I know, I know, the book referenced sex and nudity all the time, but when in the book it may say something like "the men talked and there were breasts" that visually translates to the discussion happening but all you see for the five minutes that the conversation goes on is breasts.

I really hope they continue on the great note they left off on and am looking forward to the beyond-the-wall type arc.


The show is less graphic than the book.

Speaking from ignorance not having read the books I was slightly disappointed that Sean Bean did not run amok with that big bloody sword and nail a few of his enemies, a touch of the Boromir's would have gone down well.

Otherwise super series looking forward to series two.

I just watched the whole first season over two days on HBO On Demand, and loved every minute of it. I was crushed when I saw the "spring 2012" though....but hopefully by then I will have read all the books, which I just loaded onto my Nook Simple Touch.beerchug.gif

Martin deserves to be read (book 5 is also out). Plus the book seems better so far.

Watched the full series in a couple days about a week ago and was thoroughly impressed. Very good show. I thought the finale was lacking energy and drive though. Favorite character is the dancing swordstress with her Needle.

This show turned me on to HBO shows and now I'm about halfway through watching The Wire, also excellent. I have HBO's Rome on my plate after that.

^ The Wire is the absolute pinnacle of television. I envy you watching it for the first time.

Couldn't agree more. That, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Dexter and Riget are probs my favourite shows of all time. Game of Thrones could be another.

I didn't have a problem with the sex scenes in the show, they never felt forced or out of place to myself or my friends.

Only found out they were a problem for people when I read reviews. 

 

The show was amazing, and the story made some pretty brave moves. 

 

Now, I have to decide if I want to buy the books and read them all in a month or wait for the TV series to renew and try to avoid seven books worth of spoilers over the next few years :\ .

Seems so clear cut when I type it out, but in reality i'm most likely going to wait for the show. It is just done so **** well.

Time to resurrect this thread! I haven't anticipated a season 2 as much as this one in awhile! Can't wait!

I can't wait for this to start up again. Some of the most ridiculous (in a good way) TV I've ever seen. I'm still upset I missed the panel for this at Comic-Con.
