Yes - have just obtained episode 5, but not watching it till this evening. I've read the books, so I know most of the twists that are coming, but they're still fantastically executed on screen.

I'm working my way through the books now. So far I'm half way through Clash of Kings.

It's the funniest show on TV.

I just watched 25 episodes in a week !

I'm assuming that I'm not the only one who has seen the latest episode?

I've read the books and watched the first box set.

Just re-read the first book as the cyber daughter has it out of the library - need to read the rest, will probably not watch the series till (if ever) it becomes available on a free view channel.

I think the casting for Tyrion Lannister is right on the button though - will probably be worth watching just for that. And dragons, everything is better with dragons!!

Have now "finished" the books and am very disappointed that the stories have mostly not come to a conclusion - I'm now waiting for "The winds of winter" somewhat impatiently!
