Game of Thrones fans?

[Warren DeMontague]

Ive been enjoying the hell out of that show. After Season I I went and read the books, as fans no doubt know it looks like the series is diverging more from the books this season. I think the writing has been a bit weaker, but I also get the challenge of compressing such a rich narrative into a season of 10 1 hr. episodes.

Anyway, I've found it to be pretty good television, of course HBO often does good work.

1. I've not watched it yet... going to have to see if it's available on Netflix instant watch

[opiate69]

3. Oh yeah.. definitely.. I always try to do that with serial-type shows

[opiate69]

4. oh, and....

since I`m one of those nasty objectifier-types, that pic is now my new lock screen picture on my phone.. thanks, Warren!

6. lol! sounds like google will be my friend after the morning rush is over

[opiate69]

7. Dammit.. not on Netflix

[aikoaiko]

9. If you have comcast, you can ask for an HBO 3-month free offer.

Right now season 1 and 2 episodes are all "on demand". The season will be over soon. Make a call to cancel HBO and you're caught up.

10. We got rid of cable ages ago... I`ll just have to wait for dvd I guess

12. season one is out on dvd now.

Not sure when season two will come out.

[opiate69]

13. excellent... should be hitting netflix soon then hopefully

or I may just buy the dvd blindly anyway

[opiate69]

16. just watched a few trailers and clips on Youtube....

looks pretty epic... the wife and I are big fantasy/medieval/LOTR type fans here anyway, so yeah, seems right up our alley... I just may see about getting season one tomorrow after the clam dig.

19. handsome dude

11. The series is very good.

I was worried that it might not be as good as the books, but I was happily suprised. Looking forward to seeing season two.

17. Awesome show. Great source material, great writing, great acting, and high production values

It really hits all of the bases. They took some time setting up this season's plot, but now that we're in the second half of the season it's moving really fast.

Can't wait until tomorrow's episode.

22. I hope they continue to do the entire series of books.

Always pisses me off when I really get into a series on HBO and they stop after two seasons.

Rome, for example.

25. I loved 'Rome' as well

From what I remember it was given a short run because it was so expensive to produce.

I assume Game of Thrones is very expensive too, but it does seem to be doing better than Rome.

24. Or Carnivale

That one had a lot of story left to it.

[shawn703]

20. I did the same

Watched season 1 and then read all the books. Most of the things that differ from the book seem to be minor enough to not make much difference. Some of them I wonder about though, like why isn't Robb's love the daughter of a Lannister bannerman (something I think is a very important point later on.)

26. Just started season one.

I haven't finished the Tudor's yet, but I'm close. Good stuff.

30. I was most upset that the Reeds weren't in this season.

After reading somewhere they had been cast or were going to be cast I just assumed they'd be in season 2 but nope.
