Game of Thrones

. . . I totally guessed Dani's plan and the outcome, did you? So sad for the Drago, but it's good to see her come into her own, as it were. And I told Anya "It's okay, kiddo, you'll be a better "boy" than you were a girl, at least for now!" . . .

Dani? As in Daenerys? Have they called her Dani in the show? I hadn't even noticed! I figured she would walk into the fire to prove who she truly is, and gain respect, I'd not even figured in the dragon eggs. I was shocked and saddened at Drogo's death. I guess it sped up Daenerys' "coming out" party, but I wish he hadn't died. I really liked his character. Arya is a fantastic character, and I'm interested to see what kind of relationship she and King Robert's bastard son develop.

I just guessed at "Dani" - they probably spelled it as it was in the book. Usually they just called her "the Khaleesi" so it was hard to tell! I figured in the dragon eggs from earlier in the season, when she had placed one in the fire, then picked it up, and it didn't burn her but did burn her maiden.

Oh, gotcha. I figured something would eventually happen with the eggs, but I'd not seen it coming this soon. I remember that scene, and her brother dying shortly after her revelation on who the true dragon was in her family. He was nauseating.

Bumping this one up. I just got hubby to watch the first season and he was hooked right from the 1st episode. He is actually starting the first book of the series now because he CAN'T wait until April of 2012 to see season 2. I just finished Book 4 of the series and am dying cause I have to wait 2-3 weeks for Book 5 A Dance with Dragons to get delivered. I order my books online in english as it is not easy to get them at book stores here.

I read the first book, then watched the first season. I really liked it, especially the book. (So much better, of course) I started the second one but put it down for a while.

The books are quite long. The third one is the longest at 1100+ pages. I like the overall way the books are laid out. With each chapter dedicated to a particular character & what's going on with them but I don't know about anyone else who has read them but there are certain chapters you can't wait to read while others are not so 'interesting' for lack of a better word. Of course that all has to do with the characters you like the most or dislike or could leave or take. I have really enjoyed them so far and can't wait to get my hands on A Dance with Dragons. I know that once I read that one I am going to be climbing the walls waiting for the next one The Winds of Winter. There is no mention as of yet as to when it might be out. I am hoping in not too long. As of June of 2010 he had 100 pages written. That was over a year ago but it was a long time period between book 4 A Feast for Crows & book 5 A Dance with Dragons, 6 years to be precise. I hope he doesn't take that long between book 5 & book 6.

I can't wait for season 2! I'm undecided if I want to start reading the books right now.

I just bought the first book! Can't wait to read it!
