If you've got Sky... (I don't think there will be single post on this thread apart from this one)

No GOT for me because I don't have Sky. But I tried reading a sample download on Kindle and decided very quickly that I hated it! I enjoyed Tolkien in my 20s and when my children were reading him, but I don't think I'd have the patience in my old age!

I'm not fond of the Nordic fantasy - found Tolkien unreadable...
So I avoid Game of Thrones - plus the fact that it hasGame in the title... That is almost as likely to put me off as if it had been Celebrity!

The "this" didn't go blue, but it works, how weird. Anyway, it's Vikings I'm on about.

Husband's GOT watching time, is my free time. I don't get it.

I think I will get into this series in a big way, I love that it is on the History channel.

My family are all hooked but I just don't fancy it, I am not keen on dragons!!
You did get replies Jings

I can't be the only person watching this series on Sky? Anyway, it's so good, when the episode ends, I want to watch the next one immediately. The cast are suberb, such good acting, the sets and countryside are amazing, also the dragons.Yes, it has gory and brutal scenes [but doesn't linger on them] but the acting, plot, dialogue is all so great that you get really into it.I haven't read the books, although other books by this author are well written and enjoyable, he has such an imagination.I loved his Wild Cards books.

Mind you, I have to repeat, we don't have Sky so will have to wait for the box set. unless I can get an illegal download

Mollie It's the scale of it. The depth and breadth of it. And the characters. And the interweaving story. And the knowing what horrors are still to come after having read the books.

Mind you, the final book has n't been written yet. So who knows who will eventually win the "Game of Thrones"!

I haven't looked at the blued bit Jingl but are we talking Game Of Thrones? We have Sky so have watched this series from the start. The 4th season is due to start at Easter I think.It's brilliant !!!!!!! great acting by [most] action, good and often witty dialogue, adventure etc

I have Sky but never seen this series - have wondered what made it so popular but apparently this coming series is even more gory and shocking than before so that's put the lid on it for me. Perhaps someone who does can say why it's so good?

DS and DIL raved about it - unfortunately I missed it all. Perhaps l'll look out for the box sets.

I remember you saying how much you enjoyed the books , so is a real treat for you !

I don't have Sky but I shall buy all the box sets when they are cheap enough on Amazon or e.bay.

I really fancy it. Enjoy jings.
