I've been waiting for this since I first heard about it. Unfortunately, the first episode is this Sunday at 9PM during the Knicks game.
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
How beautiful if nothing more
Than to wait at Zion's door
I've never been in love like this before
Now let me pray to keep you from
The perils that will surely come

AGOT starts at 9PM and maybe replayed at 10PM? It is also being played throughout the week. The schedule is at http://www.hbo.com/#/schedule/series/Game+OF+THRONES/PMRS1663 or record it on TiVo The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

Have read the books and this is the first time in a while that I'm pissed I don't have HBO. May have to call my cable company!

I'm not sure how accurate it is but I just read that HBO is having a free weekend, so you'll be able to watch the first episode at least. Now the joy of my world is in Zion

It's not a mini-series, it's a regular series. There will be seasons for it.
I can't wait to watch it. I never read the books but I'm into this genre. Everything I've seen so far looks pretty good. Plus Sean Bean is a good actor. "Our attitude toward life determines life's attitude towards us." - Earl Nightingale

Hopefully they will continue with the next books, one book per season and make it a series. Since you are into this genre, I very highly recommend reading the books. Incredibly intricate in plot and characters and many small details which foreshadow future events. Hard to imagine that the movie can capture all of this. The series still should be great to watch.

Just for fun, the latest trailer. It should excite some of the Alba thread regulars.

I've never read the books (I've always been more of a Dragonlance guy) and I was about to give up on this series, but the last two episode have me hooked. I'm like WTF after the end of episode 6. It takes a while to pick up, but this series looks like it's going to be good.

The second half of this series has me hooked big time. Looking forward to season 2. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

Episode 9 ended very dramatically. Episode 10 should as well, as I read the books so I know what is going to happen. And yet, I am "dying" to see the rest of the series.
The acting and directing have been phenomenal. The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

Can't wait to see how they end this and whether or not they continue with the other books. I had a tough time after book 3...they are massive volumes with too many characters. It's a bummer when your favorite characters keep dying...Eddard Stark, Cat Stark, etc...
Have been surprised at how the wolves haven't played a super central role in these plots b/c they did in the books. Either way, I"m hooked!! |

Have not read the books, so I was stunned at Sean Bean's exit.
A great show- wish they did more than 10 episodes for the first season. Uniformly well acted with interesting characters and excellent dialogue, which I assume comes from the books. Band of Brothers, Deadwood, Rome, and now Game of Thrones have really pushed the bar up for historical (Or in the case of GoT, costume) dramas, and they've all come from HBO. Add Spartacus to the historical list, and Justified to the general list of cable series, and I'm a pretty happy guy as far as my limited TV viewing goes (actually- I download these shows from Pirate Bay). No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities- C.N. Bovee
