Game of Thrones

Anyone watch it or read the books?

I started with the show, but was so enthralled by it that I immediately began reading the books after Season 2 was over.

After you were excaiming how good it was, I was debating watching it, then these guys got me into DayZ

I started the books a couple of years before the show, and finished A Dance with Dragons recently. Whilst the books, as with all adaptations, are obviously superior to the show, the show is very good. My favourite episode so far has to be S02E09: Blackwater.

I watched a few episodes of the first season of the show and it couldn't really hold my attention or interest, unfortunately. I plan on going back to it or reading the books at some point, though.

Can't believe some people are still on this forum... Hi King Amazon.

what up

I found this SNL skit a couple days ago:

While it is pretty funny, it brings up a good point that in television recently there has been a drastic increase in nudity, GoT a great example.

Now I don't mind the tits or cunt shots, but the media has a way of influencing our ideas and perspectives. And I wonder at times if excessive nudity or porn desensitizes us to the point of taking away from the appeal or amount of pleasure in sexual or nude encounters.

I need to start reading the books because I love the show. The ending to Season 2 had me really confused though.

Anything in particular you'd like explaining?
