The books are impressive and we're just starting to watch the TV series. I think we missed the first few episodes. I'm hoping they re-run them before they start the 2nd series (I cannot imagine they'd start the series and not continue with the additional books)

IF the series is popular (and I think it is doing well), it will have another season. Right now I'm in love with Khal Drogo and also, *whispers*, the Imp. I can't help it. The Imp's smart-ass attitude is sexy! |

I absolutely LOVE this show! I haven't seen the last couple of weeks, but will catch up on the internet. Would love to read the book.

I am hooked! Christie just got the book. From the looks of it, it is a trilogy?...or series???
I like the Imp too. Is he the same guy from Station Agent? At any rate, I do love his character. He is the only Lannister I like, though! Grrr spit on the rest... |

In addition there are three prequel novellas available, with several more planned, and a series of novellas consisting of excerpts of the main novels. One of these excerpt novellas has won a Hugo Award. The series has been translated into more than 20 languages[1] and the fourth volume reached the top of The New York Times bestseller lists upon its release.[2] Overall, the series has more than 6 million copies in print in the USA[3] and sold more than 7 million worldwide.[4]

It's a series and as a series, it's even more intricate than Tolkein is. I think I need to read from Feast of Crows onwards still..

I love it!!! I want to read the books! I think so far my favorite part was how the Khalise has found her powerful and is becoming "fierce." When they killed her brother I was very happy! He was a douchebag!

Haven't watched the series yet but the books are awesome. I've got to climb up in the attic and get them again.

So far Khaleesi Danrys is the one who has the most interesting character development.
The Imp has the best lines. |

A fan of both the books and the tv series. I've been watching it fairly avidly and think it's been really well done. When they cast Sean Bean as Eddard I wasn't sure at first how closely they'd follow the books. It's cool that they cast such a well-known actor for that role.
Quote:
I also love who they chose to cast Arya Stark and how they've portrayed her true to form. Love how they've done Jon Snow's character, too. For those who haven't/aren't able to catch the series on TV check out Project Free TV: http://www.free-tv-video-online.me/i.../season_1.html Oh and the potlucker links are the best/most reliable, imo, even among the other fast loaders. Btw, just cause I saw it mentioned here, HBO has actually already confirmed the second season and they're going to start production soon last I read. |

I may have just launched into a strong round of f**ity F**k F**k and then shot off two emails to my best friend who is also watching it.
WHAT THE FUCK! Yes. I cursed. I save it for strong emotions. This episode produced really strong emotions in me. Next week is the season finale. |

I just got done watching the latest episode too! I can't believe it! The last scene was really well done and incredibly emotional. Not having read the books, I had no idea what was coming, and was completely shocked. Its going to be FOREVER until the next season. Oh well, at least True Blood is almost here!

LOL! That's what my BFF said as well about True Blood. I'm also ready for season two of HBO's Boardwalk. I got into that show but not like Game of Throne. I'm still reeling and can't wait to see this week's episode. But I'll have to wait until Monday. I'm heading out of town to see my honey. |

I can't wait too! I am definitely going to start reading the books since I will have time between the series.

For me, the final scene in that last episode was incredibly well done. But who was the man who grabbed Arya?
Edited: Yoren. It was Yoren.
