PS I read that the actress who plays Arya is IRL right-handed but is sword-fighting left-handed. I ought to be resentful of someone who's awesome and one-third my age, but no.

she fights left-handed in the book, too

ban drake (the rapper) (max), Saturday, 7 May 2011 15:05 (fifteen years ago)

I curse my lack of cable and terrible internet connection. How long do these things take to come out on DVD? Please don't tell me that Martin has to oversee the DVD release because he doesn't have have time for this, I say.

brownie, Saturday, 7 May 2011 20:38 (fifteen years ago)

ban drake (the rapper) (max), Saturday, 7 May 2011 20:52 (fifteen years ago)

Confirmation that even my wife, who has never read a sentence of the books, is hooked: at the final scene she shouted out, "we have to wait another WEEK for the next episode? Fuck you HBO". I lolled heartily, she has no idea what she is in store for.

'what are you, the Hymen Protection League of America?' (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 9 May 2011 17:23 (fifteen years ago)

is this show suspenseful? i can't tell.

raggett doll, livin' in a rovi (some dude), Monday, 9 May 2011 17:27 (fifteen years ago)

The ending of this week's was pretty suspenseful, particularly for someone new to the story.

'what are you, the Hymen Protection League of America?' (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 9 May 2011 17:29 (fifteen years ago)

Very fun show.

The jousting scene was the BEST!

reggaeton for the painfully alone (polyphonic), Monday, 9 May 2011 17:38 (fifteen years ago)

^^^^ totally lived up to my expectation

and Catelyn's ambush in the tavern at the end played out beautifully

Samwell is A+, they cast him well. I love the wall boys so much.

VegemiteGrrl, Monday, 9 May 2011 17:49 (fifteen years ago)

welp i just finished the first book

ban drake (the rapper) (max), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:15 (fifteen years ago)

shit got pretty nuts at the end there

ban drake (the rapper) (max), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:16 (fifteen years ago)

soooo we're like halfway through the first book, yeah? -ish? should i bother to start reading? it seems long and i don't have ~that~ much free time.

kinda torn between wanting to know NOW exactly how ham it gets and savoring the madness as it unfolds.

btw found the HBO 'guide' to be v helpful in keeping track of who's who

cop a cute abdomen (gbx), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:20 (fifteen years ago)

also kinda dont want to read hundreds of pages of stuff i've just seen

cop a cute abdomen (gbx), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:20 (fifteen years ago)

if ur like me you will end up making free time to read it

ban drake (the rapper) (max), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:20 (fifteen years ago)

its kinda slow going at first but it really picks up ~200 pages in and its worth it even if youve already seen the tv show

ban drake (the rapper) (max), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:21 (fifteen years ago)

& its not exactly a "hard read" either, you could finish it over an intense weekend

ban drake (the rapper) (max), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:21 (fifteen years ago)

hmmmm

cop a cute abdomen (gbx), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:24 (fifteen years ago)

i need a good page-turner

cop a cute abdomen (gbx), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:24 (fifteen years ago)

good thing i live two blocks from a used book store

cop a cute abdomen (gbx), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:25 (fifteen years ago)

DO IT

Dreaded Burrito Gang (DJP), Monday, 9 May 2011 19:13 (fifteen years ago)

thing is, yer gonna wanna read the second book as soon as the first season of the tv show is over, so you'd better read the first book now so you don't miss anything small..

also, in the book during the jousting scene (from sansa's POV) Sir Hugh is just "some knight from the vale." and his death is less obviously diabolical.

one dis leads to another (ian), Monday, 9 May 2011 19:17 (fifteen years ago)

Didn't strike me as diabolical, but I'm guessing it's cuz the hand went asking questions?

cop a cute abdomen (gbx), Monday, 9 May 2011 19:23 (fifteen years ago)

i think u mean ser hugh

ban drake (the rapper) (max), Monday, 9 May 2011 19:23 (fifteen years ago)

Viserys Targaryen is growing on me a bit.
