It's fantastic and I'm kind of mad at myself for not watching it sooner! I'm no where near as far as you but up to now I HATE the queen and LOVE the Imp/Dwarf. Still a bit hazy on names.

i love tyrion....i wont reveal any spoilers but i loved tyrion from the get go....he seemed the most honest even though he was a bugger for the ladies and the wine....

Ah yes, thats it. Loved him from the minute he told Jon Snow to uss his bastardness as armour so no one could hurt him with it. And he's utterly hilarious.

Honestly though, I don't think I have loathed a fictional character more than I loathe Cersei. What a bitch. And a bloody tramp too, shagging her brother. Boak.

happy I've been watching it from the start and I'm still hazy about a lot of the names too.

I got Tyrion very early on though. He's an unlikely crush.

HappyGoLuckyGirl · 10/04/2013 17:46

Definitely limited. It's very good, I really want the Blonde girls dragon eggs to hatch, though don't know how likely that is.

HighJinx · 10/04/2013 17:55

We watched season 1 last year then when DH bought the box set for season 2 we started watching them all again from the beginning again. Blush Like you we watched both series in 2 days. It was brilliant.

It's awful having to wait a week between episodes of Series 3 now. I did consider recording it all then watching the whole series together in a weekend but I can't wait.

I also love Tyrion and Ed Stark's daughter, Arya - the tomboy one is quite funny too.

I hate Joffrey almost as much as his mother.

Blonde dragon girl's name is Darys. Definitely one to watch. Not just because I keep looking for roots in her bleached hair and I haven't seen them yet. How do they do that?

moonshine · 10/04/2013 18:02

I've watched GoT from when it first came out after reading books 1 & 2 [smug]. DH scoffed at me but has recently done the same as you Vicar, watching series 1 & 2 over 3 days so that he can watch series 3 as he is now hooked.

Not only are there loads of great characters but great actors - it seems to be like the Harry Potter films with more and more British acting 'royalty' having parts in it.

moonshine · 10/04/2013 18:04

Think it's Daenerys Targaryen - I'm mesmorised by her eyebrows.

HerrenaHarridan · 10/04/2013 18:06

Danyrs is the dragon lady's name and I am hopelessly In love with her.

If you don't want to wait for the series but the books they are even better!

HighJinx · 10/04/2013 18:07

I even love the titles. The way they show you which places they will be visiting on that episode.

The characters are brilliantly written. I love hating the bad guys and rooting for the good ones. It reminds me of Lord of The Rings a bit.

limitedperiodonly · 10/04/2013 18:17

See, I told you I was rubbish at names. Still can't remember the name of her protector played by Iain Glen.

HighJinx · 10/04/2013 18:35

Ser Jorah Mormont - I have an embarrassing crush on him, especially his voice

HighJinx · 10/04/2013 18:38

His dad his Jeor Mormont - Lord Commander of the Black Watch.

CousinRachel · 10/04/2013 18:42

If the withdrawals get too bad get into the books Vicar, much more filth detail in them.

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 10/04/2013 18:44

the books are brilliant

HighJinx · 10/04/2013 18:44

Sorry I should have said that Ser Jorah Mormont is the character played by Iain Glen limited

Sorry if that wasn't clear

HighJinx · 10/04/2013 18:45

Books always are better than films or tv shows though aren't they?

Isn't George RR Martin still writing the series? (Of books I mean, not TV)

limitedperiodonly · 10/04/2013 18:49

Thanks highjinx. I'll try to remember that. I will fail.

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 10/04/2013 18:58

Yes books are always better - I got annoyed in the second series after the they diverted from the plot in the books GRRM was the exec producer on the series so he must have sanctioned/written it though. He's still writing the series - I'm hoping that he lives a loooong life Grin.

HappyGoLuckyGirl · 11/04/2013 02:54

Omg, YES! Dany hatched the eggs! Woo Grin

Yes, I am aware its almost 3 in the morning.

TheSmallPrint · 12/04/2013 17:56

I got series 1 as a box set in the sales at Xmas after someone recommended it. Two episodes in and I was hooked. I am watching series 3 now and it's still fantastic.
