Aye....he's a right 'slapper' :DL

I still haven't watched the first season but I've read all 5 books, only finished up A Dance With Dragons last week. Long slog but totally worth it. Brilliant story so far.

Now to get caught up and watch episode 4 so I'm at least making head way on the show and can start watching season 2.

Tyrion, Jon, Arya and surprisingly Dany for me are my favorite 4. Can't wait to see season 3/4, book 4 was a great little side story told from a great number of less important but still plot relevant characters.

The only rule, and I mean THE ONLY RULE, you have with this series, and I mean the books, is don't get attached to any character. As soon as you like them, they die.

Outstanding last two episodes. Wow, so many plot points wrapped up or advanced. This is TV done right (like Breaking Bad, unlike Sons of Anarchy and the woefully dumb Walking Dead).

So now... then long winter until season three... :wah:

As much as I love the show, the slow pace is really starting to tick me off.

I thought first season was slow, but then came the 2nd and it was 8 episodes of
pretty much nothing and 2 episodes of quickly wrapping things up to a cliffhanger
ending. :damn:

Just read hte bloody books at your own pace and quit complaining :O:

Yep, especially the very end of that final episode! I've started on the books now too (mrs' kindle versions) as there's no way I'll last a whole year! :O:

YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW, YOU HEAR ME!? :hulk:

But what a cliff hanger! Wow! last nights episode was fantastic in so many different ways.

I'm really enjoying the show. I think the pace is just about right and rather than the 'Sopranos in Middle Earth' tag it got landed with early on, it's seems much more like the Wire now in the way it doesn't hold your hand when it comes to remembering who that character who appeared for a scene in series one, episode 5 is when they reappear, and what plots they fit into.

I also like they seem to have done the moral ambiguity of many of the characters correctly. what I mean is they haven't been shy of handling the more human side of characters like Little Finger, and they've done it in a subtle and believable way where it could have been very heavy handed. For all the blood and gore, there is a lot of subtlety in the books.

Can't wait. It'll be April before it's on, won't it? :nope: Well, Sky are showing their new Sinbad show in a few weeks which might be good for a laugh. I wonder when the Borgias and Boardwalk Empire are coming back?

Boardwalk Empire is going to be back after this season of True Blood...so say in about 10 weeks or so.

That's good. I really didn't enjoy the first season of Boardwalk Empire, but the second was one of the TV highlights of the last year. I think every problem I had with it was remedied. I'm glad I stuck with it.

Haha.... No, seriously, Walking Dead = dumb. The idiots in the show never do anything except proclaim "He can't protect you, only I can protect you" over and over and over. Great line for a drinking game. :haha:

And no one in the show does a single smart thing: no one gets a safe perimeter set up with 10' fencing and reinforced posts, though they have weeks to do it. No one rounds up a couple of bulldozers with reinforced, enclosed cabins. Though they have weeks to do it. Where are the 4x4 trucks with supplies and ammo? Dumb. They argue over 'who's the daddy', one of the most stale plot devices ever, and so very out of place in a world of zombies, hostile bands of people, and end of the world stuff. Boring!! :yawn: And when they disagree, they get in fistfights in the middle of the zombies. :88) Dumb! In the finale, they fight zombies in the morning for an hour, jump in TWO cars with empty fuel tanks, then stop on the side of the road to camp so they camp so they can "save gas" and get more in the morning? What?? WTH? It's like 10 am in the morning, and where are they that another gas station isn't like 12 miles away?? And what difference does it make if they wait 18 hours for dawn, they still have the same amount of gas in the fuel tank? Are they "safe" there? Hell, no...lol. But it's a great place for one guy to tell his group he's in charge and is their dictator. Oh god, it's so funny.

Yeah, it's a great show, in a MST3K kind of way, Mookie. Sorry :O:

That's all she has done so far.

Wow! Somebody I can agree with!

I hate the Walking Dead. I watched it expecting some zombie apocalypse action but they've probably only killed 20 zombies in the whole series. :06: WTH!?!

MOAR ZOMBIE KILLING PLZ! :doh:
