Game of Thrones

Golfing with my oldest son the other day and I mentioned the show, asking him if he had seen any of the episodes yet. I knew he had read the books, but I should have said "DON'T SPOIL ANYTHING".

Too late. He blurted out several things before I could stop him. Not that it really ruins the show for me, but you rarely get that truly anxious feeling while watching anything these days, it's all so predictable.

I may know more than I wanted, but I'm still going to enjoy this. So far it's been dang good TV, even if I have to watch it alone because my wife thinks it's ****ography disguised as Dungeons and Dragons.

Silly auto-modding on those 4 letters IMHO.

Without spoiling anything it would appear that George Martin isn't fond of his "main" characters.

I carefully stayed away from this thread until I was caught up on the season. What an incredible series! Generally, this isn't a genre I gravitate toward, but since it was being done on HBO, I gave it a shot and am glad I did. Same thing goes for True Blood. HBO consistently has the best shows on television, IMHO.

And thanks to all who have read the books and have refrained from giving any spoilers.
