Excellent New Yorker article on Martin and his love/hate relationship with his fans:

Game of Thrones, you had me at doggy style incest.

Looks like there was free HBO this weekend. So I did get to see the pilot of the series.

**penpizdes** · 04-20-2011, 07:40 PM

I loved the opening sequence. It was very creepy and attention-getting. Everything else, while adequate, didn't quite live up to those first few minutes.

**erelvenewmeva** · 04-23-2011, 08:59 PM

It's been renewed for a second season.

**DoterForeva** · 04-24-2011, 11:44 AM

It's ridiculous to renew a series for a second season based upon the pilot episode.

Ratings wise, it didn't do as well as the Boardwalk Empire premiere, but it did better than the True Blood one.

I'm usually not wrong (actually, I almost always get it wrong), but this time I'm quite wrong. I concede that in my earlier post I was wrong to knock the show, because I have seen a couple of episodes now.

And it is pretty good.

I don't watch TV much nowadays, but this is GRRM, and GRRM gets a little of my time, no matter how busy. I'm glad it didn't suck, and the gratuitous scenes didn't detract too much. Dinklage, as is the character he plays, is awesome.

I'm really starting to like this series now. Episodes 5 and 6 really kicked it up a notch, and I just saw that episode 7 has leaked online and... wow. All that set-up they've been doing is really starting to pay off.

**erelvenewmeva** · 05-28-2011, 09:10 PM

Dinklage owns this show.

**DoterForeva** · 06-09-2011, 01:15 PM

Having read the book now, I can't wait to see more of Tyrion in the show. How many episodes is season one expected to have?

**AnIInWon** · 06-09-2011, 01:25 PM

9 or 10 I think.

**DoterForeva** · 06-10-2011, 12:39 AM

And how long do these things usually have to wait before being released on DVD?

**penpizdes** · 06-10-2011, 07:40 PM

Not long before Season 2 airs. It's going to be quite a wait.

**DoterForeva** · 06-11-2011, 03:30 AM

Ah. Well, I guess I could spend that waiting time watching the boxed sets of TV shows I've got lying around. A half dozen shows... at least. But then factor in all that anime I'll be needing to see soon. I'm sure that I can keep myself busy.
