[Efour]

This is awesome just watching it today 3 episodes in a row.... As many more as i can fit in after dinner i think... Love it.

Just watched it all. Found myself wanting an epic battle right from the go which never materialised. I grew into the series, by epp 8 I was hooked. Very disappointed how it tailed off though.

Hmm, I was starting to get a teeny bit bored with eps 9+10. But then the dragons came. And now we have to wait a year.

Yep he's been rumoured as Stannis.

He doesn't quite have the build for Stannis (at least how I picture him anyway) though perhaps he would be right for Jaqen H'ghar?

It's a story told over 7 books.

Just finished the 4th book- which was released in 2005. At the end the author says that he hopes to release the 5th book in 2006 book 5 as most of it was written but there was too much material to put into 1 book.(BTW the book is released in a few weeks- a little behind schedule!). That seems to suggest that book 4 and 5 will be concurrent which probably means that if they make series 4 that it will contain material from both book 4&5.

Now I may be getting mixed up who you mean but I'm sure we seen him at end of episode 10.

Regarding Stannis, I think Mark Strong would be perfect for him! http://winter-is-coming.net/2011/02/casting-season-two-stannis/

Nope, we didn't, or they wouldn't be casting for him.

EDIT - Ahh sorry thought you were talking about Stannis.

I am struggling through the first book as I already know what happens I am determined to get through it though as I have already noticed many differences.

Just wait till you hit the second book, it gets very interesting.

 

[subzero]

second book pales in comparison to the 3rd book,if the series makes it to 3 were are in for a bumpy ride,best book i have read in a long time..

 

[ic1male]

So in other words "We ain't seen nothing yet!" ?

We did and we didn't, he was in the cage with Rorge and Biter but he was completely hooded so we couldn't see his face.

Very good debut series!

First episode was a little bit poor, but then the 4 last episodes left me

By the way Karl Drogo is in the remake of Conan the Barbarian.

Mark Strong would spot on, good eye.

I didnt think Daenerys Targaryen was that good looking in the show but my word she is stuning!

I watched the show then read the book. I was shocked to find out Dany's age
