Really loved this series but agree that it would have been better being a bit longer, even by a couple of episodes. I was confused by the things people have already mentioned, so thanks for clearing them up. The problem was I didn't know if we'd missed something or if they'd forgotten to tell us or if we weren't meant to know!
ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
Loved the bits with Kaleesay(?). She is amazing, and showed that she wasn't weak when she locked those two in the safe! That's the final episodes of series one and two had properly amazing scenes near the end of her and her dragons.
I think it's Khaleesi - and it's a title rather than her name, which is Danaerys.
It basically means Queen, doesn't it? It would make for a cool name though.
Just watched episodes nine and ten! Fucking hell, it's just awesome. I've not read the books, mind you. I am tempted to read the first two before the third season starts but not any more than that as I'm really enjoying the show and would rather not know what happens throughout and spoil it for myself.
That being said, I spent this past weekend in Milton Keynes (horrid place) and amongst other things, had this done...
I couldn't get a picture of Lena Headey as she wasn't allowing photos & Jason Momoa was wearing a fucking stupid hat. Not that I was gonna tell him that. Roxanne McKee might just be one of the most attractive people I have ever met. The show and pictures do not do her justice in any way at all.
It would be more humourous if I could embed that in this post, but SOME DICK, not saying who, has done this: "The owner has disabled downloading of their photos"

Like so...
He was fucking amazing. I just wish he would have been able to stand for a photo, I am quite short so it would've been brilliant to see.
As an aside, I was listening to something on Radio 4 (it was on about 4pm, sometime last week) about Hit and Miss, and Paul Abbott said that SKY Atlantic was committed to purchasing longer dramas, so episode runs of 10 and more, rather than the 6 or so that the other channels seem to prefer. That's why he sold it to them, and it isn't on C4. He said he liked that form of dedication to the longer form drama.
I'm also only posting this so it appears on my front page and I can read through 11 pages of comments at my leisure. So, no posting anything else for the time being. 'k, thanks.
I've only read as far as Myps moaning about the Lord of the Rings books so far. I'm sure he was only Tolkien the piss. *ahem*
Page 6 and people have already watched the entire first season. This topic has almost as many twists as the programme:
Lord of the rings is wack! No it ain't! Tom Fucking Bamballi! Tits! Flange! Outrage! It's Europe ain't it? Racist! Tits are good! Tits are bad! Racists! TITS! (cock)
Ive never understood the use of 'meta', in things such as 'meta data' or meta gaming'.
It's "information about the [noun]". So metadata is information about the data - who it was written by, or when, perhaps. Meta gaming is a bit different, and it means playing the game in a way that's not intended within the game. Sort of.
I shouldn't have stayed up till 1. Like Murtaugh, I'm too old for this shit.
Season one still rocked though; although, as someone who's never heard of the books let alone read them, I'd have preferred a conclusion to the story right there and then. It just seemed right to finish it rather than make it into a series. Still, I'm ready for more of the same when season two is released on sexy sexy Bloo Rayz.
Ain't it a shame that the Brits don't make awesome gorgeous series' like this. Where the hell is my tax money going BBC? Homes from Hell? Getthefuckouttahereyacants!

This and The Walking Dead are the only things I'm interested in watching these days. Season 2 has been fantabulous.
It looks gorgeous in super sexy Bloo Rayz-o vision.
The soundtrack is great.
The script is fabulous.
The characters all imbue me with loathing or the fear of what fate will befall them. There is no middle ground whatsoever.
I only wish they'd laid off with the number of whimsical folk. The fatty on The Wall was enough. The giant female knight is the only character that's a bit too silly. Not that having an ultra loyal female knight is silly it's just that she plays it like a lumbering buffoon.
Anyway, just settling down to episode 9...
...ooh, y'know who I like lots though? Jaqen. I loved his part in helping Arya.
