    SO EXCITED!!!!!

    If y'all like the TV show you should read the books (if you haven't). Book 2 is quite different (and MUCH better) than season 2 of the show. I'm really hoping they bring it back in line with the books in season 3.

    I just got HBO and watched the first two seasons. I started fast forwarding over the Dragon Mommy scenes (boring subplot).

    I like it better than LOTR, but what's the deal with all the gratuitous sex, always from the male point of view? I could set my watch by it: Every 15 minutes a gorgeous 20-something woman enters the scene and strips.

    REALLY REALLY not a subplot. She's kind of a main character. You might want to go back and watch those.

    The sex is all in the book, so... yeah HBO is known for it, but in this case they're just following what's in the books.

    When my husband first told me to watch the show, I was so disgusted with the first episode, I had no idea what to expect. Now, I LOVE them!!! I can't wait for it to start!!!!!!! :-)

    I think it's partly her dialogue. It's particularly ponderously stupid. The brother was a rip-off of Caligula and the crazy emperor played in Gladiator.

    Oh, and the hair...

    Tyrian is my favourite character by far! But I love Charles Dance as Tywin... Arya is fantastic for her age... Just fantastic acting, fantastic story... Just bloody brilliant!
