Has HBO ever made a show that wasn't awesome?
Regards,

Yes. But I can agree that shows on HBO are of a far higher quality than any other channel.
I watched the first episode twice, and I'll do the same with the second. If the quality keeps up, I can put this series on the shelf alongside my other 'good' rated films (I am a harsh critic. The Godfather and pretty much every top rated film on IMDB didn't make it to my shelves. Over-rated they are.)
Is it me or did anyone notice that the locations change in the opening credits corresponding to the setting for that specific episode (i.e. Pentos vs Lekh Dothraki)?
Cheers, Julien

Yes, I noticed that too. It's a good way to give people who haven't read the books an idea of the geography without wasting time. I'm also watching 'Camelot' the Starz production - which has beautiful production values but....seems to be missing something.

That's cold. Heh heh.

Best show this year hands down, can't wait for Friday, well Saturday for me, with the show being uploaded for those of us outside the states.
Game of Thrones television opener
The opener for HBO's new Game of Thrones series is an incredible piece of cartographic animation. Check it out:

This is very quickly becoming my favorite show. Ever. I can't wait until season 2 of AMC's Walking Dead starts; my brain will explode with a combination of zombie and fantasy goodness every weekend.
