Game of Thrones (spoilers)

[killersheep]

So I finished the first book and started the second. I'd say they're doing a great job of condensing the story while staying true to the feel. My wife is doing a pretty good job of keeping up with the characters and locales, and she usually doesn't go for this kind of story.

Can't wait to see the rest - do you think they'll finish the first book with season one?

Supposedly it's a one book per season ratio.

Solid. I don't think I'm giving anything away when I say everything has been just setup to this point.

I was wondering how they'd show the Vale. CGI all to hell but that's to be expected with a TV budget. In the books its amazing, at the very tip of this huge mountain and there are little castles all the way up the mountain. And it makes you realize there's absolutely no way for an invading army to really capture it.

At first I thought they made Catelyn's sister and her son a bit too creepy. But in retrospect, not really. He was a 7 year old breast feeding in the books too.

And oh yeah I wasn't sure about the actor playing Littlefinger at first but I like him now.

Its great, most shows have the one ultra devious sneaky character and here you have loads, but especially two great ones, Varys and Littlefinger.

I still havent made my mind up on the traitor over the sea Ser Jorah Mormont. I don't know if he's good or bad yet. I'm hoping he turns out to be awesome, like an exiled Lancelot but my hopes are nott high.

Loving this series though, may well start the book tonight.

Now you all are making me feel like I absolutely have to download these episodes/read the books, really.

I don't think I've ever been this addicted to a show before. I'm counting the days until episode 6. I haven't really been participating in this thread because I'm afraid to come across some spoilers. Are there any in here?

I've decided I'm going to buy the books too. I was going to just take them out of the library, but as of this moment I would be 68th in line
