Game of Thrones

The first time I read the series, I could not understand that whole dream sequence in Winterfell. I must have reread the surrounding chapters like three times.

I hope they are able to keep making the series though. The great thing about the books is the almost extreme amount of character development you get, Arya being the immediate and most well known one.

Add in a dash of political intrigue, lots of violence, and main characters actually DYING for once makes for some good fun on HBO.

I liked the dream sequences, personally.

Good fun, and good storytelling. Because how often do you see main characters who actually have a chance to die? You never know what will happen next...have you read book two yet? Or just book one?

I was quite conflicted at the end of the 1st book on this one, both of my favorite characters had been killed off. I really wanted to see Drogo cross the sea and wage his war but at least we get to trade him for some dragons which should be more entertaining I hope.

question: Does the HBO season 1 = Book 1? if so are they going to try and follow that formula?

Don't worry, every death has a meaning and you'll see some characters have to die for the story to move forward. Wouldn't be much of a story if everything played out in the protagonist favor all the time. I personally like the feeling that no matter how invicible a character sounds, none are immortal action heroes. It keeps it interesting.

If the 1st Season is any indication of how the series will be separated, it looks like each season is 1 book. The rest of the books are about the same in length with the exeption of Storm of Swords.

Cool, thanks for the info. That means I can watch season 1 without spoiling anything I haven't read yet.

oh and I hear ya on the character thing. I just really liked Ned and Drogo and hadn't really identified with any one else as of yet. I'm kind of torn about Tyrion as well, I know I'm not supposed to like him because of his family but I don't think he's a bad guy, just wants some respect.

MightyBobo

Thats why Tyrion is my favorite character - you feel like you should hate him, yet you can never figure him out really...

Actually as you get deeper into the story, you quickly realize the lines of good and bad start to blur, and you dont even know who truly is evil and who isn't anymore.
