I got the WEIRDEST boner there...

I'm kind of scared to ask what made you harder, the incest or the *squish*...

why would i want to read porno anyways, thats why i have a portable hardrive!

Honestly most of it isn't talked about forever, but the details are there, and plentiful to get a pretty solid image.

I didn't find it overbearing. Then again, I'm a dirty fvcker.

Since I have HBO and have heard great things about the books I decided to watch the first episode a few months ago. My head was spinning so much due to the fact that all the actors have a british accent so it was hard to understand names and a lot of the dialogue in general, but I was very impressed nonetheless. Seeing that HBO had a viewer's guide I decided to wait till all the episodes were complete for the first season so I could carefully translate and make sure that I knew who or where what they were talking about to avoid confusion. That was the right decision because by the fifth episode I didn't need the viewer's guide anymore and was very used to the accents. Pretty awesome series which is what I expect from HBO (Rome, Six Feet Under, The Sopranos) and can't wait till April! I am going to pick up the first book this week to hold me over till then.

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.

loved the first season, can't wait to see season two!!!

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.

HKYStormFront · 12-27-2011, 04:27 PM

yea Tyrion (having only seen season 1, not read the books) is kind of the rogue, he could go either way. kinda like sawyer on Lost. some episodes he's the bad guy but you like him (or at least understand his point of view), other times he's the good guy

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.

Peter Dinklage is also acting the best I've ever seen him act, his performance as tyrion i feel is one of the reasons i find the character so enjoyable.

HKYStormFront · 12-27-2011, 09:14 PM

so true^ he is awesome in GoT. it almost feels like the part was written for him
