Well, I got to the end of Season I, including the last episode where the 'net buzz has it that they used a George W. Bush head on a spike in place of Lord Eddart Stark (Sean Bean). I watched closely but I didn't think the head on the spike looked much like anybody, not Bush, not Sean Bean. I enjoyed it. Lots of cool costumes and neat sets. Lots of scantily clad women. Good thing we got cable now. The FCC would have had a conniption over several juicy scenes.
It's dark. There are a lot of really rotten bad guys, and none of them have gotten their just deserts yet. Good guys have taken some hits. Young Bran Stark pushed out a 5th floor window by Jaime Lannister. Sansa Stark has her pet dire wolf killed and winds up a captive at the mercy of boy king Joffrey "Baratheon" (actually Joffrey is a Lannister bastard. Eddart Stark beheaded for treason in the public square. Grim stuff.
Guess I have to wait a while before Season 2 makes it to Netflix. My cable doesn't carry HBO.
