I was shocked when the things that S doesn't know are coming happened in the book, so I'm glad someone will be shocked when they happen onscreen. With a side order of poor noodle feeling.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

Because books.
Me, too! And I'm not really sure why I'm reading ahead, because I never want to be spoiled for other shows. But I kept having to check the wiki and the westeros.org sites to check names, and then I just picked up the book, and ... there you go.

It is hard not to be spoiled when you kinda need the references, and if you're going to get spoiled then reading the source is the purest way to go about it.
Which is to say, makes perfect sense to me, Amy.

Amy - have your read the other books or just A Game of Thrones?

I just started A Clash of Kings, sumi. Loving the new characters being introduced so far, but I'm not even past the prologue.

I started reading A Game of Thrones about a week before the series aired. I finished A Feast for Crows a couple weeks ago. That series consistently went places I never thought it would go! OMG, can it be June 12th already?!

I swear, those books have some of the best HSQ of any series I can remember reading. Seriously having to put down the damn book and walk around the room going "Holy Shit!" for a while.

S. keeps saying at the end of every episode, "The shit is really going to hit the fan now!" and I say, "...you said that last week, babe."

Right? Having somebody else read them just a little while after you do is the best, because you can get all that validated.
