As a character I had tons of respect for Ned Stark but dear God he is f**king naive! How he is going about his business is akin to sticking to fighting with swords while your enemies lock and load their AK47's and you refuse to change because of honour and all that which is valiant but how long before that gets your ass killed? Incredibly frustrating to watch him get chumped week in week out :laugh:

Gotta wait a week longer now for the eighth episode, gonna feel like ages.

This ep was just bloody brilliant. What's the guys name who swore to Kat that he'd help Ned?

That's Lord Petyr (Littlefinger).

I suspect episode 8 will be on advance preview on HBO GO next week as well.

I feel HBO might be shooting themselves in the feet previewing episodes like that...ratings were down this week and I bet next week as well...this ruined Dexter's ratings as well when they sent those tv critics episodes in advance and they inevitably get leaked.

I've been reading the book, staying ahead of the TV episodes. I loved how the TV version did the "gold crown for a king" sequence. Brilliant stuff.

I'm getting a lot of people at work that are enjoying the show, which is good. This deserves the attention just for the production alone. I'm becoming a huge fan of Tyrian Lannister, the "Imp". Peter Dinklage is fantastic for the role.

I also been loving his work, but the credit also goes for the writers who made him the way he is.

Don't know why, but i also like that guy who has been following the targarians and the horde.

Hmmm, anyone know where I can get the books? I want them in hard back/cover. Had a quick look on Amazon and didn't find anything. I'd want to buy directly from Amazon not one of those 3rd party sellers.

Book 1 - http://www.amazon.com/Game-Thrones-Song-Fire-Book/dp/0553103547/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1306802695&sr=8-1

Book 2 - http://www.amazon.com/Clash-Kings-Song-Fire-Book/dp/0553108034/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0

Book 3 - http://www.amazon.com/Storm-Swords-Song-Fire-Book/dp/0553106635/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0

Book 4 - http://www.amazon.com/Feast-Crows-Song-Fire-Book/dp/0553801503/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0

All in hardcover. You can select which version/format you want in the middle box. Though that's for the US amazon.

Apart from I'm in the UK you noob! Turns out they stopped hardback prints a while back in the UK. Only paperbacks, which is kinda gay. I'm gonna wait, I guess with the renewed popularity thanks to the TV series we will definitely see a re-print I reckon.

      The site is pretty sparse on features / tech specs. Can I plug it into a PC/hone/Switch via USB-C and use it as an external display? If so, what's the virtual resolution of the screen, the refresh rate, PPI of the image etc? Is the text crisp enough to use for coding at say 12pt? Is it good enough for playing dark games, like say Path of Exile 2? How about fast games like car racing games? Just how do they expect anyone to order this thing without giving out all this info?
