Agreed about the intro. A lot of HBO shows have pretty awful intros, but this was pure class all the way.

I'll check out the viewers guide. Thanks.

Yeah, I watched it with a group and I think there was a bit of confusion. But they all liked it and we're going to be gathering together to watch the rest of the season.

FANTASTIC news about season 2! The series really does get better and better.

Wow, episode 6 was the best so far if you ask me;

Spoilers for people who haven't seen it yet;


- Peter Dinklage is nailing the Tyrion role. Damn that confessions scene was awesome!

- Golden Crown - awesome

- Whoever plays Arya is doing an amazing job if you ask me...

I'm continually impressed by how well the characters are being represented. Love it.

The peeps I'm watching it with are becoming more enamoured with it as well. There's always a collective sigh whenever an episode ends, because we just want to watch more.
Two of them have asked if they could borrow the books from me and one of them just went straight out and bought them herself.

FireWire; Absolutely, I can't wait! Man, it was so tough keeping a poker face during the last episode!

I love watching their expressions. They always assume they know what's going to happen; then when of course it doesn't, they look to me as if to say 'whoa! did that really happen!?' It's great.

I finally got caught up with all of my Game of Thrones episodes.

Even though I knew it was going to happen, I was absolutely demoralized by Stark's beheading. In happened in front of both of his daughters, the look on Araya's face was heartbreaking when she saw those birds flying over head. From here on out it doesn't get any better for the Starks, anyone who has read the books already knows this. What will happen to the Starks is nothing short of tragic

Peter is working the hell out of that role! You find yourself rooting for him every single time he comes on the screen, and there are so very few people to actually root for in the ASoIaF series. lol

Bahhhhhhh... I gotta say...I'm pretty upset that I have to wait for a whole new season of this. It was slow to start, but once the ball got rolling, holy hell was it good!

Also, I want to have Emilia Clarke's babies.

Clarke has grown on me, and I look forward to her continuing her performance. Her final scene isn't what did it for me, although finally seeing her character become what she was always supposed to become was a great moment to end the season. What sold me on Clarke was the moment she began explaining to Drogo about the iron throne in Kings Landing, she finally seemed comfortable in the part and her scenes afterwards didn't look and sound forced. Clarke is going to have project that kind of confidence in the 2nd season because the road Danys takes is going to throw her some very wicked curves.

I really didn't want her as the choice for Danys, like so many other fans of the series I had already envisioned Dakota Fanning as the only one who could bring Danys to life. She would have been a more believable girl and her transition to womanhood (if you want to call it that) would also be more believable. But I guess I'm relieved that HBO didn't go with George's Daenerys, as she was only 13 and depicting the rape of of a child on her wedding night would have been too much.....even for HBO. Although they could have dropped the nudity during that scene.

The Dothraki weren't as dark as they should be, HBO has gone with a bland desert people look for them, in the books they are described as a colorful grassland tribe. I wonder what happened?

Anyway it's my prediction that the second two books will get mashed into the 2nd season for better pacing and more dramatic material. At least that's what I hope, because IMO A Clash of Kings reads almost like a stage setter for the next book Storm of Swords.

*one more thing. I did find it a little annoying that Danys hair didn't burn away bald like in the book. But at least it appeared that the one of the dragons was breast feeding like in the book.

Oh man, it's going to be so tough waiting for season 2, but I'm still just so tickled that the ASoIaF books are being made into this high quality epic series.

Half-way through Dance of Dragons- Loving it! The story does crawl, but I think that helps it feel more real and epic...

Damn. Just finished A Dance with Dragons. Great stuff, but I hope the Show's success encourages him to write the next one in a timely manner. 1100 quick pages. It doesn't help that Martin doesn't make each book self-contained in any way. I think there were like five cliff-hangers in that one!...

I've just passed the half way mark of Dance and loving it immensely. Also WTF, I thought this was supposedly the last book? I'm reading the forward and George is all 'Hi guize, hope you like Dance. Next up Winds of Winter! *troll face*'

Pretty pleased with the casting so far, they all look the part at least- and they aren't even in costume yet.

There's still two more books planned if i'm correct. That's why all people worry if he will finish this saga :(

He better not pull a Robert Jordan and die before it's done. Hell, as long as it took for Dragons to come out, I just might be dead before the series is done...
