I'm really looking forward to the series. So far so good from the previews I've seen. I'm always hesitant when they convert a book to a movie/series
ASoIaF pilot greenlit on HBO
Hopefully series order soon..

"Ignoring him, she stepped back out of the ellipse and began singing in the Woman's Language, which was, of course, unintelligible to Iskaral's ears. Just as the Man's Language-which Mongora called gibberish-was beyond her ability to understand. The reason for that, Iskaral Pust knew, was that the Man's Language was gibberish, designed specifically to confound women."

Yup, the final two episodes haven't been named yet. I imagine they'll be:
9: Don't Lose Your Head!
10: Eggsellent!
A major and very positive review from THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER. As one of the two major US entertainment trade papers, this is a pretty big deal:

Barely a few minutes into HBO’s epic Game of Thrones series, it’s clear that the hype was right and the wait was worth it.
It’s difficult to single out the most accomplished parts of Thrones. The ambition is immense, the fantasy world exceptionally well-conceived, the writing and acting elevating the entire series beyond contemporaries like The Borgias and Camelot, and the visual appeal continues to surprise with each episode.

I'm going to hold off until Friday I think, and then watch it with my fellow fan boy when I visit him.

Well, every bit of the series so far looks and sounds and feels like Westeros without any doubt, always, so it's bound to be a masterpiece. You don't see a fantasy world being understood THIS well very often. And the cast! Casting is an art of it's own, and the people that cast this crew should be made saints or something.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

So good. Arya hitting the bulls eye was great. I can't wait to see the opening credits sequence for the actual debut.

Damn I should have read this before starting a new thread...
I thought it was awesome, but as I said on the other thread I thought the Others and the Wight's look too similar. Both have blue eyes and look zombie like. The Others are supposed to be ethereal with swords that look to be made from glass...

I really hope this series doesn't suffer from the constant "Previously on..." and "Next time on..." headers and footers that shorten the actual content by a good 5 or 10 minutes per episode. American shows do tend to go over the top on that sort of thing, and it is extremely annoying.

Man... Has the same bleak and brooding atmosphere that I always imagined it would have. Very annoyed when it finished I could have kept watching for ages!
