    Thought episode 4 was solid. Hard to think we are almost half way through. I should be starting the first book by this weekend to catch up, all the spoilers in the thread are hard not to read.

    Syrio was great, the whole water dance scene was great.

    The only down spot for me so far is Lena Heady, I don't think she is like the Cersei I imagined. We will see, maybe as the season goes on I will see here fit more comfortably in the role.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    Have there been 4 episodes?


    I thought there was only three.... but I could be mistaken.

    I was disappointed with Lena at first but after this last episode I think she will do well. I can't wait to see more.

    I really like the little girl playing Arya. She is doing a splendid job. Syrio is nothing like I imagined but it was a great scene and a good end to the episode.

    I was thinking the whole way through, where's Dany? I was happy we finally got to see her and the whole act that followed. I am liking that actress and I think she fits perfectly.

    seems to be paced similarly to boardwalk so far... lots of character building... just setting up all this future power struggle and backstabbing

    it always leaves me wanting more! makes me wish i had waited til the end of the season to watch it all at once

    START FIGHTING ALREADY :x

    I've not watched any yet. I'm gonna save a few up as I know once I start watching I will want to keep on watching. Hate having to wait a week to find out what happens next.

    As nice as that sounds, there's no way I could even wait. I was thinking about doing it too. Too impatient to see it all here.

    Finally watched the newest episode last night and really liked it. I love all the talk about the winter coming. I only have 200 pages left in the book I am reading and then I am going to try to plow through the books.

    I know they're trying really hard but it feels so much more ominous in the books, Winter is Coming. In the series it seems important but, it doesn't feel so important. As the episodes progress they are emphasizing it more to help that I think.

    I like the HBO series, but I'm missing the direwolves. Shaggydog, Ghost and Grey Wind haven't made an appearance (besides the very first scene where they were picked up as pups), and Summer hasn't even been named yet. Though I did think the scenes with Lady and Nymeria were handled well. I was just wondering where they were, since there are a couple plot lines coming up that heavily involve the wolves (I think this is too vague to be a spoiler).

    I am just starting the first book, but based on the full grown one in the first episode, I was wondeing how they are going to do the wolves as they grow. CGI maybe?

    I was wondering that as well. Maybe they'll go CGI, or maybe they'll use clever filming angles. Or they could just use really big dogs :lol:

    Very addictive! i was so bummed when I read the first few and found out there were only 4 and the last one hadn't been released on schedule for at least a year or so. I had given up on it until I heard about this series! I love it!

    So we know that the second season is a "go".
    I'm just curious as to how many episodes are in this season, and is this season going to encompass the entire first book? I never read the books...

    Also, with the immediate success of the show, could it be assumed that all 4 books will eventually get translated to the show? To me, I would think they'd have to. It's not like the ratings will drop dependent on poor writing, etc. if all 4 books are just a series of one long story.
    Also, does anyone know how much of the book(s) they have filmed?

    Also, could we not put spoilers in white text? Believe it or not, you can still see the text without dragging over it with the mouse. If you guys want to talk about the books, spoilers, etc., could someone just make a separate thread?
