5 clips from the first episode of Game of Thrones.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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!"

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Girls don't read fantasy! Or long books! Icky!

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
I guess all the telepathic dragons and cats I remember from my fantasy-reading days as a teen were targeted at boys?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
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.
