ASOIAF / Game of Thrones (SPOILERS INSIDE)

[Zadrian]

Just watched the first Episode last night..

They're really in your face about trying to be vulgar and show you boobs. Pretty sure at least 3 different characters said, "I just wanna fuck girls!" or something similar

Not that I'm opposed to vulgarity in any way, it just seemed forced. Episode 2 tonight.

I've never actually read the books before. I walked into a book store once and considered reading them, but I decided against it. I never got into medieval fantasy when it came to books. I tried reading Dragonlance once. I got the first 3 books and read 1.5 of them - then just burned out.

I'll probably give ice and fire a try at some point.

As far as the first episode goes, I can understand that they are trying to portray characters as scumbags as we would see them in real life. That seems to be the popular way of directing nowadays (Breaking Bad, Walking Dead etc). It just seemed like they tried too hard to be edgy establishment in the first episode - but then again, I guess you gotta hook people somehow.

I made the mistake of watching the South Park episode before watching actual GoT, so when the intro song came on, all I heard was, "Wieners, wiener wieners..."
