Game of Thrones TV Show Discussion (NO BOOK SPOILERS PLEASE)

I've been following this series with quite a lot of interest for the last few months. The second season is ongoing now, with a new episode aired every Sunday night in the U.S. Torrents for each new episode are available by around 9 am in India on Monday morning.

I'll let wiki do the introduction on my behalf, in case there are people who haven't heard of this series yet. In which case they are either too young to appreciate it, or living in some sort of cave in the paleolithic era.

Game of Thrones is an American medieval fantasy television series created for HBO by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. It is an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin's series of fantasy novels, the first of which is titled A Game of Thrones.

Set in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, Game of Thrones chronicles the violent dynastic struggles among the kingdom's noble families for control of the Iron Throne; as the series opens, additional threats from the snow and ice covered region north of Westeros and from the eastern continent across a narrow sea are simultaneously beginning to rise

WARNING: THIS SERIES HAS BUTTLOADS OF SAX AND VIOLINS. I don't recommend it to anyone below 18.

DOUBLE WARNING: I Haven't read the books, and I don't intend to, at least until Season 2 and my exams are both done with. So any spoilers from the books are prohibited. PRO-HI-BIT-ED

So, anybody else watches this?

I don't mean to encourage piracy here, but seriously, it's a better idea to watch it online or download using torrents, because when it airs on HBO in India it'll be HEAVILY censored. Although season 2 is somewhat less forward in the depiction of sexual content (which is the main thing Indian Censor Boards are worried about) there is often a lot of important plot exposition that goes on during those scenes. Some people call it 'plot sexposition'... Razz

Funny enough, the series is starting to branch off from the books, apparently. They're doing it similar to the first season of the FMA anime, it follows the manga and then at one point branched off into its own storyline.

Game of thrones is doing the same. In the previous episode

^I'm...really not sure what that means.

Wait a minute.
Is there NOBODY who watches this show? Like, waits with growing expectation for next weeks episode?

Fair enough, I was really late in making this thread, there is only one episode left but COME ON. This is a brilliant series, and I won't be surprised if they win some technical emmy awards for todays episode- Blackwater, which was focused on the battle between the armies of-
