Yeah, this looks pretty awesome:

And it's a shame that this show will inevitably go south once they get to the abysmal fourth book. But at least that won't be until Season 5 (the third book is going to be broken up into two seasons).

Finished season 1 and found this pretty entertaining. A pretty balanced mix of cable-ready sleaze, high production values, and interesting storytelling. Haven't decided yet whether I'll read book 2 (I still haven't learned some of these characters' names).

Did the book describe the battle where Jamie is captured? Wondered if they skipped over that for budget reasons.

Also, I think this video is relevant to the board's interests.

Finally watched Game of Thrones, I watched the whole first season plus the first two episodes of season two in one weekend. It was great to do them back-to-back, with no cliff hanging. It's like John Boorman's "Excalibur" but with more laughs. I love it, it's so fun, but the real star is the opening title sequence - wow, maybe the coolest title sequence ever.

Here's a cool version of the titles with the child actors singing the theme, haha:
