    Thumbs up Game of Thrones

    Anyone else check this out..? Not bad at all. I could see getting into it. I've read those that got to screen the whole season said Ep1 was the weakest one cause it had to tackle introducing a lot of the cast...

    I think the dwarf is going to steal the show.

    Here is a helpful viewers guide.

    I purchased the first book last night on my Nook - pretty interesting so far.

    I read these books a few years ago. One of the best fantasy/war series ever written in my opinion. There are a LOT of characters so if you dont like chapters titled with character names, might not be for you. This is adult fantasy so much much darker than harry potter fantasy.

    I went through that non-spoiler wiki to get familiar with the characters... It helped make sense of the first Episode quite well... A little background on the characters and the history, as well as figuring out the factions and who's with who (at least in name) and its really not THAT complicated..

    I really want to see this, but don't have HBO and don't plan on buying it just for this. I will probably wait until it comes out on netflix. I plan to have the books read by then.

    It is getting a lot of buzz though... sounds like they did a great job with the show, unlike how Legend of the Seeker got totally screwed up.

    Ep 2 moved along very well, although I found it a little disjointed when they switch scenes, like maybe they had to cut some fluff scenes that helped tie edits together.. Hard to follow the changing locations.. They kinda gloss over that a month or more may pass between episodes/scenes... Still liking it tho..

    I am reading the book at the same time so I know the story but I agree Michelle had to ask a few questions as it went. It's pretty true to the book so far (out of order in a couple areas only).
