Game of Thrones has already been renewed for a second season! Looks like it had some pretty good ratings. 4.2 million viewers for the first night, that includes all airings. Hopefully viewership will continue to climb and we can see all of the books adapted!

I loved last night's episode as well. It looked even more amazing than I'd hoped it would. Normally I despise book adaptations to movies or especially to TV. They just never do the original justice but I really don't even have anything to nitpick about Game of Thrones. I hope everyone that watched sticks with it because as good as last night was, it just gets better. I've heard it really takes off at episodes 5 and 6.
The books, and the show as well has a very large cast of characters. As a big fan of the books I knew immediately who everyone was but I wonder if it was difficult for anyone who had not read the books to keep up with who was who?

This weekend is a free HBO weekend. So even if you don't normally get HBO you can still tune in and enjoy the first episode at least!

Maybe a fire card that cauterizes the wound as a cure?

Wow, I just watched the Making Game of Thrones video. I'm totally convinced that this will be THE best show of 2011. Everything looks absolutely gorgeous, actors are all top notch, it actually feels like I'm watching the books unfold. If you have HBO you have to watch this, if you don't have HBO consider getting it. I say this purely out of greed because the higher their ratings the more seasons/books I get to see! 
Here is the link if you are interested in watching it.

I highly recommend the books, they have a lot of unique elements that make them very enjoyable. Here are some of the reasons I really loved them.
Each chapter is told from a certain characters perspective so you get to see the story unfold through different eyes and you end up with a large number of favorite characters.
There are really no clear cut good guys and bad guys. The characters are more realistic with their own goals and ambitions and these often come into conflict with other characters.
They are fantasy books but the fantasy aspect is very muted so I think people that don't normally enjoy fantasy books can still really get into them. For the majority of the population magic is the stuff of myth and legends and most people are skeptical of such things.
These are not fantasy books for kids. They are dark and gritty with sex and violence and the characters that inhabit them are not safe. Characters you like do and will die.

HBO released the first 14 minutes of the first episode of Game of Thrones the other day. Everything looks amazing! It was so great it seemed way shorter than fourteen minutes, I can't wait for the whole episode now. Here is a link for the preview.
