I love those eyes! She's nice with natural dark hair too, but that blonde hair with dark thick eyebrows and big blue eyes is just a killer combination.

A little charred, but alive. At least we know she can't be killed by that method!

What's not to love about a hot naked chick surrounded with dragons? All she needs now is an axe and a horse that's on fire :laugh:

Come at me bro! :p

Yeah, but would it be better to read it after, you think?

Because then you get to learn more about the story, find out new stuff about the world, etc; instead of the other way around, where you read first, then finding out things have been left out because there wasn't enough time.

I've got the 4 books here just waiting. I'm going to start with the first, as soon as we get through the finale this week. I guess I'll decide after that, if I want to continue with the 2nd or wait out for season 2..

Not for me. I'm glad I finished the book before because there are things that happen with no explanation/differently than in the show. Besides, I got hooked on the book and couldn't put it down. Same with 'A Clash of Kings', I'm hooked. Can't imagine waiting a year to start it!

You will notice how in the book it didn't go down like that. He kills numerous people in that battle and sustains an injury to the arm when he gets hit by a morning star and knocked off his horse. In fact thus far Tyrion's strength and fighting prowess has been under represented, in the book he fights with an axe and splits many a head but I guess they decided to focus purely on his wit and ridicule his fighting ability.

Yes, I do know that. And I agree, Tyrion in the book is far better than the show due to the fact that we know he can fight. If someone only watched the TV show, they would come away thinking he's pretty much the pansy Lannister.

Ugg, I was really bummed today to find out that I had recorded every episode on my direct tv dvr, and 3 are missing. Weird, dont know how I am missing them, this seem to happen alot on my dvr for some reason. Does anyone know if or when they are going to replay the entire season?

I'm sure they will.

You can see them on HBO Go as well.

I'm only on episode 3, me and the girlfriend decided to instead of waiting between episodes to just not watch till they finish since it was a short run, though I managed to have what happened to

Ned spoiled for me, which was annoying, and equally devastating, though I've been told not to like any character too much as this is no typical fantasy story where the main characters survive till the end, lol.

Which leads me onto my question, I've wanted to get into the novels after watching the first few episodes, but how do the tv series and novels line up together?

The first season is named after the first novel, is everything that happens in it the complete line from the first book (ignoring things cut out going from book to tv), or is it just a part of it?

It's the full book.

Would absolutely recommend the books they are very entertaining and effortless to read (Y)

HBO?s Game of Thrones has made its first casting hire for season 2:

Natalie Dormer, who memorably played the seductive and doomed Anne Boleyn on Showtime?s The Tudors, has been added to the fantasy drama?s regular cast.

Dormer will play Margaery Tyrell, a (minor spoiler alert)

beautiful and shrewd young woman from the influential House Tyrell. She?s pledged to marry the late King Robert?s brother, Renly Baratheon, as part of House Tyrell?s support for his bid to seize the Iron Throne from King Joffrey.

In addition to The Tudors (where, appropriately enough for joining the decapitation-filled Thrones, her character was beheaded) Dormer is also appearing in the upcoming Captain America.

I finally got around to watching the first episode and I enjoyed it up until the very end.

Why in the world were a brother and sister having sex? I forgot why I wasn't interested in this show in the first place until I saw that.

Anyway, I'm still going to watch the remaining episodes of season 1.

    • Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
    • whoosh my comment went over your head. Enjoy your notchless 3:2 OLED device
    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
