A Game Of Thrones: To the point of the TV show, no spoilers beyond that

Doing a season 3 marathon tonight because I'm bedridden and it's what cool people do on Saturday nights. I'll write a detailed ish review of episodes I get to if I'm feeling up to it. Stoked.

Btw, has anyone been to Storm Crow Tavern? Every Sunday is GoT night and I've been meaning to go.

Don't live in BC, but went to Storm Crow with my buddy this summer. Kept getting the Somic Screwdriver.

I can't believe I haven't heard of this place before. Going to definitely check it out.

Read the HBO watch list and saw they had the Dark Tower series as a possible future option. Please for the love of gawd make the DT series in the same vein as GOT.

you mean porn? please no. hbo was a great channel (six feet under, the wire, sopranos, oz) but now it turned into sh*t. i don't believe they have the right crew to adapt the complicated world of the dark tower. at this point, FX, AMC or Netflix will be better choices.

All depends on your taste. I can't stand SFU or the Wire. Sopranos I could take or leave. Oz I haven't seen. But GoT is a masterpiece, so true to the books yet so vividly different. You could not have adapted these books better.

I don't know what kind of porn you have been watching.....

Anyways, GOT has lots of nudity/sex because the books have lots of nudity/sex. That is my point. HBO won't shy away from the original story because certain people are overly sensitive about sexuality (but somehow still enjoy someone being decapitated by a shotgun blast). I want all of the dirt, grit and language in the DT series to make it on screen and HBO is more likely to do a better job of it than neutered networks like FX and AMC.

so you're saying you prefer tv shows that insult your intelligence?

I can't wait for Luciferase to see these comments.

The irony of that video is lost on me... it's not porn. If anyone actually watches porn and HBO they know the difference. To equate the two is plain silly.

Anyways the nudity in HBO shows are relatively tamed (for my standards) I don't know what the big fuzz is. GoT and Sopranos are winners because of the story, the acting and the production. The sex and nudity adds some entertainment value but doesn't really make the show better or worse.
