I know there was a Game of Thrones thread a longish time ago, but back then all I knew was that it was a series of books. But my son and I just finished watching season two, and we're totally hooked. (He's reading book two now.) I was skeptical at first (just looked like some HBO fantasy soft porn to me), but I have to say, it's Tolkien, Anne McCaffrey, and "I, Claudius" (and who knows what else?) in a blender, and extremely absorbing. the ending of season two was stirring, to say the least. Good timing on our part, too, since season three starts so soon.
No spoilers, please! But I'd be interested to find out who else here is watching the show, reading the books, etc. and maybe we can discuss it in a non-spoiler way, somehow.
