Jay Funk Dawg Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Anyone else watching this? It took awhile to get rolling, but I'm really enjoying this one! I'm only 2/3 way through the first season so far... these last couple of episodes look like they are going to be exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunkyb Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Epic! Love it, can't wait for 2nd season. I read the first book while in Cali over the past couple weeks. It gets crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I've been watching/reading too and I'm hooked. The only thing is, I can't help but wonder how maniacal the writer must be. I guess any fantasy writer for that matter. I picture his room resembling that of Russel Crowe's character in "A Beautiful Mind". Seriously though, how the crap could anyone keep track of such a world? I'm amazed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 i'm trying not to think about season 2 otherwise time would slow down. such a fantastic end to a great first season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagochips Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Tell me about it. I just finished reading Book Five so I'll have to wait a few years for my next fix. It was Season One that got me reading the books. They were the first fantasy novels I have read since leaving my teen years behind way back in the 1870's.

bouche Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 what I don't understand about this phenomenon of watching GoT and then reading the books, which I hear alot about, is the fact that you know what is coming up. basically spoilers in the show would ruin the story...no?

skelter Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I read the book just before I watched the TV show. What amazes me is the HBO was getting a ton of credit for being so bold with Ned Stark, like it was their decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Funk Dawg Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Saw the season closer tonight, so many great twists! looking forward to the dragons and white walkers in Season 2. Now I gotta find another good series to watch, any suggestions? p.s. that Steve Job's book was great. But what genius asshole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Downton Abbey. Have heard great things about it. BBC series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Apparently there will be some subtle changes to the HBO story coming up. (According to something I read a while ago exactly what, I dunno.)But after reading the books, I'd like to see how some of the scenes will be put on screen.Beyond the Wall in season two should be (hopefully) breathtaking.And, can't wait for Season 3 and the "Red Wedding" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get to go inside the heads of the various main characters and learn a lot about how they think. It's how I came to root for Tyrion. The next four books, all 1000 pages or more, will be years in the making before they become a television series. And there is always the possibility that the TV show will end up being cancelled/delayed indefinitely due to cost overruns, like Carnivale & Mad Men.I didn't want to wait to get my next fix.

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 And, can't wait for Season 3 and the "Red Wedding" Shhhhhhh! Finished book 5 last summer, now re-reading no. 2. Quite right, they are going to be making changes in the show that will no doubt be interesting in their own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdness Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Who wants to do a "separated at birth" photoshop of this guy and Sloth??? Haven't watched the show yet--is this guy a midget by chance? If so, even better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSloth Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 It's a whole new world of role play for me now. I'm pretty sure I owe Mel something and a Lannister always pays his debts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
