Metaphorically speaking, you are correct.
its the best tv show i ever see..
i cant wait to the second season!
looks like good TV show ! i will download some eposides !
i just started watching it yesterday and watched 6 episodes in one night. I guess i was bored. But great show.
i heard its a YEAR wait for season 2?!?!?
Love this show. Definitely full of surprises...
I've been wanting to check this out for a while now
I'm standing by my assertion that if the average bt user shows this much interest I need to run fast and far in the other direction.
That simple rule has never failed me yet.
I think the average bt user is only interested in the gratuitous use of boobies. There's much to be appreciated in the show that I'm sure is lost on the average bt user. You haven't tried out this show yet? You should at least sample 1 or 2 episodes before running away, I think you'll be glad to not have avoided it. You can at least trust the fact that I don't praise utter crap.
Idol, please suck it up and watch.
If by the end of episode six you don't like it, you can go back to the Larry the Cable Guy Marathon.
Eclecticism, he haz it.
It was worth a shot.
Go big or go Canadian.
Happy Canada Deh.
According to Republican Speaker of the House, that should be spelled "Doe".
Republicans are better seen and not heard.
The show is good but with their budget to make it, they seemed to size it down a lot. They've left out a lot how much the wolves are a part of the story / How close the wolves are to each of the children. The battles were also completely cut out. Too bad they can't make it a full twenty-some episode series.
I shouldn't have watched the first season at all. The series is so damn good, I don't think I will be able to wait for its next season....they say it will premier on the same time of year as this one
I just finished the books (including the latest) and am more appreciative of the obstacles faced by HBO bringing them to the screen and I'm now very curious how they're going to proceed.
I disagree about the battles...unlike LoTR (the movie versions), which lovingly (and for the most part, boringly) detailed the battle scenes, GoT is more concerned about the whys and the outcomes of war(s) rather than endless shots of people getting hacked to pieces. Large scale battle scenes may be visually interesting but violence is much more effective when you know the characters (did Orcs have names?) and can see the personal cost of battle.
In the book, Khal Drogo's khalisar (army, to the uninitiated) is 100,000 strong but only a handful of them have any part in the plot and I don't think the HBO version suffers because the rest aren't present.
I really wonder now how faithful HBO can be to the rest of the books.
Spoiler: ShowThere are two major problems they must deal with.
First, GRRM hasn't even finished writing the damn series, so no one knows how it's supposed to end. He just released Book 5 and thinks there will be two more but who knows?
Second, major characters disappear for long stretches of time- even entire books- so how do you keep the cast together and schedule filming?
Also, will the viewing public accept an entire season where a favorite character doesn't even appear except by reference (see books 3 and 4)?
Finally, a note about the casting.
I came to this whole thing a virgin, not having read the books, so my idea of the characters was modeled on the actors not the author.
The producers did a stunning job fitting the actor to the role, particularly Jack Gleeson as Joffrey and Harry Lloyd as Viserys- they are absolutely pitch perfect.
Where they made changes from the books- major and minor- it didn't bother me at all.
The dwarf Tyrion is supposed to be hideously ugly but Peter Dinklage is actually quite handsome and it didn't detract at all from the story.
(I'm predicting he wins the Emmy, BTW.)
So, now I've seen the series and read the books...good thing Breaking Bad started again to keep me occupied.
(Ole Gus would fit right into GoT, wouldn't he?)
Dick York/Dick Sargent.Barbara Bel Geddes /Donna Reed.Sarah Chalke / Lecy Goranson.
With a fright wig and a layer of dirt like anyone will notice. Especially given the demographic has the apparent attention span of a tsetse fly.
If the producers consider it to be a real problem then they will make an iPad app that tells people that it's the same actor and everyone will just think it's in their heads then..
I haven't quite finished the books yet so I don't know how well this will work in the future, but I believe I read somewhere that they are planning on alleviating the gaps between the appearances of certain major characters by intertwining scenes from future books within the current season (ie there were a couple of ACOK scenes at the end of season one) in order to help tide viewers over and make sure that they don't "forget" about those characters. Hopefully with GRRM directly involved in the creation of the show, these slight altercations won't affect the overall story too drastically.
Spoiler: ShowAnd in case anyone is interested, Margaery Tyrell, Brienne , Stannis, Melisandre and Davos have been cast for season 2.
Also clocker, any theories on Jon Snow's parentage?
it is really great show
the end is awesome i can't wait to see season 2
it is a great show i heartily reccommend it eddard starke was worth cheering for til he was killed
Yes but he didn't say how.I'm betting it was a giant anvil that fell on him.
Sort of like this but with more nudity.

Couldn't wait for season 2 and went ahead with the books, and they are even better then the show imo.
just out of idle curiosity. how many books where published of this not to be missed series........
Five, so far.
The plan is for two more books but who knows?
thanks for the info clocker. so it looks like at least a couple more seasons can be made.
Yes, but...
Spoiler: ShowIt's going to be interesting to see how HBO decides to do this. Book 1- A Game of Thrones- was perfect as a single season project. However, the next three books introduce a ton of new characters and they all kind of wander around, doing not much of anything. Basically, Martin has to kill some time as Dany and the dragons mature into the major force they're destined to become.
I'm guessing that HBO will combine the second and third books into season two of the show, no telling how the rest will go.
It's weird that HBO would commit to such an expensive project with no clear end point in sight.
Just finished the first season and wow, it might have been the best drama I've ever watched. I was surprised by the quality of the production values, you don't really see that in most tv shows. Hope they can keep this up for the following season!
I am currently reading the books, it's very good tv show.
Reading the books too. I love Arya so much. Dany too!
cant wait for the next one
