Any book readers here? I've considered reading them but people that have say the show is a lot better, plus the big question on if the book series will ever actually be written.

The whole series has been building to this point. The whole damn series has been "plot development", to the point that I personally feel some made too much out of how "fast paced" S7 was. There's 13 episodes left and the split it into 2 seasons, of course **** is going to move fast now because we're approaching the end.
Plus, it's a different medium than books, stuff gets told in a much different fashion. I was fine with 7's pace and have been fine with how 8 has unfolded, knowing full well (now) that **** is literally hitting the fan in Ep3. Add to that the knowledge that HBO hasn't seemed to include a damn thing beyond Ep3 in any of their promotional materials, they've set this up to be a wholly surprising season.
Friend a book reader, by chance? If so, I get the disappointment. The books have a lot more plot lines that the show has never really touched on and never will be. And since the books will probably never get finished...there's a lot of book readers who will just be left hanging with a lot of stories just completely dead with no ending whatsoever. Obviously unfair to put that disappointment on the show, they can only cover so much.
I didn't know that **** was going to hit the fan in Ep 3, either.
I don't watch the previews to next week, and I don't read any articles.
Honestly, HFB is the only place I get spoilers...

Some of my favorite books. Just like the TV show, the dialogue and plot is bar none. I burned through them so quickly. That being said...there's about a .0007% chance they get finished.
Edit: Also, some of his description of feasts and what the **** everyone was wearing was a little hard to get through at times but it's usually not obnoxious. Sansa's chapters were brutal if I remember correctly.
In the books, waaaay too much time is spent describing food.
Cersei? When did he tell her that?Hey so since Jon told Cersei that he's the rightful king, that probably means one of them dies right? I mean it's pretty obvious in the writing. If both of them were alive after the war, they would have just discussed it then.
Cersei is going to die.
I doubt it's as meaningful if Jon dies, and she just remembers what he told her.
She's dead.
Yah I meant dany. I'm better at hockey than game of thrones nonsenseCersei? When did he tell her that?
With regard to the preview, for at least next week's episode, I found it rather straight forward. I mean Ep2 ended with the White Walkers at Winterfell, so logic dictates that the next episode is the episode. The preview doesn't do anything but confirm that "**** is going down" (as I put it). It's still a vague preview, as nothing is really learned that we didn't already assume.

I feel like the show has a different feel than the books. I perfered the books because i feel the show incorporated too many things from the books but couldn't excute it with the limitations it had (sand snakes). I like the show too but i wish they could've just focused it in a little more. I didnt love feast of crows but dance was better imoAny book readers here?

Saw this today on r/Freefolk, but I believe the meme was only created by someone who believes this is what happens. I've actually yet to see any spoilers for upcoming episodes there, unlike past seasons, and I'm definitely not seeking them out. However I will put a spoiler tag in here in case anyone feels differently.
This was totally made for It's Always Sunny and GoT fans...
