WARNING: THIS TOPIC MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS

I was hooked from Ep. 1 on. Its fantastic. All the characters, storylines, its all great. My favorite character is Tyrion Lannister.

Anyone else watch the show/read the books?

NO SPOILERS NO!!! *plugs ears with fingers* LALALALALALALALAL CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALALALA...

In all seriousness, please don't reveal anything. I've only seen the first 4 episodes, and so I'll have to catch up during my break between Summer session 2 and Summer session 5.

After watching the first season on HBO I bought the first four books and I'm currently reading the second one.

If you thought the first book was intense, just wait.

Its a shame we have to wait until next April for A Clash of Kings

I'd say the only thing you'd be missing out on is an even greater appreciation of characters. In the books, the characters often think to themselves and it gives you a greater understanding of their personality and their motives. Plus, reading the books gives you better insight on what could come next, if you're one of those readers that likes to propose theories.

To each is own. :-P

I actually think the HBO series did a damn good job transferring it to TV. Better than Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings ever did.

Super-happy-spoiler-fun-times. Though, I've read all the books that are out by now.

I gotta say it was fun watching all the shocked and outraged fans posting all over Facebook after it happened though.

It was even more fun getting them all keyed up by acting somber and foreboding in reference to that episode.

Bumping this in anticipation of the next season coming out this month.

Thrones yeah!!!!

Watch the video to get pumped for GoT! =P

Some shots from the finale have leaked apparently.

We're a couple of episodes into the final season of the show now. It'll be interesting to see how it all ends.
