Holy frikkin A .... Did anyone else see last nights episode?

I cannot say anything more without ruining it for those that didn't see it. I have not been this compelled to watch a series in a decade or more. It was fantastic!

Possible Spoiler Alert .....

[Spoiler alert: If you haven't watched the Season 1 finale of "Game of Thrones," DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK]

Bottom line: This was the best first season of a cable series, and surely the best first season finale, since "Deadwood" back in 2004. Each scene and moment seemed to have been carved out of wood, and they all tied up old business while setting the stage for new business. Season 2 is scheduled for April, 2012. Hurry up, spring.

Damn Wolf ... I remained intentionally ignorant of it all and have seen nothing but the actual shows. We're watching from two totally different perspectives.

Lovin' this! I'll be able to re-watch them via On-Demand till then.

I really haven't enjoyed a tv series this much since Band of Brothers.

It is really great. We have watched all the episodes twice or more. I like to see what I notice after the first time I watch. Just saw the finale. Actually, I was kind of disappointed. I Imagined it very differently when I read the book. But it was still really good. I will probably watch it again tonight.

I've been watching them multiple times as well. I'm still putting some things together that I probably would have if reading the book.

Yeah, I really can't imagine how I could get the whole story if I hadn't read the books, but I really am not all that smart, so most people probably could do better than I do. Still, the visual images, alone are enough to make me want to watch them a few times over.
