I like it because there's boobs. Its a good way to watch people have sex without getting a virus.

Its a p good show though. Everyone that hates it is just pb&jealous.

Eh I may give it a watch then. Though, a little birdie told me there were also peni and that kind of ruins my immersion. I will endure alot to get boobs though...

Gonna be honest, there's a scene where one guy shaves another guy's chest and armpit, and then tells him that he should be king while sucking him off. But then there's boobs.

Episode 7 shouldn't be out till next Sunday. You sure it's not 6 on hbogo?

HBO streamed it but I heard it was pretty terrible quality + they had bandwidth issues heh. I shall wait til Sunday for another 720p rip.

Ugh. I can't believe HBO cancelled Rome; that series was so awesome! :(

P.S. Game of Thrones is a bit slow (rightly so, and just like the novel), but for those of you that haven't read the books, it will absolutely pick up momentum with Seasons 2 & 3. I'll always love Rome, but if HBO nails the series adaptation of A Storm of Swords (Season 3), I will die a happy man!

Rome is another series that I didn't see.. I remember downloading it but didn't fully watch the first episode for some reason.

Is it mainly a Drama or is there action etc?

Listen very closely: even if the series is the best thing on television today, it still will not be the greatest fantasy ever written. Which it is. A Song of Ice and Fire is the most epic and irreproachably amazing thing that has likely ever been published. This series will be defining genres for decades to come.

I've read something like 1,500 novels; all I do is read, write, and game. I cannot give it any higher reccommendation, and I envy any person who hasn't yet read it for their awe and wonder in the discovery of what George RR Martin has created.

Mostly drama, heavy on political intrigue. It's very, very good. Try it again.

Rome season one was fucking awesome - at the time, it was by far the best thing on television. Season two had oodles of potential but failed to deliver in every way; the story of Octavian was just dying to be told, instead we got a bunch of bullshit.

All in all, season one of Game of Thrones is turning out to be better than Rome in my humble opinion, but who knows where it will go. In any case, it is the best fantasy-genre media ever produced so far, and I have a feeling it will just get better.

HBO Series style is the evolution of the motion picture. They have so much more freedom, and since digital tech is making things cheaper, telling a longer story is more economical now. I am happy.

Yeah, basically Game of Thrones rocks. Nevermind that it's basically a soap opera because it has two very important things:

1) Boobs.
2) Swords.

Well, three important things:

3) More boobs.

Actually four things:

I read the first three Fire and Ice, figured I had to give Martin the same chance I gave Jordan.

First book is great, left me wanting more, second book, ok, thrid book ok, no end in sight....4th book, 5th book, how many more can you pack in, why can't authors complete a story any more?

Just like Jordan. God Damned author is going to die before tying up loose ends. I hate that crap.

Could definitely tell it was coming though, it lead up to it.

Also did some reading on the plots of the book because I figured there was no way only one more episode could wrap up everything that is going on, and I was right; The first book and this season of the series only covers the launch of this war that continues on into the next season. Was sort of hoping for some epic fight scenes and decent endings (Joffrey needs to get his fucking head cut off), but this looks to be prepping up for the biggest cliff hanger ever.

Fuck.

(Disclaimer: I didn't actually read what happens in the books, so it still may yet tie up some of the storyline with the finale, but I think a lot will still be left open.)

Also just read that the 5th book out of 7 is being released in July. The book before it was released in 2005, and the one before it 2000... This looks like it's a story we won't see wrapped up until damn near 2025 since the TV Show will definitely slow him down (or never if he ends up dieing because he looks like an obese basement dweller).

Don't forget he stabs an enemy knight's horse in the underbelly with a spiked helmet, it was awesome. They do skip out on a lot of details but its a necessity, it is impossible for the show to follow the book completely. I thought it was going to be difficult to condense the rest of the content down into one last episode, but after watching last weeks episode I can tell they will do it just fine.

While I appreciate GoT's is fucking awesome I was left feeling rather short changed from the last episode (9?) Not because they cut one of the main characters head off (nowadays it makes sense to shock) but because they miss out the battle scenes!

To me they are integral part of the story, how do I 'buy in' to characters that supposedly save the day or become a leader etc etc if I do not see the fete that elevated them to that status?

Doesn't anyone else feel the same?

When I first watched this show, I thought they had taken one of my favorite books and thrown a bunch of tits in there to get ratings. Then it turns out the acting, sets, cinematography, script are all very well done. And there's the bonus of tits.

The book was very meh. Just the kind of pretentiousness I'd expect from someone who cares more about form, language, and world building than a decent story.

Does the TV show include just as many references to characters bemoaning the fact they're bastards of various families? And twincest (or incest in general)? Do people tweak the nipples of 13 year olds like they did in the books? Is there just as many naked mongols running around? And retarded half giants?

I read the book after having it recommended by so many people, found it very "meh", and found the above mentioned references to detract from the story because they were just so bizarre and were given a lot of focus for such pointless details. Very disappointing. Give me a copy of "Lies of Locke Lamora" or "Gardens of the Moon" or a Dragonlance book anytime. They at least give you a good story without the pretentiousness Martin and Tolkein have in their writing. And they're actual fantasy, with fantastical settings and magic and shit, rather than just a world with one continent that's an expy of Great Britain and another being an expy of the East, complete with horselord mongols.

I'm sure the TV show is just as bad as the book, and judging by how much people are hyping up the TV show in relation to how hyped up the books were, I doubt I'm very far off in that assumption.
