First episode got my attention real quick.

Second episode was a little hohum but still pretty good.

My favorite Character so far, King Robert Baratheon tied with Tyrion Lannister

Second favorite - Daenerys Targaryen

.

There's a lot to build up to.
Tyrion is also one of my favorites and amazingly The Hound as well.

Tyrion is definitely the best character out of the whole series. Arya is a favorite as well, though she's obviously not gotten much development yet in the show. The Hound is a bastard, but he grows on you.

Don't know if I will like it as the preview didn't really capture my imagination. Will watch the first ep to see if its any good.

I have never read the books. I just saw the preview because I have free HBO for weekend. I thought it looked pretty good, might even have to order the channel because of that and other shows. We'll see, definetly going to watch Sunday.

I love the books. I was a little worried about this aswell because whenever I read a book then see a movie or show based on it I am usualy let down.

But I have watched the making of videos that have been made and the fact that the writer is pretty involved I have high hopes. I can't wait for this to start.

I meant that they tried a TV series, it was called The Legend of the Seeker.
It lasted two seasons as it got so far off track from the books that it was just way different.

Brutus2600 · 04-16-2011, 10:28 PM

Oooooh yeah...I heard about the series and never watched it. It sounded awful.

Humpdebump · 04-17-2011, 09:32 PM

Just watched it and thought it was pretty good. First ones are always kinda slow but this one kept my interest and with the coming attractions it definetly looks good.

I honestly think it was well done. But as someone who hasn't read the books, I wish they could have explained the overview of the kingdom just a bit, maybe through narration.

I am a big SoT fan. The show was entertaining from a TV aspect, from someone who read the series, the show was complete and utter drivel. I had to tell myself that this was purely for entertainment and in no way was trying to emulate the books, otherwise I would get angry.

Brutus2600 · 04-18-2011, 09:58 AM

Watched the premier last night and within the first 2 minutes I was so excited how closely they were sticking to the book and how well they translated those scenes into the show. I do agree though that there is some basic background that's covered in the book during the scenes that if I was watching it for the first time I would've been a little lost, but having read the series it was almost like going back and reading it again it was so well done.

So not to spoil any of it for people who haven't seen it or read the books, but so far I'm VERY impressed with the recreation of the scenes, every actor and actress matches their character in the book insanely well, and of course thank you HBO for making a great show with graphic nudity and violence. If they had taken that out it wouldn't have felt like the same story!

It had a pretty high breast per minute count!

Have not watched it yet, but I don' think anything will come close to Spartacus series, full frontals (male as well) and all.

How can someone who has never read the books get into what's going on? Is just diving in and letting it happen going to be sufficient enough to get up to speed on the story?

Yup, it's all explained eventually

Just started reading it on mine. Its great so far.

First episode was pretty good. I highly doubt I will ever read the books, so this series will be my one and only reference to them.

To everyone who knows the books, please be careful with the spoilers as the tv series unfolds...(not that you guys aren't, just wanted to reiterate that there are plenty of us out here who haven't and won't read the books)

blugill · 04-23-2011, 07:55 AM

After the debut episode HBO has signed on to produce the second book Clash with Kings!

How cool is that?!
