it is a really great show Mike. it's now really about the sword and sorcery stuff, if that is not your thing. although there is plenty of it. it's really about political intrigue and the alliances and frequent betrayals. with lots of gratuitous nudity and sex thrown in for good measureComment

Never seen the show...but have been intrigued on starting.
Kinda strange, because I devour most anything from HBO.
I did see one fight scene on YouTube...the Mountain man getting outclassed by this expert swordsman...but in the end...the Mountain dude makes mashed potatoes outta the dude's head...in turn...Mountain also dies...so it was a very bloody draw, lol.
Is the show like that throughout?
Were those two regular characters?
I hear more regulars die in Game of Thrones than regulars in the Walking Dead. Is that true?
The little actor, he's a damn good actor, I've seen him in a lot of movies. What role does he play?
And in a nutshell...what exactly is the show all about?sigpicComment

Really looking forward to the new season, I love the show! And now it looks like the show for the most part will be surpassing the book. Since I've read all the books, this will be the first time the show will be unknown territory for me, I'm looking forward to finally being surprised like the non book readers have been!Comment

Yep. The Mountain is in it from the beginning. Oberyn was introduced as a series regular at the start of that season, you fall in love with the character... and then... that.
I'd say the other big difference between the two is Thrones is a 10 episode season. So the plot stays on rails way more than the more leisurely pace of Walking Dead.
It is not your stereotypical fantasy genre. There are no bands of purehearted adventurers off to defeat the evil wizard. The characters are morally "grey" and 3 dimensional, rather than "black" or "white". And the story is all about the intrigue and maneuverings of the kingdom. Lots of politics and sex and violence and so forth... but all in service of those interesting, complex characters. The hard part isn't getting onto the throne, but how do you keep power once you have it?
Based on other things I have heard you rave about, I think you would really dig it once you started watching.Comment

Definitely one of the most riveting shows on TV. Full of ultra violence, gore, brutality, sex, nudity (lots of that), Wars of the Roses inspired political maneuvering and hard-edged fantasy elements.PUNY HUMANS!Comment

and there are dragons, did we mention that? the mother of dragons is absolutely gorgeous and was married to our future Aquaman during the first season. Definitely check it out HectorComment

I'm beginning to take an interest in it, and I have held off for the past five years!
It was watching the clip of the Red Wedding on youtube that turned me off to it. But, I figure if it get's too bloody, I can always change the channel until the next segment comes on.JediJaidaComment
