Tommen is a better Lannister with Baratheon under his name as well.

The Boy King is not much a threat to the Imp but the Queen. They really hate each other. I can't wait to see how it'll turn out.

Bought a value pack consist of the first and third book for $13. Seems a great value when my sisters take interest of the series when they read the books. Just in time for the start of the series on HBO Asia next month.

^US$13?

Please do yourself a favor and DON'T watch it on HBO Asia. It'll be censored.

It seems Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) has been nominated for Emmy outstanding supporting performance . I hope he will win it. He deserved it

because of this stupid thread..
i have to dl all ten series. and finish them in three days... weekend..
damn.... every eps give u a new story line.... u cant even predict the whole series..... ppl that u think will last till the end... dies in the next series... those who u think will end up sh1t... had become the king... hahahahaha...

should i wait for season 2 or read the books?
anyone with the ebook link.. can just pm me....
thanks

Damn, no Sean Bean...

how compared between this series and merlin?

i like merlin through. Will it suit to my taste? (medieval fantasy)

i cannot tahan waiting for season 2 already, so i started reading the book, it is BRILLIANT!

link (epub format):

"because of this stupid thread.." <--- lol no one forced you to click

"u cant even predict the whole series..... " <--- That's what makes it so appealing. Predictable shows are boring

The books are way better because the content is obviously more. There's only so much they can fit into 10 episodes.

yes, if they fit everything in the series, it won't be so few episodes, there are so many characters in the books that didn't come out in the series, it'll be more than 40 ep (even 50 ep) for season 1 if they fit everything in. but i think they really did a great job capturing the essence of the book but not screwing it up by changing too much stuff, the series really kept the originality of the book in some way, even (most of) the script was brought over and that's a huge plus for me

and once u started reading, u can't stop! pull me out of my chair NOW!!!

Both series takes place in a medieval settings but that's where the similarity ends. GoT's content is a lot more mature, grittier and even disturbing than arthurian setting. It's more a political drama than it is about magic and action. But that's not to say the series is lacking any of those elements, far from it, when it does showcase those elements the end product tends to be a sight to behold imo. If you like complex characters, elaborated yet twisted plots, then you'll find GoT irresistible. To top that off, it also boasts a cast of brilliant actors, captivating dialogues and authentic set designs. Give the pilot a go and take it from there.

and u'll keep watching and watching until u finish the entire season, then bites your teeth because u'll want MORE!

i got damn addicted to this show. and now i cant stop reading the book. George R.R. Martin sure knows how to write it better and better.

when i first watched the show, i cried when Eddark Stark was beheaded (i love all Starks).

cant wait for the next season!

LOL....
only can blame myself for clicking this thread. haha
thanks for the link, will dl and do some readings...

2012 for 2nd season? war of the five kings....

IMO, Sean Bean's performance are so so only, kinda disappointed with him
other character's performance a way much better than him, my fav is the Imp and the queen, they really bring out the characters from the book, even added some extra touch

yeah, Sean Bean is kinda plain, but the kids are GREAT! especially Arya

got what u're saying! the other char was well done.
Eddark Stark was fairly easy for Sean Bean actually.
Anyways, still cried when Eddard beheaded
(i always cry when they were wrongly assaulted/punish/set up, yeah yeah dont start about it, im a sucker for these roles XD)

And i agree. Arya Stark was superbly good. I missed the sword dancing teacher..
Cant wait to see the next season, especially arya, bran and Jorah mermont and the three dragons!

I have tears in my eyes a few times while reading the books.
There are a few tearjerkers ahead.

I can't understand why they even bother showing GoT on Astro...

People watching on Astro will miss out on a lot of important moments

juz finished watching season 1...awesome
