Three episodes in, and this show is simply amazing. It's been a while since any new shows really got my attention, but this and AMC's The Killing are both excellent.
Really like the show but too many cliche's. Typical naive good guys and typical devious bad guys. Classic theater. The bad guys get away with horrendous evil for most of the show so that the audience has no problem with the good guys finally killing them in the end.
Hehe, just you wait. George R.R. Martin is a good writer, and trust me, cliche doesn't enter into it. Juuuust wait.
But aren't the writers of the TV series, D.B. Weiss and David Benioff?
Working with Martin's material, yes. He wrote the novels the show is based off of.
Sounds like something I should read. Where should I start? Would this be a good way to go?

Yep, and that's a great price too. Those are the 4 he has so far. Another one is coming out in July. This season is basically book 1.
Some guys don't just play a bad ass on TV. They are in real life.

dude... that's like Chuck Norris level type ****!
btw, anyone who didn't stick it out through the first four episodes of Thrones (and i don't blame if you didn't) is gonna want to watch this when it hits DVD. The show has become flat out awesome.
LOL. That is what I thought.
By the way.....anybody who is not watching this show has no idea what they are missing. Also, last episodes ending was a down right shocker. I had no clue that was coming. I had never read the stories so I had no clue.
I was in shock.
I knew... which didn't take away from the moment. LOVED they went there and from what I saw with that character throughout, it stayed true to who he was. he's a bitch... he's got no honor and it was perfectly in line with his character. Right now i'm writing the story for the season finale of the show I'm working on and the thing that I LOVE writing stories is leading an audience one way and then cutting the legs out from under them... especially if it can be justified with what's been set up. if they just went straight with the pardon, that's what everyone's expecting and it doesn't really move the story forward whereas doing what they did completely spins the story in a different direction. really a brilliant piece of writing and one I can only hope to emulate with the show i'm working on.
I think the credit needs to go to the writer that actually wrote it...you know, George R.R. Martin, the author. You make it sound like the show writers came up with it. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were one yourself

stout, I know these are books which is why I gave credit to the writer, saying nowhere that it was the TV writing staff that was responsible for it.
I figured, which is why I used a smilie. I just had to point that out, because you said 'they' when you referenced the writing. I was thinking, 'no, 'he'...
Hey, when's Necessary Roughness coming on? I'm going to check it out, even though I find that actress extremely annoying--all because of that incredibly annoying character she played on Rescue Me. Still, I'm sending good vibes for your show.
june 29th!
it's the perfect relationship show... women will love it because it's a female lead and therapy/feelings and guys will like it because there's football in it.
oh... and i didn't know how they were gonna top last weeks' penultimate episode... then they unleash hot naked women holding dragons... well done Thrones... well done indeed.
That was just awesome. Really awesome.
One of the best season ending episodes I've ever seen.
Holy crap the season needs to be longer. They better have a longer season. This show rocks. Any idea when this returns? I didn't see anything.
