So who will be watching the awesomeness tomorrow or on Monday for you English people? If you haven't considered watching it, you should change your mind right now!!! Tomorrow, April 17th at 9pm eastern time on HBO in America. Looks amazing.

Those are very nice promo pics. I think that I will spend Sunday night reading the book for the first time. I don't have HBO, and even if I did, I would just record the series and watch it after I complete reading AGOT. I've decided I would rather finish the book before I watch the show.

Can't wait! I already have it programmed to record the series on my DVR. :biggrin:

Mongoose · April 16, 2011

I too would watch it if I had HBO, sadly I don't.

TheMasterDude · April 17, 2011

I am actually quite excited for this as well. I have it already set up to record on my DVR *mumbles about working nights during the week*

Christine · April 17, 2011

*cries*

I promised to be a good wife and not watch it without the husband, so I shall have to wait until I get to Japan.

And err... side note... guys you do realize most of those shows are available online right?

Good choice ^^ The books are amazing and I would definitely recommend those over the show, as I have a feeling, though I believe the show will be great, it just won't have the magic that the books do. The newest book, A Dance With Dragons, comes out in July. Super stoked for that.

I too have my DVR set!! I watched the 15 minute preview they had two weeks ago, and it was pretty cool. The Others totally look creepy and awesome.

That sucks Christine!! Though is very sweet. I definitely couldn't have that self control >.> When do you go to Japan?

Yeah I do believe the show will be available online to watch, though not sure where yet.

Christine · April 17, 2011

First weekend in May I hope... we shall see...

Yeah, but even so, I still want to read it first.

I don't have HBO either sadly. That's what the internet is for... XD lol I'm just going to have to wait a week or so :/

hotpocket2006 · April 17, 2011

Poor you, I'll tell you how it goes. We're going to discuss how it goes on like Tuesday ^^

TheMasterDude · April 17, 2011

*sighs loudly* well I suppose we can wait until then TMD :tongue:

TheMasterDude · April 17, 2011

YAY! Good! :biggrin:

hotpocket2006 · April 18, 2011

15 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *is excited*

Talmanes · April 18, 2011

Gotta finish Deadhouse Gates then I'll read that.

Talya · April 19, 2011

We have it on Sky Atlantic and it was on Monday less than 24 hours after you guys...and I've watched it....

*waits unitl Wednesday with twitchy fingers!*

hotpocket2006 · April 20, 2011

I know right? Me too Talya *eyes TMD*

WWWwombat · April 20, 2011

Lol Talmanes, I'm having trouble getting through Gardens of the Moon right now.

Talmanes · April 20, 2011

That book took me a bit to get into it, but I thought it was quite well done overall.

I'm progressing slowly into Deadhouse Gates too though...

TheMasterDude · April 20, 2011

It took me a while to get through Gardens of the Moon as well. And then I only skimmed Deadhouse Gates. I was disappointed that the main character wasn't Paran in Deadhouse Gates anymore....So I only read his parts during the book, I still have to go back and read the rest of it haha.

(Oh and I'll be getting around to watching Game of Thrones tonight!) ^^

hotpocket2006 · April 21, 2011

*laughs* Good thing TMD as it is now Thursday :tongue:

So I suppose anything other than general talk on how you liked the show, etc should be put in spoiler tags as I know some people haven't read the books or seen the show yet, so be courteous. If I find it too spoilerific then I'll either pm you to change it or just edit it myself to put in spoiler tags. Thank you ^^

TheMasterDude · April 21, 2011

It's been a while since I've read the books. Is the time-line on par to everyone? If I remember correctly the blond brother and sister (I can't remember how to spell their names lol) didn't enter the series until book 2 or 3 right?

hotpocket2006 · April 22, 2011

Nope Dany and Viserys were in the first book. The timeline is perfect so far. It's happening exactly how the books did, with maybe a couple changes.

Reveal hidden contents

All in all, how did everyone like the show? I personally loved it. They did change a few things, but I felt like they were inconsequential things.

TheMasterDude · April 22, 2011

Ah ok, that makes sense. Like I said it has been a while since I have read them haha.
