I don't have HBO either, I prefer downloading whatever I watch (Romanian TV shows are beyond shit anyway). I'm sure there are places you can watch it online for free anyway, new episodes are usually up for viewing the very day they're aired on TV, or at most the following day.
Hmm, AFAIK I know the books, the first season was made from the first book and it's a very faithful adaptation, though another friend has read it and said the book contains a few more details. I'm envious, I'll try to get my hands on the books as well >_<
*hugs* :D
I don't watch TV at all, I heard about GoT from the advertising campaign here (a few billboards and such), went to IMDb and decided to give it a try :) If you like fantasy shows, I think you'll like this one too, the characters are awesome. Though I'll warn you, character development is 90% of the show, so get ready for long talks (though the action is pretty good too, especially near the end!).
As for any other recommendations, I don't think I have anything else, I don't usually have the patience to sit down and wait for new episodes ^^" I usually pick up shows once they're finished, Dexter and GoT were exceptions XD
Nope. I don't have HBO, which was the channel it aired on....I wanted to watch it though...but instead I'm getting the books. I got the first one, but I haven't read it yet.
I don't really keep up with any shows. I only watch the reality contest shows (top model, america's got talent, Glee Project, project runway, etc.)
I've been meaning to watch Game of Thrones! Everyone I know says it's an amazing show! I'll have to check it out sometime. :3 I'm actually not following any TV shows since I don't watch TV all that often. xD But if you have any recommendations, I'd be more than willing to watch some! ^^
