HBO Series - Game of Thrones Renewed for Season 2

[dragonheart]

So happy to see that GOT has already been renewed for Season 2, after airing only one episode!

I am so excited to have something new and interesting to watch on Sunday nights and I am loving reading the books (thanks rigil_kent for introducing these to me)

I am also pumped about the new HBO GO feature.  If you subscribe to HBO, you can watch any episode - any time on your computer. iphone and ipad apps coming 05/02/11.

Life is good!!!!

What is this show about?

Because NZ fails at airing most decent American and British shows I am intrigued and want to find out about it before I find a virus free way to watch it online.

It's based off of George RR Martin's fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire.

Rigil_Kent turned me onto the books right as HBO came out with the series. Only one episode has aired, but if the rest are as good as that one - count me as a fan of the show - I am already a fan of the books.

Visually stunning, great acting - lots of sex and nudity - which doesn't bother me in the slightest - lots of blood and gore - which doesn't bother me either

so all in all - a great way to spend my Sunday evenings

Interesting ... I don't read/watch much fantasy as I'm quite a logical person and much prefer crime novels but I might try and read one of his books it sounds very interesting.

Well that just dispelled every single assumption/stereotype I had about Christians who live in Southern States.

I live in the world of logic - I am an engineer in RL - and though like you I tend to prefer crime drama, a part of me really enjoys fantasy - I blame the Lord of the Rings triology.
I find it balances me.

giggle*snort - not all of us are uptight bitties - some of us are actually fun - like me! yeap, I am Christian and I like sex - alot - and I don't mind violence as long as it is make believe - I abhor violence in the real world - and I can drink you under table (of course when you come of drinking age, because I can't contribute to the deliquency of a minor) what is the legal drinking age in NZ? Here it is 21.

I'll check out the books as I never judge a book by it's genre except romance (erotica is a much better use of trees)

I'm sorry that must have seemed rather ignorant of me but all I've ever seen are the crazy OTT Christians on TV who were protesting at dead soldiers funerals . We actually have similar values, I hate RL violence but like it on TV especially kick-ass women.

Here it's 18 so eleven more months.

I don't think you are ignorant - far from it. You have your head on straighter than most adults and your only 17 -

And I can say with confidence that God has a special place in hell reserved for that bunch of lunatics - Christians they are not - even though they claim that name - urggh. I dispise them.

Why thank you.

I think most people regardless of religion or lack of would agree with you there.

And since you actually celebrate Happy Easter *hands over hot cross buns*

Thank you my dear!
