Anyone else check this out..? Not bad at all. I could see getting into it. I've read those that got to screen the whole season said Ep1 was the weakest one cause it had to tackle introducing a lot of the cast...
I think the dwarf is going to steal the show.

I purchased the first book last night on my Nook - pretty interesting so far.
I read these books a few years ago. One of the best fantasy/war series ever written in my opinion. There are a LOT of characters so if you dont like chapters titled with character names, might not be for you. This is adult fantasy so much much darker than harry potter fantasy.
I went through that non-spoiler wiki to get familiar with the characters... It helped make sense of the first Episode quite well... A little background on the characters and the history, as well as figuring out the factions and who's with who (at least in name) and its really not THAT complicated..
I really want to see this, but don't have HBO and don't plan on buying it just for this. I will probably wait until it comes out on netflix. I plan to have the books read by then.
It is getting a lot of buzz though... sounds like they did a great job with the show, unlike how Legend of the Seeker got totally screwed up.
I don't have HBO.
Haha you can't watch it then...... kidding of course.Quote:

I am reading the book at the same time so I know the story but I agree Michelle had to ask a few questions as it went. It's pretty true to the book so far (out of order in a couple areas only).
