Game of Thrones on HBO - Getting Excited? (Page 2)

Other than freaky mcfreak blond caressing his sis's boobs (which was creepy), isn't it just the Lannisters or am I forgetting another relationship?  It does put a damper on watching such things...

I downloaded the free sample from the first book to my kindle last week.  I honestly don't want to know much about what happens, so I am not reading ahead, but it's interesting to read a bit after watching, and to see what lines are included, how the story is changed, etc.    And I learn tidbits.  For example, "Snow" is the name given to all those born in the north that don't have a family name.

the brother of Danya was feeling her up in episode 1.

I thought snow was the name given to high born bastard sons.

I'll probably start reading the books on vacation this summer.

Just in the north.  Other regions give bastards a different last name.  "Snow" wouldn't make much sense in the tropics.  Other bastard names include "Stone" and "Flower".

I don't mind it

This seems to be the trend of all the network's shows.

Except that there was no continuity between takes .  It was halfway skinned, then a quarter skinned, then all skinned, then back to halfway skinned

watched it on the trainer so i didnt notice that, but its sort of like the Wizard of OZ where Judy Garland's hair is a different length in virtually every scene.

The set up to the season finally has been great so far. I am really enjoying the series.

I think I need to start reading the first book.

I know he's a kid but I keep waiting for him to die....  badly.

Actors that I actually recognize and in main character roles are now gone.

Wondering what gave the infection to the Khal Dothracki guy.  Was it the sword or was it the goat women dressing that she put on it?

Amazing to have a mind to write down all those story lines and keep it all in synch.

Honestly I'm glad I read the book.  I did struggle through it somewhat as it is a long read and slow at times but still enjoyable.  They did a really good job of converting the story to video as well (even though Tyrion did fight in the battle instead of getting knocked out prior).

I'm on the second book, and its amazing, I can't put it down.  It appears the whole series is written as one long story, and the first sets the table for this one.

I couldn't agree more! I was so hoping that it was one of those misleading story lines...I am so sad for the loss of a lovable, respectable character and mad at that creepy little king!! I guess that's what happenes when you mate with your brother!

He was great on Stargate Atlantis!!
