I don't see why it was "stupid as fuck." It may not have been action filled, but it followed the book for the most part. Some scenes did seem unnecessarily long i.e., the scene with the whore.

Just seems like they didn't use their time wisely. Spending time on, in my opinion, worthless things when they could have spent more time on others.

It felt well paced and interesting. Nicely sets up for the next season too. Looking forward to it!

Ned actually dies? F this show. I'll find better titties to watch.

Just finished. Good series! I'm not familiar with the books, but maybe I should give them a try.

The books are great until book 4, which was a complete POS in my opinion. Very scattered, no point to it really, and it skipped several of the major story arcs from books 1 2 and 3. I won't spoil it for anyone, but once you read the first three books, I know you'll agree that the 4th seems a lot poorer. Oh well, I hope the 5th which is out in a few weeks makes up for it. Dragons!!

Spoiler:

He isn't the first, and he is far from the last. IIRC, I think something like 80% of the characters in Game of Thrones don't make it to book 4

Just an update for fans of the series, the fifth book comes out tomorrow:

So stoked for the book! I finished book 4 last tuesday.

[colsankey]

Got my kindle charged and I'll leave it on my desk for the pre-purchases download to start!

Looks like i'll have to pick that up soon. Almost done the 4th book. I usually don't read very much at all, but after i started watching the series, I wanted to know what happened next haha.

[Vagabond142]

I completely forgot that the book comes out tomorrow o_O I'm still halfway through book 4 D:

If your pre order of the 5th book never showed up yet you can start with this

If this is about the TV series: its amazing. I just checked it out and got caught up on it. Spectacular show/first season (it's like my dream show) I never miss the opening credit sequence for each episode even, I luv the music and the map. I can't believe (if you're new to the series like I was SPOILER COMING)...

Spoiler:

... Edaard Stark and Khal Drogo were killed off. THEY WERE MY TWO FAVOURITE CHARACTERS!! Stark was #1. Noble, honourable men amongst all the shit! But I love how they were established and developed and you sense that they could be the sparks of hope & truth that can burn down the evil, then BOOM and BOOM --- the old lore, tradition, honour, and ways carried by these two characters was tremendous and so deep, which is part of why i liked them as characters in the story... and yet they are taken out. You book boys can probably tell me everything, but no thanks i'm here as a "TV miniseries" person as the thread title specifies.

I hope this doesn't turn into a kids & teens series with all of them running around. Not sure how they will keep season 2 as awesome, but I am very intrigued and looking forward to more awesomeness FOR DAMNED SURE.

Read Tyrion's chapter waiting for my ride after my service appointment, got me pretty pumped about the book.

They didn't have the ebook on the iTunes store... =(

But I obtained a copy, and am loving it!
