I agree. Clash of Kings was a great read. In fact after I was done with it I considered it only slightly underachieving of the promise A Game of Thrones started out with. Which isn't a knock, it's just very hard to follow up a masterpiece with another. But when I was done with A Storm of Swords; that's when I fully understood what George was trying to get across in Clash.
The Book of the New Sun had always been my favorite fantasy series; right up until the Red Wedding.
@diedahero ye man genius...i loved it..i only mid way through a east or crows a loving it the plot twists...a the end o a storm of words i was like wow..a twistbrought u right from the jon arryn start of it..its really unbelivable...to try not rin anything for anyone il change me wording or his bit...i cant wait to the scene of SAM THE PAYER...duno why but thts the one im waiting or most of anything:D
I warn you guys , finishing the series according to the books will break HBO budget , unless they cut many parts of it and then it will destroy the meaning .
@JustSivas58 Ha just wait , I am on the fifth book now Dance with dragons , I have to tell you the epicness of the rest of the books will make you forget about Ned
@JustSivas58 He was still only a POV character though, all the other main characters have equal screen time, hes only seen as the main character because Sean Bean was in all the Marketing promos
@ownedinthe2260 He's considered to be the main character in "A Game of Thrones" yes, but primarily because he has the most POV chapters. That's a fan conceit though. I don't think Martin has ever issued an opinion on it. The show is structured diferently from the book (because it has to be) therefore the concept of 'main characters' is a bit murky.
How can people complain about the little things in this show, when all together this is some awesome series they've made. The fact that they even made a series based on the book is like a dream come true, the little things don't matter when they story as a whole is the same.
@waitingformypopcorn Also, the writer of the books is one of the exec producers, so that means that whatever changes are made from the source material, he must have been somewhat okay with
I just love the between the lines message those books provide.
The real dangers loom behind the wall, yet All those foolish little men and their games of deception, they are too blind to see that, too busy plotting and conspiring against each other.
@ADirtDiggler That's true. But at the same time,Cat's a middle-aged woman who's already had five kids and who lives in the harsh north, she's not going to look like a lingerie model.
@ValAktaion Jesus H., sack up. Enjoy it for what it is and enjoy your imagination's version for what it is. I guarantee you most of us would think yours sucks too, and vice versa. I think this looks awesome.

i'm excited for this and i haven't even read the books. this seems a lot closer to "historic" political dramas like Rome than swords and sorcery "high/epic" fantasy. which is fine, i like getting with elf mages and killing orc type creatures as much as the next guy, but i also like the more "down to earth" stuff.
@ViruzNoob14 from what i remember of the books cercei is not the kind of woman you slap around.... and king robert is not the kind of manwho could stand up to her... fat drunk fool that he was...
@GOOFEEN my favorite fight in the first book. I expected his armor, and specially his shield, to be heavier, though.That's pretty much what the fight is about - the heavy vs. the agile.
@altheathepirate at 1:21 (right after the assassin and Catelyn part) is actually the duel between bronn and ser egan that takes place at the Eyrie. If you pause it you can see catelyn, lysa, and robin, lysa's kid (its been changed from robert to avoid confusion in the tv series) watching. that should be an epic scene.
I was half expecting Kayne West's "Power" to play over this, someone should do that.
