AdWD was pretty painful at first. certain characters got me through the beginning but the middle and end picked up extremely well

AFFC was way to slow. I only enjoyed 2 characters.
Real books FTW
I thought
Jaime, Arya, and Sam all had good material

I see AFFC and ADWD as 1 big *** book. Just crazy how every thing is turning out. Just wish Asha in the show was crazy hot and sexy cause that's how I read herI thought AFFC was way worse than ADWD. ADWD actually made up for how slow AFFC was. I just think there were too many POV characters.

Were you drunk when you wrote that or maybe you were typing on your phone?when asha was explained in the book. it was like Theon dropped everything to try and tal km to her because she wss so beautiful. i dont think the one o mnemonic the show us a terrible misrepresentation. but when we first saw hwr they couldve fixed her up better
How is The Hedge Knight? I need stuff to read. Someone needs to kidnap the old man and lock him up until he finishes editing the next book. He makes so many damn changes when he starts the editing process.
I'm reading The Hedge Knight now. arghhhh I need more Game of throne books.
dare I say screw the show just write the books.
The only negative about reading the books is not getting mind and eye effed when shocking things happen on the show.ASoS had me like "what the **** did I just read?" Damn near ruined my day.

The Grade
Wow. What else can I really say here? This is the best thing that has ever happened to TV on Blu-ray? Ok, that may be a little strong, but not entirely untrue. It’s definitely how watching TV on Blu-ray should be, and more importantly, it’s how watching Game of Thrones on Blu-ray should be. There are hours upon hours of exclusive content here that paints an extremely vivid picture of what this show is all about. Newbies and long-time fans can both relish in the astounding attention to detail that went in to this set. Certainly, it’s something that deserves some sort of commendation, and a gold star simply isn’t enough. This collection goes well beyond what was seen in Season One to bring the best possible content to the show’s loyal fan base. Considering the fact that you get three different ways to view the season, along with the content, this set has some real bang for the buck going on.
Unfortunately, despite the hours of fantastic content, there are a few things missing. As with last season, there aren’t any deleted scenes, which is disappointing. However, I have a feeling we might get some in the hidden dragon eggs (wink, wink). Also, I would’ve liked to see a bit more “making-of” features. Blackwater is the only one we get, but it’s completely epic so I can’t complain too much. Lastly, where are the interviews with the Stark kids? Sure, they’re on the episode commentary, but no roundtable discussions or interviews. Can I get some Arya or Bran in my life? I guess not this year.
With the incredible attention to detail and near flawless content packed into this Blu-ray set, all I can really say is “Bring on Season Three”!
Grade: A+
