Well I did it the opposite way round, read the books then watched the TV Show but I don't think it would spoil the books, I think you'll find that you'll get more of an understanding of the characters and where they come from, what their relationships with other characters are etc. plus you get extra bits that the TV Show hadn't time to put in

Ok thanks Niamh, i'll definitely give it a look. I think it's going to become my new favorite show. I need something to replace LOST and as much as I like the Walking Dead, it doesn't connect to me as much as LOST did.

Oh and I don't know how the rest of you feel but I think Game of Thrones as the most epic theme song and opening credits ever, i'm listening to the theme song on repeat now!! :hugesmile:

I agree Raph about Game Of Thrones having an epic theme tune.

Filming for Season 3 is almost done now, they have filmed everything apart from the scenes in Iceland (the Night's Watch stuff)

season 3's been given a premiere date of March 31st

Still seems so long away but it will here before you know it.. still need to get Season 1&2 on DVD

Cool some videos about what season 3 is going to be like.

Hang on a minute where is Stannis in that video

Killed off in between Season 2 and 3

That's sad as I wanted to see my Mom's reaction to Stannis again.

Btw I know you're joking Myron lol.

is your mum a fan of King Stannis?

No she hates him with a fiery passion.:joker:

I honestly don't get the hate for him though.

The next series of Game Of Thrones will be "super-sized", say showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss.

Season three of the HBO fantasy show will feature ten individual episodes - the same number as seasons one and two - but each episode will last slightly longer.

Talking to Entertainment Weekly, Weiss explained: "There's almost another full episode's worth of extra minutes spread across the season. One of the great liberties with HBO is we're not forced to come in at a specific time. We can’t be under 50 minutes or over 60, but that gives us a lot of flexibility."

Echoing his partner, Benioff promised a "super-sized season", then added: "Last year we had a lot of 52-minute episodes. This year is a lot of 56, 57."

The pair also revealed that the season finale may run over an hour, prompting Weiss to conclude: "So for people clamouring for another episode, it's in there. It's just been cut into tiny pieces."

Season 3 really does need it, it will be much better than 1&2
