LOL

Yeah, I was kind of wondering about the significance of the Rainbow guard myself. Interesting coincidence!

Now that I'm all done Feast of Crows, I can't wait for the next book! The wife and I are both feeling that way about the show too. Now that I know Renly did have something going on with the flower knight I don't feel like the show is straying from the book and will be able to enjoy it that much more.

Hey man I didn't pick it up either. I did find it odd that Renly's guard is the Rainbow Guard but didn't assume that meant he was gay. Interestingly enough Martin has said that the fact that his guard was the Rainbow Guard and that the rainbow is a homosexual symbol were actually not connected. Weird.

Awesome series, only seen the first four thus far, but so nice to see a series so gritty, dirty and raw.

Love all the characters, everyone seems to play their part so well, can't wait to see more.

My only criticism is that the North fort near the wall, which seems to be so important seems to be guarded by a few untested soldiers and seems pretty weak, maybe i'm missing something.

Was looking for something to watch last Saturday and started the series...pretty good! I actually ended up having a marathon of it and watched 'em all...

No sir you are not missing anything. This plays a huge factor in the stories. The Wall is the most important place in the world with winter coming, however the rest of the southern areas have pretty much forgotten about it. The creatures from the north have been forgotten about for the most part and people believe that the only worry are the bandits beyond the wall. The problem now comes that no man wants to volunteer to give up everything to take the black and guard the wall and so it comes down to men whose lives are already pretty much over due to crimes committed or due to heritage.

So yes the most important guard is also the least funded and least joined. I guess you can see some of the dangers in this.
