Game of Thrones
Anyone else as simultaneously excited and worried about this? The books are incredible, very dark, bloody as hell and I just can't seem to put them down. I just hope they will at least try to do the first book justice.

I love that they finally have some videos available now. Looks good so far. My wife and I cancelled HBO last year but might have to pick it back up again in 2011. Eric |

Re: Game of Thrones
i just wish he'd write the books faster. i've been waiting for the next one (A Dance with Dragons) for like 5 years now. ugh.
anyway, my thoughts on the show are positive. I've never really disliked the quality of an HBO show, so I think it will be good. |

Re: Game of Thrones
5 Years between books....that's reason enough not to start reading them.

My wife is really enjoying not paying for HBO now (more shoes for her) so I know it's going to be tough to get her to sign up again. I'm going to have to pick my battles here. I've been debating whether to pick up the NHL package or wait and see if I can get her to subscribe to HBO again. |

Re: Game of Thrones
From the behind the scenes stuff on You Tube from HBO it looks like the series will be dead on. There are even interviews with George R.R. Martin talking about everything.
The lines are spot on from what you catch of them at times.

Re: Game of Thrones
Like many of the Sci Fi series, I lost interest waiting for the next book to come out. This is one of several series that I started and no longer remember which books I have and haven't read. The books were good and I want to get back to the series at some point in future. Now where is that last WoT book?

Re: Game of Thrones
Hopefully he will get this next book done, and it will be the end. I hate when they go on and on and keep adding books. Wheel of Time just got terrible so much so that it ruined the first four books(that were actually good)

As far as the series, I'm really excited for it and only minimally worried (as much as anybody should be for a book to tv or movie transfer). With each preview however I'm more and more satisfied that HBO will do this series right. I just finished the fourth book Friday and I'm VERY much so looking forward to see this. Also can't wait for July 12th and the next book |

Re: Game of Thrones
I just picked up the first four books. Hoping to be through the first before the show starts.

Re: Game of Thrones
I have never read the books. I just saw the preview because I have free HBO for weekend. I thought it looked pretty good, might even have to order the channel because of that and other shows. We'll see, definetly going to watch Sunday.

Re: Game of Thrones
I love the books. I was a little worried about this aswell because whenever I read a book then see a movie or show based on it I am usualy let down.
But I have watched the making of videos that have been made and the fact that the writer is pretty involved I have high hopes. I can't wait for this to start. |
