Game of Thrones

Anyone watching this HBO series?
Guess we shouldn't expect any happy ending.

Yeah we say there stunned at the ending. Surprised, but then I didn't read the books... Fans being pissed? They'd be pissed too if the story didn't follow the books HAHA....

I wouldn't say this is entirely true. There is still a lot going on, even if it isn't explicitly stated in the books.

Before this episode aired, I liked to ask people who watch the show but have not read the books who their favorit characters were. I can't really do that now.

Ha ha ha ha, varmint I got to admit I was caught off guard as well.
This video is a funny at first I was thinking what the hell people record themselves while watching TV.

Then I realize some one already knew what was coming.
Guess I live in vacuum.

UPDATE: 12/03/2013
I'm hooked, watched the first two seasons over the past few weeks by renting free DVD's from my local public library.

I'd like to watch Season-3 but it's not currently held at the library.

Some research indicates that you have to subscribe to HBO, and that's not going to happen because I'm going with a digital roof top antenna to save money in the long run.

No cable, no U-Verse, just free broadcast over the public airwaves and what I can get on the Internet.

Any legal options other than waiting?

I don't foresee this series being available on Netflix or Hulu anytime soon, there appears to be a market/power struggle going on from what I've read.

Yea, I'm too cheap to buy the DVD's or BluRay's off the Internet, don't even go there.

I'm sure they will, but I'd rather wait a year and watch it for free.

I've read all of the books. All I can say is don't get too attached to any of the characters.
