There is. For instance, mine would be somewhere above yours. To help with my goal, I'd prefer you not respond to this >:>)

ok then i wont.

I was blown away by the television adaptation, with its devotion to the storyline, solid attempt at representing the actual land and cultures of Westeros, and utterly delightful acting. Each actor and actress seems suited to his or her role, and most of them somehow manage to match my mental image of the characters. Whoever was responsible for casting deserves a congratulations.

Two for thirteen at the Emmys .Of course you also have to take into account these are the same people that thought having Jane Lynch host was a good idea.

Breast Actor nominee Josh Charles of the Good Wife on the red carpet.:unsure:

The Oscar and Emmy shows are such throwbacks and so unique, I'm not sure who could successfully pull them off.
Jackie Gleason, Ed Sullivan?

How much irony can you drape over an ancient art form before it tumbles to the ground?

That is one of the coolest parts of being in the southern hemisphere- a warm, non-icy, Christmas. :)

My fucking climate sucks, I'm still in shorts. The question about winter coming applies to my IRL sitch. I have jeans, sweatshirts, long sleeves, suede and leather jackets that get absolutely no outside time. I fucking can't wait to move.

I'm through the first six episodes and though undeniably well done( especially the production values) I still am left with a feeling that the characters are little more than pieces on a game board.
Given the show's title maybe that is the intention but I would still prefer people to be more in control of their own fates.

That would be one of the worst parts in my opinion. I couldn't imagine a Christmas without cold/ snow. A warm Christmas just wouldn't feel like Christmas. But then again winter is my favorite season so I'm a bit biased. Winters are getting more and more bitch-like by me(meaning I'm no longer seeing snow all season long, just now the temp is getting pretty cold, Chicago winters used to be so brutal) so I can't wait to move where their harsher at some point in my life.

Anyways, about this show, I still haven't watched it. I'm going to wait until after the second season to start it so I have more than six episodes to watch.

I hate to rain on your parade, but there are 10 episodes in the first series, so now you have no reason to wait :whistling:

To clarify it's not so much that I object to the vagaries of fate but rather that up to that point in the series some characters lacked depth and seemed little more that pieces being moved around for plot purposes.
Since I wrote that though I've finished Season 1 and now feel a lot more "connected" to some of the people. Actually one of the pleasure of the series is that even (seemingly) minor characters are imbued with enough individuality/personality to give things a sense of realism.
I don't think the novels are a good as some seem determined to give them credit as being ,but there is no denying that the TV show was created by people who want it to be the best that it can possibly be.
I'm still not sure if limitations of the medium preventing big scale battle scenes is a good or bad thing though. I could have stood to seen Jamie captured for instance but given the choice none is better than bad CG.

Overall so far the show's a lot less"dark" than I thought it would be.I know things don't turn out too well for several characters further down the road but now that I'm invested I guess I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

You dive right into the center of what had to be the producer's biggest problem.
GoT is a massive story with extensive internal historical perspective and in book form, can meander to it's heart's content explaining the baroque nuances that color everything.
Most boring TV ever.
Believe it or not, the HBO version cuts out dozens of characters from the book and all the serpentine subplots they inhabited but even so it's easy to see how the uninitiated would find the series initially abrupt and mechanical.

I wonder if this wasn't more an aesthetic than budgetary choice. The anti-LOTR if you will, no endless Orc battles.

What about that one character? I forgot his name, but it was something CK (but not Calvin Klein).

I thought of that as well but I'm sure given the scope of the story budgetary concerns factor into everything on some level. I can see them throwing in some massive battle at some key point though if only as the contrast to previous expectations .The effect of course making it seem truly apocalyptic.

Btw I was one of the few who wasn't too enamoured with the LotR movies for precisely that reason.
It's easy for characters to get lost in the razzle dazzle.They certainly did in those movies and so they (unlike GoT) came off as being entirely bloodless.It never bothers me when cartoons die because, well they were never really alive to begin with were they?

It's pretty confusing .So far I can only remember that that Sean guy plays Boromir and if I hang in through the boring court stuff sooner or later someone will probably get naked.
In answer to your question though possibly the good bastard ,not the short but entertaining but probably bad one , is named Clark Kent.

It's done like the old Final Fantasy, was fantastic.

This comic creator is speaking directly to the filesharing crowd and GoT crowd with this one.

It's an obvious name spoofing. Has any release group ever labeled season 1 as "entire season 1"?

Which is why they blindly adhere to conventions. Either way, I believe I've read all of that guy's comics and am certain he would make it up even if I knew nothing about filesharing.
