http://www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/index.html Hot shit, first episode this Sunday (9:00-10:05 p.m. ET/PT).
Never read the books, but HBO series tend to be very very good and the series is well regarded in sci/fant so I've been looking forward to it as well.
Indeed looking forward to see how it turns out, I started reading the book but forgot it home at my mom quite a while ago so didn't finish it but it's really good ^^
Watched last nights episodes and it seems to follow the standard American program of the last few years. The true Blood effect i call it where pretty girls have to be naked. men hardly wear shirts and a brit actor in the lead part. Just a few points to make. 1, Why is the king the bloke off the tesco adverts 2, casting talented actors has gone slightly ary from the book in favour of good looking people who ahem put bums on seats. 3, Sean bean has a sword he can hardly lift
Well i was not amazed either but it is still very good entertainment compared to average series out there Not to mention this is only the first episode ^^
