Thanks for all the responses about Games of Thrones. Now I don't know when I'll get to watching it. I thought it was included in Amazon Prime but it isn't. And it's not instant access under Netflix either. Yeah I can get the DVDs through Netflix, but that's a pain in the behind. I got the first disc for True Blood and it only had 2 episodes!! TWO. I like being able to watch however many episodes at a time as I want. *I am spoiled*Comment

Sparky is on screen. Therefore, it is canon. Elizabeth is still out there. And John WILL bring her home.Comment

Because I'm a sentimental fool, and because I wish someone would look at me like that

We dropped the instant streaming on Netflix because they didn't have a lot of good ones. Then we went to Amazon Prime, only to find out their selection is even worse. I love their free shipping though.Originally posted by JT-2 View Post

From a recent GOT newbie--books and movies to me have been relatively balanced in terms of the gratuitous everything--like, HBO didn't have to stretch too far to make it HBO worthy (though they add in some stuff that I was like 'WTH--don't the books have enough without you having to make up new gratuitous stuff?).Originally posted by JT-2 View Post
But overall, casting for the show was FABULOUS. One of the best casts I've seen in a while, and the production is lovely, and thankfully not too long, which means nothing drags out. The story is good, though, as someone pointed out, if you have issues with mistreatment of women, be prepared. The show has gore, but after The Walking Dead nothing phases me.
The opening credits are one of my favorite opening credit sequences of all time.
Just--don't get attached to anyone. Not to anyone--or to any ship pairing. Go shipless here. Martin is notorious for loss of life and wrecking of ship potential. I'd advise you to just enjoy the entire thing, have a few favorite characters, maybe, but let them do what they will with all of them and not expect anything. No one is safe. As one of my least favorite characters first says early in the series--'when you play the game of thrones, you win, or you die'.
There is a lot more dying than winning.
Do you have a tv provider? Except for the DVDs, the only way to watch GOT is via HBOGo. HBO made is exclusive to that service. But if you can get it, they have all 3 season for free. I had myself some iPad love (though it was interesting, trying to shield certain aspects of episodes while watching in the office at lunchtime.)

Or find some other means.

Definitely seconding the rec to use HBO Go if you already get HBO; that's also how I got caught up on the series when I first started watching. Very useful to have.

Happy Birthday to Lt.Colonel John Sheppard and Scary Kitty!!
Consider it done. I might even have another fun one or two by then.Originally posted by Scary Kitty View PostRemember it for next week. We're gonna need it.
Probably the same thing he'd say about Zelenka's still in the science lab: "I don't want to know. If I don't know, then I can't report it. So I don't want to know."
I can see him taking that approach.
I agree completely, SR.Originally posted by Southern Red View Post
