I know that I am very very late for the party but over the past week or two I watched the entire series (hadn't seen a single episode before). Absolutely loved it, might get the books. Cannot wait for series 3 to start either. Also I can't help but be in love with Daenerys.

It helps that the actress is incredibly beautiful in the series. Character wise I also really like her, although her story didn't progress too much in the last few episodes.

Even if you're not serious, I'm going to pretend you are and use this as proof that not all heroes wear capes.

Fix'd for me.

But you'll love the books Sander! You will get so much more details and backstory that it's amazing! Also, just try to keep track of the gazillion of characters that will appear. :lol I think there's something like over 1000 named characters so far.

How lucky are we ASOIAF fans that our beloved book series was turned in to a t.v. series that not only doesn't suck, but is freaking amazing?!

Well, some of us think that the show actually sucks :P I'm lucky not to be one of them.  :azn:

Also, just try to keep track of the gazillion of characters that will appear. :lol I think there's something like over 1000 named characters so far.

A couple of days ago I had this name in my head (Harry Strickland) and it took me a couple of minutes to realize where it came from  :lol

All caught up with season 2. I feel ashamed I totally didn't keep with it last year. I'm hoping to change that this year

Saw this posted at Winter is Coming:

https://www.youtube.com/user/schoolofthrones

It's fan-made high school parody of Game of Thrones. Fans who lack a sense of humor are already cringing at it, (admittedly, it is kind of ridiculous) but there are a lot of little references to the books, the girl who plays Sansa is pretty hot, and  :lol at the Greyjoys.

I laughed more that I should've at "we are Starks, our way is the vintage way" *touches hipster glasses*

The girl playing Sansa and the one playing Melisandre are pretty hot!

 :laugh:

Rewatching the series to gear up for the new ones. This is such an awesome show. I'll read the books one day, but for now this has my undivided interest. I've only seen them once and I really wasn't into it for some reason, and after watching the first episode now I'm hooked. Dunno. I'm into it all of a sudden so woot for S3! *Starts S01E03*

Just came to ask that question: How do you guys prepare for season 3?

Do you re-watch all the seasons?
Re-watch the last episode?
Recap by reading online or something?
Do nothing and instead watch the recap before S03E01?

I don't have time to re-watch all the seasons but i still hate the feeling of being lost in the story in the beginning of a new season. I might re-watch the last episode.

I've been reading the books since the summer and rewatched the first two seasons after reading each of the first two books so I've been pretty up to date.
