only got through two of three last night.

it went well....she thought it was interesting, but also said something to the affect of "It feels like I am jumping into the story at the halfway point already".   So I had to do a bit of fill-in-the-blank after each episode.

Common discussion in my house:

Wife: "Are you reading that mega-series again?" 

Me: Why, as a matter of fact I am.

But she will be watching with me tonight when I binge the released episodes.   

I am hopeful, but nervous.  "Don't screw this up!" is pretty much where I landed.  But I can tell already that there are somethings the show-runners do not understand about the series by the changes they have made.

My college roommate, who introduced me to the series back in the 90's, went to a RJ book signing sometime around Book 10.  He gave RJ explicit instructions "You're not allowed to die until this is finished."  Oops.  But hopefully the fact that the series is done will prevent it from becoming the catastrophe that GoT ended up being.
