For both the sake of those who haven't read the books and those who are DVR'ing episodes to watch later, please make liberal use of spoiler tags.

Since this is obviously so popular, could we have episode divided threads?

 

Just a thought?

Here are two little surprises. While I was getting dressed for work this morning I had CNN on the TV, they actually ran a segment on how shocked viewers were and what a unexpected twist this was. Then on the way to work they were actually taking calls about it on the radio on WEGR. I guess it is a pretty poular show after all. A lot of folks said they were never watching again but I said the same thing after I read that part in Book 1 and again after you-know-what in Book 3. But here I am ready and waiting for book 5.

Just weeding out the weak :D

 

The marketing behind GoT was crazy, they had giant screens and food trucks in LA and NY with extensive press kits, trailers and internet presence.

He was defending his companion, Sean Bean is a man of honor :p

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

I love the way magic is presented in this series, the scene in the tent with the horse was funny and spooky at the same time.

 

As for Mr. Dinklage, if he doesn't win a brace of awards for his performance as Tyrion then I'll get all huffy and upset.

Not to mention the fact that, at 52, he's spending his nights out drinking with a 22-year-old model.

I though it was rather corny compared to how it was portrayed in the book.

 

In any case, if that kind of magicky stuff works for you, you'll love the rest of the series.
