I think I missed half of the 2nd and the whole 3rd seasons.....strange because I actually liked the 1st season.

I just want to see Kalisi and her (ahem) dragons :)

Haha, you them in a few episodes... I forgot what season tho.

If you are going to get into it DO NOT start at season three. You need all of the back story which is amazing!

I hope she has a lesbian scene with the Incest Queen. If she were my sister, incest would definitely be best. It's too bad she won't do her brother anymore just because he only has one hand. She didn't say that's why, but she was just being nice.

Really liked the new episode. The scene with Arya and the Hound was soooo badass.

Arya is turning into a legitimate sociopath. It's interesting to see her progression with the sword and how her reaction to using it was so different from the first time.

On the other hand, the actress is hysterical:

I get so angry when people tell me they start watching this season! The red wedding is one of the craziest scenes in any show. I couldn't believe it (However, this is due to the fact that i don't read anything other than law books. Perhaps I may have seen it coming had i read the books...)

We both read the first one, during the first season, and then I was made to stop because I didn't know where the TV vs. book boundaries were and my wife didn't want me reading ahead of the show. The 2nd book is downstairs, beckoning, along with the boxed set of 3rd and 4th.

Edit: I've been wary of looking up guides on the Internet to "which TV episodes follow which books" because I don't want to pick up any spoilers that way either. Is there a non-spoiler version of a mapping between books and TV seasons somewhere?

Great Series!

When I read the series a few years ago I felt confident there would never be a movie about them as the changes from chapter to chapter were so wild. Fans had to wait so long for closure [I think book five] that some gave up thoughts of continuity. I know someone else that buys lots of books and I will try to get the rest when he discards them. I would like to know what happens with Aria as well.

I found it very interesting with the descriptions of the food in the novel's. Prior, although I'm aware of the spice trade, I'd mostly thought of food as being more boring. It was for the serfs. To go astray from this thread a little, I just finished a book about the history of Codfish, which went back centuries. Interesting enough that we had to go find some fresh wild caught Pacific Cod yesterday and cook some.

MathExtremist, how do you think the TV versus book compares so far? I don't have access at this time to watch but would like to see how an author can take pages describing how to prepare a goose for a meal and how film can just show it and move on with audio and visual and keep the audience interested. I'm assuming the film just shows it and moves on with visuals, typically of young attractive people.

I read the first 4 books and gave up. Every time you would get invested in a character the author would kill them off. Found it too frustrating to continue reading the series and have never read the 5th book. Having said that I enjoyed the writing and world that was created and it's many unique scenerios. Have never seen the series since I don't have HBO.

Well said!

I found I wanted closure on two of the characters. I guess I'm again on a book hunt, our local used book store is great about putting me on a list and calling when one comes in.

This season is getting pretty awesome. Last nights episode was really good. Little finger is nuts and Aria is turning into the most dangerous character in the show. Love it!

It's just not the same if I don't get my weekly dose of the three B's - Boobs, Butts, and Beheadings.

I've read the books, and the portion of the book covered in this season is probably the best. Last three episodes are gonna be doozies.

At the risk of starting a debate( since everyone is perfect), there are lots of sites online where you can stream this for free with no hassles or hoops. If you are a saint(like me) and never do anything wrong, like speed. Then you need to BUY this its good.
