    Season 1 was incredible. Season 2 overall was a disappointment. I felt like I was watching a medieval version of Lost. Too many characters, plot lines, etc. I hope Season 3 is better.

    You really thought so? I think people who haven't read the books might have that viewpoint. You're right, there are TONS of characters and it is hard to keep up. I definitely suggest reading the books. I'm more excited about Season 3 than any other show I've ever watched...the 3rd book is hands-down my all-time favorite, I hope you enjoy it!

    The problem was that Season 2 was more of a mash-up of books 2 and 3, whereas Season 1 was just Book 1. So the plot lines progressed normally in Season 1...season 2 was a bit chaotic at times.

    yes, my buddy who recommended the show to me had the same opinion, that he may have enjoyed it more than me since he read the books and I haven't.

    Having watched season 1, then having and read all 5 books before season 2, I'd definitely have to back Mamasan.... knowing who all the characters are makes it so much more enjoyable.

    Martin's character development in the books is huge, and doesn't translate to season 2 like it did for Ned Stark in season 1 as HBO just doesn't have the time to develop all the important characters unfortunately....
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    Well excuse me. Sorry. I don't watch this show so I don't read this thread. I saw an article about this and knew people here watched the show so I thought I'd pass it along. I will never do that again. Sorry.
