I only saw a few episodes, but it looked great. The books are fantastic, you just don't want to put them down.

The second book was the very first I read from the saga a few years back, and hooked me, it remains my favorite to this day. If the episodes of season 2 are half as good, the series could go on for a while, however the third book will ultimately have to become 2 seasons.. :-D

For some reason, this thread inspired me to start watching this show.
On episode 3 now. Wow, I love it!

I have read all except Dance of Dragons, I was kinda disappointed with the TV series, I thought Tyrion was well played and his dad, Sean Bean was very good too, but I wasnt crazy about the rest of the cast and....dire wolves played by...huskies?

Reading now the 5th book. The books are just awesome and the first season did a decent job in capturing the atmosphere. Looking forward to season 2 to refresh my memories.

The dire wolf pups (important detail there) were actually played by Northern Inuit dogs. One of the few complaints about season 1 by fans of the books was that the dire wolves were underused, and I agree. The creators explained that this was mainly due to budget/technical reasons -- ie. they did not have the money to do a proper CGI version of the wolves and thus did what they could with the dogs. The issue has also been addressed in several interviews regarding season 2, which presumably received a much larger budget, where the creators have acknowledged that they want the (now maturing) wolves to play a bigger role and be handled better, and most likely with CGI... just like a certain other trio of creatures that plays an integral part in the books.
I absolutely loved the first season and thought the casting was stellar. IMO it is the best fantasy production since Lord of the Rings and I can't wait for season 2 :-)

Can't wait. Love the books, love the show. I thought the casting was excellent and felt that Jon, Robb and Arya were all perfectly portrayed. Sansa was a bit off but nothing major, and Joffery is perfect, I hate him as much in the show as I do in the books haha. Season 2 is gonna be awesome and a lot more 'fantastical' for a number of reasons, 3 in particular.
