Opopanax Wrote:So, has anyone watched the first episode of Game of Thrones? I saw it a few days ago and I must say I was impressed and excited.
Anyone have any thoughts on the cast?
I particularly enjoyed the casting of Jaime Lannister. Of course, that could have to do with the fact that I think the same actor might make a good Jack if it ever came to that...

Tall Tyrion Wrote:I loved TAR. I've read most if not all of Martin's books, and they never fail to satisfy.
Other Rock 'n' Roll/horror books are "The Kill Riff" by David J Schow and the two Shock Rock anthologies. Can't think of any others off hand.
Scott Miller Wrote:I watched the second episode last night and I'm hoping all this prologue leads to something special. At least I'm still planning on watching it unlike Camelot which has been removed from my recording list.
