Game of Thrones(HBO Series)

I agree. The only problem I have is substituting an actual climax for never ending cliff hangers. Kinda leaves me wanting after a while.

The ratings/acclaim for season 2 are much better than season 1 thus far. I think this show is soaring to success, personally.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I can see why someone would prefer The Wire or Breaking Bad to this show, I mean, you are essentially taking what are considered the best shows of all time and comparing this to them in its infancy. At least give it a chance to expand. I would guarantee that if season 3 plays out as well as it does in the book, people are going to putting it up there. Besides, as good as The Wire is, this entertains me much more. I would compare Game of Thrones more to a show like Lost, it's just extremely entertaining, but not really life changing.
Anyway, this season has been lacking in action somewhat, but the characters are so good that you don't even realize that. Just like last season, the beginning episodes are character development and then the poop hits the fan.

Best line ever:
"Do you want my brother to come in and help?"
Second-best line:
"I always hated crossbows... take too long to load."

Pretty much. The books are fairly graphic as well.
Or you could watch 6 seasons stretched out over 8 years and have it end with a black screen and "Don't Stop Believing" playing.

Anyone still watching this? Latest one was crazy- someone killed off early. It was surprising.

It kind of surprised me when I read the books. As for Brienne of Tarth, man did they pick the perfect actress for that part. Just looking at her gives me nightmares. One thing that annoys me about the show, they changed Asha Greyjoy's(Theon's sister) name to Yara Greyjoy because Asha sounds too much like Osha and people might get confused.

I agree.
Overall this season has been somewhat disappointing for me so far. They're rushing and conflating a lot of story elements to a much greater extent than they did in season 1. They really should have pushed for this season to be a few episodes longer... a 12-episode season instead of 10 might have made all the difference.
