Game of Thrones

I replied "I only watch it for the stories".

Haha. Well played Hef.

Wow, what timing. I'm 2/3 through Game of Thrones right now, picked it up in the Myrtle Beach airport a week and a half ago on a parts run. I wasn't too sure when I picked it up but it sucked me right in. It seems more like it ought to be a couple books all by itself; I can hardly wait to get the rest. I may have to order them straight off Amazon. With as much time as I have to read nowadays, they ought to last for months!

Wow guys. They have NAILED this! I just watched the first episode. Hats off to HBO. Everything was absolutely perfect. I didn't think they'd have the Dire Wolves in the series. It was so perfect, that I don't even feel like I have to read the series again. Or get an update from Wiki.

Hoosier: The marriage scene was pretty much how I remembered it from the book. He was being nice to her, but she was scared and from an outsider's perspective, it'd look quite "rapey." I mean she just watched some hoes getting nailed on the dance floor. Plus, she knew what was coming and that there was no stopping it. Pretty much rape back then at all times.

One thing that absolutely pisses me off about this aurthor - George RR Martin - is that he has delayed releasing his last book for about 5 years now. The first 4 are available at most book stores, though.

That's what I thought too. The Dothraki are some crazy f*^kers, just the way they roll.

Damn- I learned how to multi-quote. Good things are gonna happen today.

My buddy downloaded it and burned it for me so I'm planning to watch it tomorrow night. I have satellite internet so downloading 1.5 gig files isn't an option. I haven't read the books in a few years but I'm sure it'll come back. Looking forward to it (and the boobies ).

It came on HBO2 tonight, so I watched it again...I think its gunna be a great series

Episode 2 continued the perfection. The Kingsroad is the name of the episode. Everything was done perfectly, just as it happened in the book.

If anyone has questions about any background, or trying to figure out what is going on, I will gladly answer questions that won't spoil anything.

+1 - Reminds me why I got sucked into the bucks for hours on end. They are really doing a good job of portraying the written story, and I'm still impressed with the attention to detail.

I was so happy to hear that they decided to include Rickon, even if it was just a passing reference so far. Also, the kid that is about Robb Stark's age that is still in Winterfell; what is his name? It is Greyjoy or something right? He's from that other kindgom as an apprentice under Ned Stark right? What's the name of the kingdom again? Iron something? Salt something? I like when he goes home for the first time and runs into his sister. I forget which book that is in though.


Only read this if you've read ALL the books. I'd send a PM, but I'm not sure who all has read them.

>I'm concerned with how they are going to handle Bran's relationship with his wolf. I'm sure it is doable, but just concerned how/if they'll accomplish it.<

It's Theon Greyjoy, son of Balon Greyjoy who is the lord of the iron islands. Theon was more a hostage than apprentice since he was given to Ned after Ned and King Robert put down a rebelion against the iron throne by Balon. I think this all begins in the second book, but I can't recall. I'll have to look through them later.
