    Didn't realise there was a thread on this! :)

    I've been a fan of the books prior to the origination of this adaptation. They're great page-turners...amazing characterisation and a strong plot, with plenty of twists. Thrilling read.

    The TV show looks like being a success, as well. From HBO what else would you expect?

    Two guys at work have been pestering me to watch this, insisting that I'd enjoy it. Where can I watch it online?

    Heh, fans of his books have been waiting for his follow-up novel for ten years. With half a book to show for it. Waiting a year is nothin'.

    Seen 2 episodes of this so far. Lost interest after it. Seemed like the story was dragging on.

    Does it get any better or what?

    It does start a little slowly I grant you, but this is because it is setting the scene and introducng characters etc... as the series goes on & the familiarity with the differing families etc increases, so the pace picks up quite considerably.

    Do yourself a favour & watch a few more episodes. You'll be hooked like the rest of us. Twists and turns aplenty.

    Having read it and knowing what was coming in this weeks episode, it's been really interesting to watch the reactions.

    Mostly a chorus of WHAT THE *?!?!?!

    They would be stupid, too many great characters to miss out on, the little lannister is a standout, i like sean bean but he never carried the show, just one of many great actors

    :50: 100% agree.

    It is such a great ensemble cast, and seeing the characters develop as they come into their own, especially Tyrian Lannister, Arya Stark & (Khaleesi) Dainerys Targeryan.
