    Default Game of Thrones

    Anyone watching this? I really enjoy the books and have watched the first two episodes. I don't think some of the motives transfer over very well to the small screen because there is a lot of things in the books going on in the characters heads that really drive the story and the intrigue but overall it has proven to be a pretty good show.

    It's waiting on the DVR. As soon as the wife and I get some time together, we'll watch it...so hopefully before the next Superbowl!

    Yeah I am heavily invested in this. Great show so far! I didn't read the books but I like what HBO is doing right now. This is also on the horizon which looks good...

    I'm about 90% of the way through book two of the series. My wife just finished the last one and is itching for the release of the next one in June or July (not sure when exactly but I think it's June).

    We watched the first two episodes together and I enjoyed them a lot. If you're read the books, you'll get a lot more out of the show I think. As was said, more background info on the characters.

    But all in all, I'm liking it and so is my wife!

    Just finished the Storm of Swords last night and am about to start A Feast of Crows. Really a big fan of the Jon Snow story line and I am liking the Tyrion and Daenerys lines as well. I love the interweave of characters and when he shows you who they really are and not just actions it makes for a really intriguing read.

    I'm liking the show quite a bit at this point and am really excited for tonight's episode.

    Yes the first one kind of touched on each group of players so we get an idea where it is all going. I was suprised Jeffery didn't want her head for being kind.

    Only one more episode left in this season!

    I sure do hope the author gets back to writing. I just reread books 4 and 5 and as I understand, he's only writing two more and like the rest of the fans of this series, I wanna know what happens!
