Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. Political and sexual intrigue abound. The primary families are the Stark, Lannister, and Baratheon families. Robert Baratheon, King of Westeros, asks his old friend Eddard Stark to serve as his chief advisor. Eddard, suspecting that his predecessor had been murdered, accepts so that he can investigate further. It turns out more than one family is plotting to take the throne. The Queen's family, the Lannisters, may be hatching an incestuous plot to take control. Across the sea, the last surviving members of the previously deposed ruling family, the Targaryens, are also plotting a return to power. The conflict between these families and others, including the Greyjoys, the Tullys, the Arryns, and the Tyrells, leads to war. Meanwhile, in the north, an ancient evil awakens. Amidst war and the political confusion, a brotherhood of misfits, The Night's Watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and the horrors beyond.

Zwaar over-hyped.
@tiagoh hehe :P
@avanish I think I see what you did there. lol
We found what the black smoke really is, if you know what i mean...
@Tante they seem to be more ambitious than they were with the first season. there are much more scenes that weren't in the book, and some of them are good for some character development, especially for the characters that do not have a POV in the books. i'm liking it, let's see if they keep it like this.
It starts to be only about tits and torture, the story really gets kind of weaker every week...
Those who've read the books should be glad that the series is starting to take its own path. Now you guys have mystery too :D
In this fourth episode (season 2) they are definitely starting to change things compared to when and how they happened in the books. Mostly switching around the timeline so far, but really curious how the situation at Harrenhal is going to play out now...

This just in from HBO: Game of Thrones has been renewed for a third season!

First episode was a disappointment. They've changed too much comparing to the book
shit was epic
Would be the best april fools joke ever.
5 hours :D
One more day...
I cannot wait another week!
@Lemon Yes the books are totally worth to read, as somebody like yourself who didn't read nothing, I started reading the complete serie after season 1 ended.
Right now am at book 4 (slow reader i know lol)
Like Tiagoh mentioned about the descriptions are true. But don't let this be are reason for staying a way.
@Lemon Completely worth it. Sometimes Martin (the author, of course) gets a little bit repetitive in the descriptions, but besides that, I find it amazing. I mean, he creates the perfect world here, with such interesting characters and incredibly delivered plot lines and twists.
If it is ok for a beginner? Of course, very accessible and I bet you'll get stuck to it. You should give it a try!
