It seems the writer has never met a geeky girl. Or, as Felicia Day put it via twitter, "Nobody puts geek girls in a corner!"
Girls don't read fantasy! Or long books! Icky!
I guess all the telepathic dragons and cats I remember from my fantasy-reading days as a teen were targeted at boys?
And the unicorns.
Ooh, i hadn't given any thought to opening credits, those were cool!
That was great.
I can't wait 'til next week.
Is Game of Thrones worth watching if you haven't read the books?
I think so, if you like this sort of story. It's not like you won't be able to follow what's going on, they are doing a really good job of conveying all the information you need so far.
I forgot that I had meant to re-read AGoT before the series started until this afternoon, so I just read the first 80 pages, figuring that was a tenth of the book. Just about right for this episode, so maybe I will keep doing that.
