A game of thrones Series

I have been watching it - loving it

Cool. Who's your favourite character?

I think the dwarf is great, gotta love the blonde bird over the narrow sea as well.

It is a very interesting program. Even if you take out the sex and bloody violence!
I don't have a favourite character, but I do like Tyrion Lannister ( the dwarf ) and it will be interesting to see how the Stark children develop, especially Arya Stark and Bran Stark.
Will Khal Drogo and his hoard get over the sea? What of the White Walkers, does the kingdom really need to be afraid?
Only time will tell.

Me and Mrs Guru have been watching it as well. Its excellent!

I been watching it. So has the missus. We both love it.

Fav is the dwarf at the minute. He's portrayed as a bad man but shows glimpses of humanity and compassion. I have a feeling he's gunna come good in the end.

And is it just me but everyone seems to hate eachother? Almost every conversation starts of with an insult or agression, not that it bothers me but everyone is really harsh to eachother...cut throat!

Or you could go out, buy the book and find out a lot sooner...

For those that have read the books, how does it compare?

Its because of the history. Its in the tv series but it might not be the most obvious. Lannisters supported the old king, then switched when they realised they were losing to Robert Baratheon (current king) and Jaimie stabbed the old Targaryen king in the back. So they are not trusted. They are also known to scheme and be ruthless and have the money to get away with it, so general untrust. Ned dislikes them because they had a part in his father and sisters death, or at least didnt do anything to try and stop it happening. The others, they are just scrambling for power, so keep trying to get one up on each other, its all like the king said, its kept in line with fear and blood. Lets face it, the king isnt much of a king.

Very well! Obviously some of the detail is lost but all in its VERY VERY good!

The books are very much worth a read if you have the time or the inclination.

Favorite Character. King Robert.

Looking forward to more of the Dothraki /Targaryan side of the story and what happens with those Dragon eggs.

Dont want to know in advance, spoils it y'no.
( as when my wife said half way into me seeing the film K9 for the first time " The dog dies" . Ughh)
