HBO

HBO released the first fifteen minutes as a sneak peek.

Boromir returns!!!

God bless HBO for making these shows that are carving the way past the popcorn cookie cutter garbage that 90% of television is stuffed with...

Hopefully they make it a decent series and not one of those tiny 6 or 8 episode ones.... Just when you really get to love i,t you have to wait a year for Season 2...

[Dizaster]

I just watched the first 15 minute preview and I think it looks awesome....

Even if there isn't that much action but just lots of talking and scenery and mood and stuff, that would be great.... A bit like Deadwood... It just puts you right in that old settler town and not an incredible lot goes on, but it just puts you right there...

I can see myself absolutely loving this show....


When does it start?

[OumaFan]

April 17 here, I don't know if it will come to Australian TV but obviously you can download it. The first season will be ten episodes.

There maybe won't be all out action every episode but there will be a shitload of stuff going on, lots of different storylines.

Just watched the first episode. Terrific start, looks like it's going to be a fanastic show.

How many books are there Ouma? Really likeing the look of this so far..

[OumaFan]

4, and the fifth is finally supposedly about to come out. Long ones, 800-1000 pages but their a breeze to read.

I still haven't seen it After all the waiting. Finally, tonight I'm back to civilization and can download it.

OumaFan is a definite fan of incest

Seriously though this is going to be a great show!! I loved the first episode. I will probably get around to reading the books someday, but my queue to read is so long as is.

[OumaFan]

I liked it. Stayed very close to the book which is fine by me. I assumed they'd have the cliffhanger ending and they did.

The guy who plays Viserys, Dany's brother, was very good. So was Cersei.

The good thing is HBO apparently seems fine with the budget for the show. That was the main problem with Rome.

I've just watched the first two episodes today and I'm totally hooked. I'll watch the remainder tomorrow and get into the discussion then.

I already think I can see a bunch of things coming, but hopefully there are some good surprises in store too.

[Kev]

Well this was a mother fuckingly stonking good episode.

One of the best hours of tv I've I've ever seen.

I love the brutality of it it all, Tyrian smashing that hill wairrors face in with a shield, the Hounds brother hacking off his horses head, Jiame stabbing Ned guard through the eye!

What an epic epic episode that was.........

And the dragon skull. How cool was that!

[Spicoli]

Fuckin hell....didn't see that coming! Never put your faith in a blond haired mommas boy with a bowl hair cut

[OumaFan]

If anything that just shows no one is safe in this series.

I was worried the whole time that they wouldn't do it.
