Yes! This last episode was awesome and the whole series has been great. I haven't read the books yet because i didn't discover the series until about a week before the show debuted. I very much look forward to reading the books.

I haven't read the books or watched the show but I may have to check it out as there's been a lot of talk about it.

You can tell from the previews they chagned a bit from the books so I'm curious how they compare. No HBO at my house though.
Anyone that's read the books and watched the show have a comparison to share?

You can torrent it if necessary I'm sure.
Definitely worth checking out. Shows have been great.
Obviously a lot of little things need to be cut out due to time constraints, but so far, everything that they've had to hit, they've hit in terms of plot or character advancement. I can't think of any scene of that type that hasn't been in the episodes so far.

Rather wait and buy the DVDs. Torrents are a bane on creative works.

And I will be purchasing the entire series when they are available. I'm through the last book available, so I can't wait for all the super sick developments. My g/f has never read the books, but she LOVES the series. Chances are if you liked LOTR movies you'll like this series.

I've been keeping up with it. It's pretty good. What's cool is to see how the castles look in the mind of the producers and George R.R. Martin compared to how I envisioned them in my head. I got The Wall way wrong. They've been keeping pretty close to the books, but definitely have strayed a bit, but those instances have been a bit necessary because it's hard to get all that is in the book into the show. They've done a much better job so far than Starz did with Pillars Of The Earth.

Very NSFW language but very funny reaction to Episode 9 (SPOILERS if you haven't watched it yet):

As a super fan of this series, I'm really pleased with what HBO has done. Casting, acting, art direction, all just fantastic. My only gripe would be the lack of fight scenes. They just skipped right over Rob taking it to Jamie Lanister, and some of the brief choreography for fights has been pretty simplistic. But the rest of it, goddamn, love it.

Judging by the shape and the door handles, is that a sweet late-80s/early-90s Taurus Wagon? Which was an awesome car!

I absolutely loved the books, besides the waits in between them. I was presently surprised by the quality of the show(although HBO does not disappoint often). I also got the wall WAY different as well. I guess they were envisioning something a bit more epic than me.

Finally started book 5. About 1/4 of the way through and must say it isn't as disappointing as the 4th book. If the series lasts up to 4 and 5 they need to merge the books into one season because book 4 is blah.

Just remember what happens to main characters in the other books. Trend continues in Book 5, and for the same foolish reasons.
