My new favorite show..
SPOILERS BELOW!!!


Basically there's 3 sections of people, the king of the land, the guy that helped the king become king who's up in winterfell, and the old kings family across the water who are joining forces with barbarian types to take the kingdom back

new kings wife is schtupping her brother, guy that helped king become king's son finds said queen and brother doing the deed in a tower, queens brother shoves him off the tower, kid goes into coma (and wakes up when his father kills a wolf, i'm guessing he's "in tune" to the wolves)

former kings son gave his sister (who is SMOKING) to the barbarian leader in marriage so that barbarian will let him utilize his vast army to take the crown back(and said he would let the whole army bang her if it meant becoming king) and barbarian leader bangs it out constantly. sister finally decides to make him happy and gets training from a former concubine

This might end up being one of those series where having read the books would be a great help simply because they can't even come close to covering everything that the books cover.

Honestly, I'd suggest reading at least the first book, I think they're pretty well done. These days you should be able to find it at a pretty decent discount, or even better yet I'm sure the library would have a copy you could get your hands on.

I watched the first 3 episodes and stopped watching. I'm a huge fan of the books, but I think this version is a rare-miss for HBO. Doesn't feel true to the original story, and the flaws in it can't be explained by "we had to condense for the tv show". It's little stuff like...

SPOILERS!!








.. the first time Drogo and Denaerys had sex. Way too rapee and not at all what the scene was like in the book. Or the fact that they're downplaying the wolves when that was a huge part of the series.


The dialogue has also turned me off, honestly. Way too Lord of the Rings cheese factor. I may revisit the series when it's out on dvd and I can download all of them, but for now, I'll stick to the books.

I read the first book when I was in college and really liked it. And, I bought the second book when it came out. But, I got so busy that I never read it! I'm going to have to go back and read the first one again and then start on the second one.

I wasn't that excited by the first three episodes but DH had read the books and urged me to keep watching. It became really interesting after the first three episodes, so I'm glad I stuck with it.

This was filmed in Northern Ireland and several of the scenes were shot at places that are off the beaten track but which we had been to before. Like the first scenes where the army is encamped overnight, that was done along the shores of Strangford Loch. The castle tower they were camped around is one we've climbed up in before to take pictures of the Loch.

Another scene, when they get the news of , was filmed at the ruins of Inch Abby near Downpatrick. Way off the normal tourist paths but a beautiful ruin set along the edge of the River Quoile.

Good show. And now, like for The Walking Dead, the year wait commences for season two.

I just finished watching this a couple weeks ago and it was great! The more I watch, the more I hate Joffrey! Every episode he is in makes me hate him even more. Angry2
