All things "Song of Ice and Fire" (New HBO series - Game of thrones)
Who's watching this tonight?
I've been a hardcore fan of the books since I first picked up A Game of Thrones 15 years ago. Now, the TV show is premiering tonight and A Dance with Dragons is coming out this summer (tentative). Amazon.com "A Dance with Dragons" HBO: Game of Thrones: Homepage

Liked the books too, read the first couple when they came out. Above average. So i was a bit ambivalent to the show since i figured it could ruin it. But it was better than i was expecting it to be. When you read the books first than it takes a while to get use to seeing the actors faces as opposed to the ones you had imagined in your mind. Fortunately it was over a decade since i read them so i had forgotten the details. There are a few things you notice different but it is expected to be when converted to the screen.
I think an HBO series is about right for it since they can have the complex details of the politics involved. If it were a movie(s) the story would of been cut down and they probably would not have been R rated which this story needs to be. |

Game of Thrones!!??
Can't believe noone has really said anything about what could possibly be HBO's best show in a long time.
Me and all my friends are hooked, anyone else a fan? if you aren't watching this show, you should be. dude who plays Khal Drogo (the leader of a massive race of warriors) is also playing the new Conan. SERIOUSLY, WATCH THIS SHOW! |

Usually there's more action then that, it just wasn't as great as the other episodes imo ha ha. Drogo killing his number 2 man because he insulted his new foreigner wife was a good part lol.

I was just looking yesterday to see if Zilvia had a Game of Thrones thread!
Show is good! I'm loving the intrigue of medieval politics and combat! But the hint of mysticism flirting around each episode is whats really exciting me! Dragons. I'm ready for Dragons. Gimme. Now. Vampires, werewolves and Zombies? So last year. Dragon's gon be the new hot shit. Pun intended. Imma go watch Reign of Fire right now! Also, LOL @ Khal Drogo monstering the shit outta that white haired girl! Fool went H.A.M. on it! But I didn't quite know how to feel after reading that her character is supposed to be like 13 years old... |

Haha. Yeah, I feel you.
I really really really can't wait for the new book to come out next month. I'm going to call in sick until I finish reading it.

For real. That molten gold shit was raw as hell! Dude was like "oh I can't spill blood in the sacred city? I got other ways of killing your ass without spilling blood..."
That is one seriously creative killer. Sidenote: Everytime I see Lord Stark, I want to yell FOR GONDOR!!!! Boromir ROCKS. Last edited by simmode1; 06-12-2011 at 11:34 AM.. |

I think I'm going to bust out my book collection and re-read the entire thing over the next couple of weeks in preparation for A Dance with Dragons.
