Yeah brilliant start. Oberyn looks like he's going to be a cracking character, and the partnership between The Hound and Arya just keeps getting better and better. I'm starting to think GOT maybe the one that finally takes sopranos.

The boy in stripped pyjamas
thought provoking or what?

I've been loving it edit: although the savagery is a little extreme at times... the inevitable spread-eagling is on the way. Hilarious mix of myth and pseudo-history, I mentioned it to a friend who is enjoying it, amongst other things, for the hairstyles and axe-porn.'Vikings' well into its second series now. The History channel is hosting this series though it wouldn't be out of place on HBO. There's only so many ways you cleave someone with an axe so they put in a crucifixion this week just to mix things up a bit. Yet another loss by the Saxons in England, you would have thought they would have managed at least a score draw by now.
These are my folkTo put that sentence in context see the BBC documentary Border Country if you're quick (2 episodes, narrated by Rory Stewart MP for Penrith & Borders), nice to have history based on 'my' Lancaster/Cumbria/Yorkshire/Northumbria/Borders, not as focused as the Anglo-Saxons documentary was, but that was only about England, and only 50-odd years. Here we have everything including Romans, Welsh speaking Rheged, tedious Anglo-Saxon golden age of Northumbria, there due comeuppance à la series 1 of Vikings (that was so funny, especially the look on Æthelstan's face when he realized what he'd done), Viking Cumbria stretching all the way to Glaschu, with hill farming and what you ought to know about the cairn at Dunmail Raise, WHY THE ENGLISH WILL NEVER BE FORGIVEN (parts i & ii), monasteries and more sheep, Robert the Bruce as a Borderer, then later Reivers and so on. Everything aside from the plaintive 'Scotland don't leave us' at the end, which kind of goes against the rest of the story.

Game of Thrones will have to work hard to match the passion in my previous post! (And I thought passion was dead around here, but then I had a look at the football thread).
It seemed a slow start to me, more of a build-up episode. They do have a lot of characters so they don't get a lot of screen time, and it requires a lot of commitment to interpret anything as character development. Arya & The Hound looking good as you say, Ygritte had her brief moment, we'll see how it goes.
I looked at some of the books and decided that they were nothing I would spend time reading (purple prose amongst other criticisms), so I don't know what's coming, although I just discovered that it is very easy to accidentally find spoilers via Google auto-complete suggestions!
Hope you saw the story about the school-teacher
And Maisie Williams' (16-yr old Arya actress) feminist angle on marriage. Or just a phase.
Last of this seasons True Detective tonight. It's on 'record' - do you still say that nowadays? Have to wait until the smallest of the small people (who are nearly all taller than me) have gone to bed.....come on, the anticipation is killing me.
Breezy have you stuck with it?
