I guess all the telepathic dragons and cats I remember from my fantasy-reading days as a teen were targeted at boys?
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

That's the part I was wondering about, thanks! I am recording it. We have a huge back log of stuff on the DVR right now, but I'll get around to seeing it at some point.

I've never read the books, i found it interesting. I figure that I'll learn the players and the history as we go along.
I wonder why the blond people are all evil?

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
that's a darned good question! Tho Denarys (or however her name is spelled, i've been listening rather than reading) doesn't strike me as evil. Just....brought up as the last of a noble house with certain expectations. Also, Dragons. I'm only through book 2 so far tho, so that could end up a very wrong interpretations.

The really blond brother was willing to let his sister be raped by 40,000 barbarians, so I'm going to call him evil.
