I like both Game of Thrones and Madmen. Of the two, I like Madmen much more.

Wait a second I was just coming back to this thread to let people know that over PM Evenbob had convinced me to give up Game of Thrones. He made some good points and challenged me to think anew about watching it.


The bible is much worse in terms of violence than Game of Thrones.

I can't watch Ned Stark without humming that Randy Newman song.

I won't watch anymore, but I do think it is a shame that Evenbob didn't get a chance to watch the episodes involving the Sparrow, I feel like he would enjoy its critque on religion.

Just finished episode 9 of season 3
Wow. In total shock.


Fans of the books knew that the Red Wedding was coming on the show, and naturally decided to film their friends and family's horrified reactions to it when it initially aired.

This never gets old to me, I could watch it a million times:

Book 1 "Game of Thrones"
Kindle. 6 bucks and change
I'm currently reading Take Down by James Swain
So may decide to finish the TV series then read the book, or more probably, books :-)
