FUCK YEAH! Just finished the first book (and all the shops have run out of the second book). I've seen the first episode and have d/l the 2nd ready to watch tonight! Loving it - anyone else watching it? I know a few forum members have read the books because they recommended it to me! I'm generally pretty happy with the adaptation so far. There was one bit that got me a bit peeved though because they didn't get it right the bit where Khal Drogo first has sex with Daenarys was made to look proper rapey but it wasn't supposed to be like that. In the book he asks "no?" and then she says "yes" - its the beginning of him showing her his human side and is really beautiful and important. but other than that, I'm loving it! Sex, violence and really nice cloaks make me happy

I absolutely love the books and have read them so many times over the years I pretty much have them memorized. There's a few things I don't like about the series (mainly the way some of the characters say their lines), but it's still very entertaining and well done.
And I agree Sally, the fact that they changed that part made no sense. I guess they just wanted to come off as more "shocking" in the series. Still though, they kinda sorta address it in the second episode.

I won't read the books as they were written by this geek ... ... so the books are for dorks. The TV show i will watch because it stars the manliest man ever to come out of Yorkshire ... ... watched the first episode last week and loved it despite staring the fat dude from 'The Full Monty' / Tesco adverts, who always manages to annoy me because he's a massive cunt.

If people are stopping watching after what happens at the end of the first season there is no way they will be able to take this book. The fall out from it is so massive and catastrophic it has taken GRRM 10 years and two books to clean it up. Incredible story telling.
