Rofl, I expected someone bigger, TBH. He's like over 7-foot in the book.

the series is excellent so far but dudes, "this will make lord of the rings look like twilight". No, not even close. Besides some buildings there is no cgi what so ever, no fantasy creatures and no spells. Even the wolves are simple dogs, I personally expected them to be monstrous beasts. Basically its just constant talking and scheming. Kind of a soap opera for the 21st century's ppl of quality.

so presence of cgi is your determining factor in how awesome a fantasy movie or show is?
when i said it makes LOTR look like twilight it was mostly about the plot. LOTR is wimpy in comparison.
im guessing you havent read the books so i wont spoil, but i think you will be pleased with the fantasy aspects of the show by the end of the season

Actor playing him is 7+ feet and 300+ pounds. Might not of looked huge due to being on horseback & the fact the dude he was fighting isn't exactly small.

few thoughts on the books + Show Spoiler +
i'm in the middle of the 3rd book and am getting pretty sick of reading it tbh....
seems like the writer tries to prolong the book a lot by stalling 20 chapters extra before characters can meet with each other..
the arya escapade tilted me lol... 30 chapters waiting for her to return to her family and then bam they die the moment she arrives
how about enough of the main characters dying? u start to get to know them, like them and then bam they're dead...
is it me or does the author need to get laid more often.. every woman that appears in the book he goes with some description like
"she was the cook.. but her tits they were firm, ripe for baby sucking nipples.. her vagina was good for baby delivering thus could take a good cock etc"
overall the quality of the books i find to be fair.. he has good ideas here and there.. the idea of killing main characters over and over is interesting but annoying to the reader i think ( at least me) and the delayed encounters by what seem like run on situations gets a bit tiresome
i find myself skimming through a lot of the parts as its useless info
i remember someone here saying the book is > lotr and all i can say is LOL.. that book i purposely read every detail as it was a joy to read it and they fit in whatever scene that was going on
I was pissed when Ned was killed as he was by far my favorite character in the book and now I'm where you are - halfway through the third book and just finished the chapter where Robb was killed. I was pissed yet again as the Starks just can't catch a fucking break and shouldn't the "good" prevail over the "evil"?
Then I took a dump and thought to myself that GRRM doesn't conform to the hollywood formula and this series is a breath of fresh air. But I am running out of characters that I respect and have come to enjoy reading only to have them killed .
You need this take this down. Alot of people, including myself assume that it's safe to read spoilers once the episode is cleared. You spoiled a pretty huge thing for me.

Wtf? I used spoiler tags and I was responding to another LPer's spoiler tag about his thoughts on the books. Maybe LP should have a spoiler tag within a spoiler tag? GG.
TheHuHu4 coming soon :)

a spoiler tag is like a red button that says "don't push me"
I click buttons.

There's a solid, strategically-deep board game based off of this universe as well.

I've seen just episode 1 and so far I definitely like it more than the LOTR movies. Maybe because there isn't so much (and such obvious) cgi, it all looks very real and dialogue/characters are realistic too. Seems like excellent book -> film adaptation (haven't read the books though heh)
My work is of high quality, cheap and fast. Pick only two of those though.

Starting the episode right now but is it only me or does anyone else watch the opening credits every time? Goddamn shit is epic.
haha yeah me too. one of the only shows i watch the opening credits everytime
such a sweet intro theme,here's a bit heavier version
great show so far,refreshing to see a fantasy plot that doesn't focus on "good vs evil", but on complex characters instead
new shit has come to light... a-and... shit! man...

really dig it so far. cant get the intro music out of my head.
are ppl that dont know the books able to keep up? those seperate locations and many characters gotta be confusing. Not impressed by the dothraki horde, its supposed to be huge, they have like 20 guys on horses. arya was great again.
