When they say this is fantasy what do they mean? Are we talking Lord of the Rings stuff or are we talking Odyssey stuff?
Trying to decide if I should invest my time in watching these since they are all on my TV on demand.
Thanks and sorry if this has been covered in the 5 pages, but I imagine that there are a ton of spoilers in the 5 pages if I do decide to watch it.

Its been said that it's Lord of the Rings meets Sopranos. It's definitely worth your time.

I know..definitely could have done with that scene over the gay sex scene.

That was my chief complaint; I don't really care if Loras and Renly get it on, but don't put that in only to cut out the Melee (I wanted to see the dude with the fire swords) and the ascent to the Eryie, especially leaving out the Blackfish, who's a fairly important character.
Also, there's been minimal involvment with the wolves AND Bran's dreams. Those are, uhh, kind of important.
Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

This. Thoros of Mir was a BAMF. We need him in the show.

I would recommend to anyone that is enjoying this show to read the books. The books are much better and there are 4 of them right now with a fifth on the way. You will have to wait a long time for all of the seasons come out.

Agreed. Also as the seasons progress (or you get further along in the books) there are a ton of characters. It might help you keep them all straight if you have already read the books.

They have already ordered another season so I imagine that will get rid of some of the worries of them forcing a bunch of it into the last 5 episodes.

well I know the knight of flowers seemed a little light in the loafers, and I remember a comment being made about Renley, but throwing the two together I never picked it up.

I think that most who read the books and were watching last night were thinking WTF? I know I was.

I never did either but I am on another board and we talk about the books all the time. They are the ones that pointed it out to me.

I think it was a situation where HBO wanted more taboo sex. GRRM had already (as Aussie pointed out) hinted at the situation so he probably agreed with the mind frame that you have to choose your battles. Of coarse he has incest as a central theme in his books so what is a little gay sex thrown in?

The dude's personal guard wore rainbow colored capes and Stannis made several references that his wife would never get with child in Renly's bed...

The first season is based on the first book..at least thats what I read when the series was in production. I'm thinking that there is still a ton of material from the first book to cover 5 episodes.

I was thinking they moved very quickly to get to this point with 5 episodes left. I think they're going to do the last 100 or so pages nearly word for word, so they kind of needed to rush to get there.
Wish the season was 15 episodes long instead of 10. So much is being left out (and it's STILL a great show).
Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

I think a Storm of Swords was probably my favorite.

I agree. Daenerys and her special companions (trying not to give anything away for those who haven't read the books) are my favorite characters in the books and if I remember correctly A Storm of Swords featured them more than the other books. I am really looking forward to the next book. Isn't is scheduled to come out soon?

July I believe. Martin actually said it is finished. Maybe after five years I will finally get to find out what happens next.
