Game Of Thrones may be a bit much for viewing on the train.
Who plays the queen? I can't place her.

Lena Headey.
Sarah Connor from the Sarah Connor Chronicles, and she was also in 300.
New series starts in April, I believe?

April the 1st apparently. I'm gagging for it as I loved the last series. I thought it would at least be alright given the pedigree of the actors and studio involved but I wasn't really prepared for just how fucking excellent it was. Even the into and music are brilliant ffs.
She's from 300 and Sarah Conner Chronicles.

Hah! That'll teach me read the last page of a thread before posting.
Ak, I've just realised there's an S01E00 - did I miss anything?
There is? If so, I haven't seen it.
I would think that's the pilot. I seem to recall it has a different woman playing Sean Bean's wife.
If it's the same thing as shown here then it's just a sort of preview thing that the US networks seem to go in for to generate interest in shows. I've also seen them done just before the start of later seasons of some shows to not only whip up a bit of interest but to remind people of where the story's up to as a refresher before the new season actually starts.
Kissed by fire:
It's a bit bloody good this, isn't it? I just wish it wouldn't suddenly cut to "naked woman getting banged from behind" while I'm on the train.
You should try watching Spartacus on the train 
One of the of the things about this story, book and TV show, is that there's just tits everywhere.
You'll also see knob and flange before the series ends, plus some fair amount of gore, which never quite cuts away soon enough. Expect to see young chaps 'pulling out' then standing there, chap out, looking rather pleased with themselves (as I would be if I'd just banged who they'd just banged).

There's an episode later in the season where a five minute long chunk of expository dialogue is delivered by Mayor Carcetti at the same time as he graphically coaches two naked prostitutes in putting on a convincing lesbian sex show. So, that'll be fun for your fellow passengers.
I don't mind, as long as I've got time to pick my Fire up and sort-of angle it away from other people. Normally it sits on a table

Lucking the person next to you won't need to borrow your spare headphones to enjoy that scene 
Oh, and I'm not a table sitting commuter, can't be dealing with the foot fights. I'll inevitably find myself sitting across from a big guy, with big feet and long legs, probably engrossed in watching boobies on a kindle fire or something...

I'm willing to guess 'probably'. As long as there are no obviously underage kids around you at the time though I don't imagine it's an issue.

Ta.
Nearly done with book 2 and just seen ep 6 but I have to make a point and ask a question... Book/series 2 spoiler below...

I think it was.
That bit raised an eyebrow at the Squirt homestead as well. I managed to totally forget that whole relationship if it was in the books.
I'm currently halfway through the most recent book - I still have no idea how it'll all end ( if it ever does ).
My current guess is

It all depends on Jon's parentage, which has all but been stated directly by book 5. The implications of that will be jolly important, though of course Martin will fuck everyone over just to break our hearts plenty over the remaining two volumes, if that's what we get.
I'd keep reading book five if I were you, though.

Ooooh, either I missed that bit, or forgot it, or haven't got there yet. In that case, I rescind my above guess and go for something totally different!

In whatever book they happen again, then, bearing in mind the imagery used, look for references to the same things regarding other characters in all five books. It bears out.
Or, you could just do a Google of this stuff using the appropriate words, but I'd leave that until you've finished "Dance". It's being raked and re-raked like a zen garden on the forums, and those tend to be full of spoilers.
Question for you though...

I've totally sucked MrsP into the TV series. She pretended to not be watching it, but when the Dothraki were speaking foreign (and the stupid DVD rip that I have failed to offer subtitles, /firstworldproblems) she was annoyed and asked me what they were talking about.
Horses and grass.
and that other thing that they do.
When does series 2 air in the US?
[edit]Oh, April 1st at 9pm, so about the same time as it does here. I hoped it would be earlier.

Or you're on Virgin.
Also that. Hence your picture of the expensive and entirely none-Game-of-thrones-showing Tivo, yes?

Yup. I watch it on my Fire anyway, so I'm not that concerned.

It's on. After Seinfeld!
I thought it was as slow and dull an episode as we've ever had. All glowering and no deflowering. Not sure about the castings of Melisandre, Stannis or Craster. Or Slynt.
Still, better than anyhitng else on telly, so what can you do?

I have complained mightily at the casting of Craster many a time.
Just finished "After the Feast". Huh. Now I'm even more uncertain where this is going to end up.

Well that's you, me and probably Mr Martin as well.
Any idea when Season 1 will be on UK iTunes? It is on US iTunes now, and the DVDs are out here. I just don't want the faff of switching machines/iTunes accounts.
Series 2 is showing some serious signs of deviation from the book, so far.
