Game of Thrones on HBO

Yeah, it takes a while to get into it, but by the fourth episode or so I was pretty hooked. The last two in particular have been fantastic, and last night's ending was ridiculous (in a good way). I like that most of the characters are pretty fleshed out as well; in most fantasy stories a lot of these guys would be one note stereotypes, but in this one they're pretty multi-dimensional.

Peter Dinklage better get an Emmy.

The people making this show really know how to end an episode! Soooooo good.

And finally, we got a little HBO-style pointless lesbianism.

Uh, Syrio better not be dead after last night's episode because that guy was awesome.

I can't think of any shows that killed off their main character in the first season. What an ending!

Also is magic a real thing in this world? Because for the first few episodes I thought this place was basically the Middle Ages but on some other planet, with all the magic (like dragons) being part of far off legend. But then suddenly blood magic in Drogo's tent last night.

God, I hate cliff-hanger season finales. Waiting a whole year is going to suck.
