    Game of Thrones

    Last nights episode was awesome, after reading about it for years, I finally saw a Dwarf hack someone's leg off with a battle ax! Oustanding work HBO, they have brought the books to life and has endeared some of the characters to me more than the books did.

    Here is to my new favorite Scottish Hottie Rose Leslie aka Ygritte!

    Ah dude, I am truly enjoying this series, far more than the Spartacus one ( season 3 was "meh" at best).
    The siege was excellent and yes Tyrion was awesome.
    His scar will give him a new look to say the least !
    I am wondering how his dad is gonna react to the true hero that his "disregarded son" has become.
    Funny how the one that was "written off" has become THE Lannister of all Lanissters.

    Love the show, bummer that there is only one more episode for the season.

    I may just have to pick up the books and find a way to get to reading them!

    Was awesome watching him cleave that leg right off!!

    if finding the time to read is an issue try audio book while you commute or something.

    Spartacus started off really awesome. I loved that show but it has kind of gone down hill, I feel. Game of Thrones, I think, trumps even the first season of Spartacus. I just wish I had shows like these when I was growing up.

    Having not read the books, I'm interested in seeing what Lord Tywin does after swooping in and saving the day. Hopefully he boots his idiot nephew from the throne.

    Lord Tywin, on screen is a much more interesting character, especially with his interactions with Arya. I actually kind of like his character, in the books he's more of a ruthless and I mean ruthless mob boss type. It's all about the family.

    That's the great thing about George RR Martin's writing, even some the most 'evil' or 'noble' characters have intriguing sides and good/bad traits to them. You can't pigeon hole them all as good or evil.

    jamie for instance. i started the series hating that guy, and now in a dance with dragons, hes one of my favorite.

    arya stark is hands down my favorite, jon snow in a close second.

    danny gets a wold all her own.
