So, If you have been paying attention, I have adverticed the GoT for some time and now, I decided to open a thread for this great Tv series.
For those who don't know the series:
"Game of Thrones is an American medieval fantasy television series created for HBO by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. The series is based on author George R. R. Martin's best-selling A Song of Ice and Fire series of seven planned fantasy novels, the first of which is called A Game of Thrones."
"Set in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, where "summers span decades and winters can last a lifetime," Game of Thrones chronicles the violent dynastic struggles among the kingdom's noble families for control of the Iron Throne;"
TRAILER:

I haven't watched the TV series yet (I'm wanting to, though, because I've heard such great things about it), but I read the first three books in school and I just bought the book set not too long ago so I can get caught up on them again before I watch the TV series. I think the books are really great, though.

I'm currently reading the first book, and I'm almost done with it. While it's starting to drag on a little bit, I feel like it's because the first book is entirely dedicated to setting up the plotlines for the rest of the series (tell me if I'm wrong, because that's a complete guess). I have the second book as well. Also, I bought the first season of the show. I haven't watched it yet, but I will as soon as I'm done with the book. I can't wait; I've heard it's amazing. Also, has anyone heard of the band Blind Guardian? If not, I HIGHLY recommend them. I bought an album by them a while ago, and realized very recently that all this time there were not one but two songs on the album about this series. The first is "War of the Thrones." I'm not sure what aspect of the series it's about, but it's a beautiful song regardless. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfVNbZEhxMIThe second is much heavier, and I believe it's about Bran when he fell from the tower in the first book. It's called "A Voice in the Dark." www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VfXoQCCizA
