This thread will probably be moved.

Not into Game of Thrones. Struggled through the books quite frankly and eventually lost track of who's backstabbing who and which house wants to fight with which house. There's only so much you can remember when there's over 30 characters!

Nope, haven't watched a second of it, since I view it as just another drama involving a noble subculture. But if there was a TMNT crossover with house Reed, I may give it a watch. I do hear that the subalterns, such as Arya Stark and Littlefinger are the best part of the show with traditional superhero powers.

Nope. I'd love to read the books one day, but I don't have HBO, so I can't watch the show anyway. And this should be moved into the TV and Movies forum.

Game a Thrones is probably the best show on TV right now. i've read the books and the show is better (which is Rare for the move/show to out shine the book). Peter Dinklage does a great job portraying one of my favourite character's Tyrion.

as far as houses go:
Greyjoy has the best house words: "we do not sow"
Targaryen the best sigil:
but my favourite house is the Lannisters. a house that strives for power and has both the muscle and intelligence to do it

I've read all of the books so far. I think I like the novels a little more, depending on which story they are adapting. For instance, I don't like certain changes made to Arya's story, but they made Dany's story more interesting.

If I had to root for one house over the others, it would be House Targaryen. Daenerys seems to be the closest thing to a "good guy" among the characters fighting for the throne. She's pretty kind to her subjects, and seems to save that nastiness the other leaders have for when someone double crosses her.

I'm watching it now, getting thru season 2. But I agree, as good as it is it's VERY hard to keep track of names, what each person's agenda is, who's fighting who and why, etc. I thought LotR movies were tricky at first since there's a lot of characters there too, but that wasn't so bad after a few viewings. But this, wow! Good show, just a bit overwhelming.

I would be EXTREMELY surprised and disappointed if they didn't film all the books. But as I don't know what happens in the books and don't wanna know, of course they could just end it earlier if for some idiotic reason everybody stop caring about the show.
