Game of Thrones...

So, we're about to wrap up Season 2 of a most excellent series. Not too many series draw me in, but this one most certainly did. It pains me to think we're going to have to wait almost another year for Season 3.

Excellent story line...full of twists, turns, and surprises. Very good character portrayals by the cast. Well worth watching IMHO.

I gotta read the books because I can't understand how all of a sudden, The Hound just decides that killing isn't his bag anymore and decides to high-tail it to more pleasant climes. Bitch.

As for season 1 being better than 2, it's a series. Sure there was too much build up but I think it came together nicely in the end. Holy shit, as fine and sexy as Danaerys is, I was SICK AND TIRED of her and her storyline. LOL!

Awesome series, season 2 seemed to go by way to fast. At least true blood and curb your enthusiasm will be on soon to hold me over till walking dead, then back to GoT lol.

Also the hound hasnt lost his taste for killing, he just has a fear of fire ever since his brother(the mountain) burned his face half way off when he was a kid.

fire is the hounds achilles heel, he's had enough of it since his brother, the mountain, shoved his face into hot embers as a child, all over a toy. he saw the wildfire and something just clicked off. shows the depth of characters that GRRM creates. read the books. i did years ago and am still convinced he's the modern day tolkien. check out the wiki of ice and fire, gives you histories of the houses going back even before Aegon the conquerer

you figure they gave movie level budget to Band of Brothers, they might need to do the same here.

Yes, the budget can be a problem at times, i had to smile at the "cast of dozens" during the assault scenes...

if you fine folks dont want to wait till next season, pick up "A Storm of Swords" 3rd book in the "A song of Ice and fire" series. but try to read the first 2, theres so much you miss. technically i trolled there, but i'm happy to promote the greatest writer of our modern time. enjoy.....

I mentioned that very same thing in a post episode discussion. It'll be interesting to see where "The Hound" ends up in Season 3 after his "Fuck the King" statement, yes?

I am beginning to see the validity here my friend. I've been reading Tolkien since 1969. What sets a "master apart from simply an author (IMO) is one that can create "worlds". Tolkien, Herbert, and Asimov pulled it off. Martin has certainly captured my attention.

its amusing, in the book he says "Bugger the kings hand, and bugger the king" thanks hbo for toning it down, ha!

And to throw another "wrench" into the werx...Seamaiden, myself, and the kids have had more than a few discussions about "where" this story transpires. I'm of the opinion that this story doesn't take place on "Sol 3"...Why? Winters and summers that last for years on end. That leads me to suspect a hotter star and a planet in a much wider orbit.
