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.

I found a great article on how they plan to keep it going for a long time, as long as they have books to shoot seasons for. The article says they won't cancel it early and also explains why they only did 10 episodes.

I'm watching 1x08 right now and I gotta say, Catelyn's sister still breastfeeding that ugly retarded kid is kinda fucked up.
Anyway, awesome show, really got me hooked.
Wow. I was actually just going to watch the second episode today, but seems I just finished the season. Great show, definately looking forward to season 2.
Natalie Dormer is joining for season 2. She played Anne Boleyn on The Tudors.
Personally, I think this is great news. She was my favorite part of The Tudors and in my opinion her performance for season 2 was one of the most underrated out there. She should have won every award for that season, which she mostly carried alone.

@Gaia Quality > Quantity
@Gaia : The ending of this season is also the ending of book #1
Why such a short season :( I was expecting at least 2 - 3 more eps.
the last episode left me with hunger for more!
