Well it's a story about a f*cking war for a throne, the least you can expect are some good fighting scenes.

I'd ten times rather say it's a story about policy and intrigue.

I think you mean politics and intrigue. Agreed, but I still think that they atleast should put some good fighting scenes. I want to see the ''noble'' and ''brave'' men in combat.

Anyways, now we need to wait months before until season 2 comes out

Can't wait until next season.

Seriously? I thought it was sick, especially the ending. The production quality of this show is astounding.

And yeah, anyone know if an air date for the second season is scheduled yet?

Yea, it was good. I was just hoping for more progression on the Lannister Stark conflict.

Never really cared much for the Khalessi.

Lol, you'll be waiting a long time, the series is currently 4 books long, with a 5th coming out soon.

"...and for the first time in hundreds of years, the night came alive with the music of dragons."

how could you be disappointed by that. Having recently read the book seeing certain scenes like the dragon one have more meaning when you have more details about them. Like Robb being given a title that no man has had in over 300 years and the gravity of what it means to hear both Stannis and Renly declare for the throne.

i only wish they had a better actress to play dany...

Good idea, then you'll see why I used 'policy' instead of 'politics'. I think, it's hard to understand the storyline without having additional information from the books or wiki.

Well MrJoey, it seems the show is a pretty accurate tale of the story in the books

I might just have to buy them all :sohappy:

MrJoey · **Posted:** Wed Jun 22, 2011 1:32 am

From what I understand, the series actually has to leave quite a bit out, understandable because the books are very long, and there's just no way to fit them into 10 episodes.

woutR · **Posted:** Wed Jun 22, 2011 8:08 pm

so they skipped the epic fight scenes to make more room for the intricacies of the story?!

I was curious about this, especially after reading this thread, so I decided to check it out. Just finished watching the first episode and I'm really liking it, even though I'm not a big fan of this kind of fiction.

I didn't like the ending, though. The Queen's brother is such an idiot. Also, he looks like Prince Charming from Shrek, an idiot as well.

But to me, the prize of the most-annoying-character-ever contest goes to..

Spoiler!

Seriously. He did absolutely nothing, but you can tell from the first time he's totally annoying.

I listen to audio books all day at work. I've gone through over a hundred since January and there was nothing left to listen to. I think I finally found it. I just finished series 1 and there's no way in hell that I will wait for Spring 2012.

[SD]Twysta · **Posted:** Fri Jul 01, 2011 9:28 pm

Audio books? :o

Is that stuff good? Do you get an actual person that reads the book out to you or some computer voice?

MrJoey · **Posted:** Fri Jul 01, 2011 11:21 pm

Audio books usually have some specific person that's paid to read them. I hear some of them are done by pretty famous people.

XemnasXD · **Posted:** Sat Jul 02, 2011 5:37 am

I finished reading all the books. Its amazing. I heard A Dance with Dragons leaked so i'd be careful if you guys visit any HxC game of thrones sites or even 4chan. You might get spoiled big time.

I swear to god i will lead a riot if it takes him another six years to finish "The Winds of Winter" especially seeing as it took 6 years from AFFC to ADWD and they're two halves of the same book.
