HBO's Game of Thrones (Season 2)

I started watching this show and absolutly love it. I'd say if your a LOTR fan this is definitly worth a look, just be warned of the nudity and swearing as with all things HBO.

What a bunch of winners the Lanisters are. lol.

Re: HBO's Game of Thrones

I saw the first episode but wasn't too impressed. I'll give it another go though. My friend who read the books says it's kind of slow in parts, so maybe that's why.

I had to go back and rewatch the first episode just to try and figure out the next two. It's a lot to take in character and plot wise all at once.

It's not heavy on action to this point, but it does feel like the characters are all being moved into place for something epic.

Right now I'd call it very character driven as the audience is getting to know no less than 15 prominate characters, which includes Ned's(Sean Bean's) children, both young and old.

I can't believe Ned's wife is so foolish.

None the less I think Tyrion Lannister will be the worst enemy his own Brother and Sister make. Love the actor portraying him.

Re: HBO's Game of Thrones

Looks like we're moving rapidly towards a Braveheart esk war between the Starks and the Lannisters. Great stuff!

Re: HBO's Game of Thrones

It's been an enjoyable series so far, it's too bad there are only two more episodes left in the season.

Re: HBO's Game of Thrones

Wow, yeah that was a huge plot twist. I didn't see it coming at all.

I guess that means unending war. Sounds good.

Re: HBO's Game of Thrones

That was way better than I had hoped. I was a little worried all the cool stuff happened last week......

Two things stood out to me. One was Arya being befriended by the former King's illigitimate son.

The second was those awesome baby dragons and Dany.

Guess I'm reading the books now because there is not way I can wait a year for another season to find out what happens

Re: HBO's Game of Thrones

I was so hoping Sansa was going to push Joffrey to his death.

Loved the phoenix imagery with Daenerys and the dragons at the end.

Looking forward to next season.
