Game of Thrones, Season 2

I have to admit that the series is pretty good… I am definitely feeling more favorable towards season two than I had season one. Is it just me, or does HBO have sex on the brain?? Yes, sex played a role in the books but I guess I never felt it was so prominent. I will give the producers kudos for their evil skills at creating cliff-hangers. Tonight’s episode left me feeling utterly violated. The final scene was actually quite true to the book to my memory and I was swearing when I realized what time it was. So yeah, they got me coming back next Sunday night. If you haven’t read the books yet you absolutely should otherwise you really are missing out. Having enjoyed other series on HBO (like Rome and Arthur) I can say this is another win but I still think the books are better and I am still waiting for the release date for book 6!!
