I know right, the guy who died in the RV trying to save Rick and Carl from the burning barn and zombies. I think he got a total of 60 seconds of screen time the whole season. lolQuote:

Anyone watching this show? Last night was the season premier of the second season on HBO.
I seriously don't understand how people watch that Showtime program (yeah I know it's name and it's lack of depth) but don't watch Game Of Thrones which is clearly a superior program though there may be less flashes of wanton sex which Showtime uses to keep the guys focused when not engaging in gladiatorial combat.
Game of Thrones on the other hand, uses smart, witty, and engaging dialogue that stokes intrigue, pulls you into their world, and makes you develop feelings (good or bad) for it's many characters. There is lots of bloody combat, which generally serves as a purpose of moving the story along and not just for the sake of graphic violence. There is a growing fantasy element, with dragons (hooray), magic, and wolf familiars. Overall, this is the show to be watching and if you haven't seen the first season, it is well worth the watch. Trust me, there is one particular episode that will make you cringe at the thought of owning a "Golden Crowne".
As someone who read the 1st 3 novels of "Song of fire and ice" based on how great the first season of Game of thrones was, I'm quite disappointed with how season 2 has left out or changed so many important parts of "A clash of Kings". Granted it must be hard to put 1100 pages of story into a 10 episode season. It still left me feeling disappointed with a lot of it.Quote:

Its a shame to because I only bought the 1st four books on the strength of fans crediting HBO for following book one so closely. A lot of these changes were a big disservice to the show IMO.
This is why I don't read the Sookie Stackhouse novels, since odds are that I won't like True Blood series because of how far they've strayed from the source material.
It's awesome enough as is.
I haven't read any of the books myself, and probably wont until the show is completely finished. That way I can appreciate the two separate mediums independently. I literally have nothing bad to say about the Game of Thrones as a HBO show aside from "Longer Seasons"!! lolQuote:

I'm psyched that Tara is a vamp now and sort of feel like Tara and Lafayette have the most character development from first season to now. I'm starting to wonder if the show is getting too big, in that there are constantly characters vying for screen time. I really hope this season is able to maintain some focus and advance the story in a meaningful way. While this is the first season without Alan Ball, it will be interesting to see where things go, gosh I really do love this show. ;)
Pfft... more like Poo Blood. = ___=
