Game of Thrones

Well, the new series has gone underway and from what I can judge by the first episode, it's going to be good. Like, really good.
I've never read the books so I can't say how the series compares. What I can say however is, that the acting's top-notch and the story has me hooked. I'm very interested in learning more about this world and seeing where this series will go to, having no knowledge about the books what so ever. Although from what I can tell, the Lannisters are bad.

Anyone else seen it yet?

No I havent seen it yet, going to check it out today. This might make me finally start reading the books. They are huge and kinda daunting.

What the heck are you two waiting for? Read the gosh darned series! Sheesh! Best Adult fantasy series ever! Just don't get attached to any one character!
The first episode was pretty damn good. I loved the "White Walkers" look. They need to CGI the wolves a bit later because of their size.
The sucky part is knowing who gets it, how, when and why. It's one thing to read it, but now it's going to be up close and personal.

OK OK I'll pick it up next time I go to the book store! haha

LOL.. dammit, that's why they have Amazon!
um, be prepared for a massive volume though. The reading is very good and it flows well. You don't have to worry about any Robert Jordanist extended descriptions of cloth or tree bark!

Hehe, if I ever get the time to read books unrelated to economics, marketing or other business-related subjects, I promise I will read the series

. For now though, I have a bazillion books kindly asking me to read them, but I have to say no to each one. No time

.

I also liked to look of the White Walkers, whatever the hell they were (I'm thinking some kind of undead/demon/cursed folk, but can't say for sure. And I ain't about to ruin anything by reading about anything from anywhere)

This series looks great... I saw the specials HBO created for each family and even specials on behind the scenes and much more... I love that Sean Bean is the Lead Actor of the series!
