I'm going to have to admit that I think The Wire is better.

My wifes parents have HBO, but they don't know how to log into hbo go online so we use that account to watch stuff.

It is a bit flaky though.. but can't complain for free.

I love the people who think this is a revelation...

Pretty good Fantasy book series...not my favorite, but pretty good. It's gotten so many people reading the books (so I guess this is a good thing)...it's 'new' for a lot of people and they act like they just discovered it all by themselves and want to tell you about how good it is. It's like, "Ummmm yeah I know". "I'm on Book 3, what Book are you on?" "yeah I read them years ago, and then re-read them waiting forever on A Dance With Dragons..." "Oh. Don't tell me what happens."


I DO like how HBO has committed to doing the series right (high production value).

There's some delight in ale and wine,
And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

I just started watching Game of Thrones today... a little bit after I saw Mithans post actually. I've had it, just never got around to watching it so thought I'd give it a try.

Though I haven't seen much yet, I do agree with Rho that The Wire is an awesome series. I wish it never ended lol. It's kind of cool since I've watched the wire, I've seen I think a couple of the actors in other shows. Omar was one, I can't remember the other.

As you keep watching GoT, keep your eye out for Mayor Carcetti . . .

Amazing series. I'm really glad HBO stayed true to the books.
