HBO's "Game of Thrones"

[Tenzo]

I was a bit surprised to see there's no thread created for it. I've just finished re-watching the first season(second one is set to be released in April,2012) and i recommend it to all of you. It's a good show. Very solid story and character development.

I go the way of the book. Although the series is on my "To Watch" list.

 

[Tenzo]

After seeing this i think i'm going to read the books when i'll have some spare time.

 

[Mkilbride]

I've read Books 1-4, and seen the first Season.

So far it's been 90% Faithful. Which is HONESTLY more Faithful than I thought it was going to be. Go HBO.

 

[Tenzo]

Well HBO has a reputation for delivering good shows(professional work). So yeah... GG HBO! I'm so pumped up for season 2.

Winter is coming

[Avenger]

Funny vid.

'Bout season 2...same here.. I'm really hooked. The story and acting are top-notch.

 

[Deathshot]

Im just now catching up. Im on episode 2 of Season 2 now.

Spoiler

I didn't see them actually killing Ed Stark like that. But his Son makes such a perfect king. The actor is such an amazing actor. The way he played it in the beginning of Season 2's episode 1 talking to the Lanister like that.

Yes, when I finished the first book, I too, was completely surprised.

Usually I can call an ending or an event. But the ending to Season 1 / The first book completely surprised me. I mean it'd be like Scrubs killing off Dr.Cox in the first season or so.

Poor Sean Bean, man.

I just don't understand how you kill off a Main character like that so easily... Yet I look at Gurren Lagann then think of how it will easily develop the story so perfectly.

 

[Mkilbride]

Yeah.

But at least it kept us surprised. It's not an easy to predict show. There are some moments you can, but quite a few take you by surprise. I really love it because of that. To many books, movies, ect, I'll read and I instantly can tell how it's going to play out.

With this book series, I was kept ever guessing. Maybe due to the PoV changes?

It does such a good job in immersing the viewer into this world. I mean... you even get attached to some of the characters in the process. I really liked Ned Stark's character and i can honestly say that i shed one or two tears(not too many because it's not manly ). I really felt the emontional distress of the story.
And as you guys said... most of the time it's not predictable.

 

[Deathshot]

Indeed. I mean it does keep the story fresh. I am not gonna lie Edward Stark was my favorite Character next to Tyrion but Robb Stark is now my favorite next to Tyrion.

He's been in other movies?

I thought he only did LoTR and the show Game of Thrones. Never seen or heart of him in anything else and I watch a ton of movies, old and new.
