jon snow. I want more jon snow. I want more tyrion. I want more oberyn. Link to post Share on other sites

Theraflu 1,035 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 They've said multiple times that 10 is all they can do, editing/production wise.

David_Sklansky 1,904 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I dont want excuses i want more show. Gimme it. Â Exactly. Expand the cast and hire a 20th unit director, use stock footage shot by trail cams or fluff out the episodes with forgotten dailys from the Apocolypes Now set, I don't really care. I pay for HBO all year, I want GoT all year. Make it happen, brain masters. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
timwakefield 68 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 They didn't even get to Theon and Yara last week. Â Pretty excellent episode, although I was hoping we'd jump straight into the wedding. I got sick of the audiobook and swapped it for a normal book, but got bored of that too. I'm sure I'll pick it up again in a few days, but I've only read up to about the Red Wedding in book 3, so my plan of getting ahead of the show didn't work out and I still don't know what's gonna happen.
