I'm one of the few who couldn't make it through the first book. Too perverted and depressing for me. I felt awkward the whole time.

Did anybody see the premier?

I thought it was quite good, all things considered. Relative to other fantasy to film adaptations, it was very true to the book. In fact, I picked up on subplots I'm not entirely sure were well presented in the books (which explained a few questions I've had).

Oh the pilot is out? And it wasn't utter crap?

I checked it out, seems like a fun show.

Though I hate having to remember so many characters. Though, I guess you could just break it up into families and be set.

Favourite part, summarized:

"Congratulations on the marriage, have this box of snakes."

But really, never read the books, know absolutely nothing of them - loved the first episode.

So how many episodes have there been yet? I thought it was only the pilot last month...

It was a 10 episode season and we saw the finale last night. Season 2 is already gearing up. This one was really well done, I can't wait for it.

My biggest concern at this point is that there's no way he'll have more than 5 or 6 books finished even if they were to do a season each year. Either we won't finish it or we'll have a gap and have to decide whether to recast everybody.

If anybody has interest in reading the books, Amazon has a decent deal going for the first 4: http://www.amazon.com/George-Martins...dp/0345529057/

The 5th is out in a month.

Vampyr · 06-20-2011, 02:53 PM

Well 5th is already done, so he has about 4 years to finish book six. He might make it, and for all we know he has some work done on six and seven already. So...there's a chance he could finish the series before the show catches up.

If not it will either have to go on hiatus or maybe he'll work with them to finish the show first. :\

The third book might be two seasons because it's effing massive. That's what I heard, anyways.

I love this show, for one, because it is so well thought out. Example: In the first episode Ned takes the head of an innocent man, only to have his head taken as an innocent man in the 9th episode
