I tried watching the first episode of this show, but couldn't get into it at all, so gave up after ~15 minutes. Maybe because I've not read the books, but then with some other HBO shows (True Blood), the books aren't really required to understand the show. Maybe because it's all olden-time and costumed, and I don't usually watch TV shows with similar settings. It didn't help that pretty much all of the online streams of it were laggy to some extent, either.

I frown upon this, Game of Thrones is amazing, trust me if you watched the whole show you will be like "omgwtfthisepic!"

You don't need the books to like the show at all. You should at least watch a whole episode.
Well, I don't understand the show at all from what I've watched, and I'm unsure of if I have the patience to wait for over an hour to find out. I know like, nothing about the setting or anything, except that it's medieval-esque, from what I've seen.

I didn't know anything about the show before either (read the books after) but I pretty much got it all in one episode. If it's because you dont understand it, you should give it another chance, but if it's cause you don't like it then you just.. don't.
:P I might give it another chance, but only if I can find a non-laggy working stream. Most of the ones I've seen have been lagging and/or pixelated. :(

I recall the novamov stream being just fine. (omg is this illegal?)
That one seemed to be skipping a bit (only a little, but it was still annoying) every now and again. :/ I'll try again later, probably.

Who thinks who will win the Iron Throne? :D

Thanks, I'll try that out later when I've got a little more peaceful time. Yaknow, watching HBO programs with other people around is just awkward. :P

I have a few friends who watched the show before reading the books. In fact, most of them still haven't even started the books. They all loved the show. I admit I helped a little bit, just because I know how intimidating all those names can be, but I doubt it was my help that made the difference.

I watched the whole season before reading the first book, and i'm nearly done the second one :)

I don't know like, anyone's names. I'm using Boro!@#$, bangs/mullet boy, Daenysifyhdhvdlkhgsdklgh, wannabe-Malfoy and other such descriptive terms at the minute.

It's really not that hard.

I'm tempted by the idea of looking up the characters' names on TVtropes, but I'm worried I'll end up reading spoilers and spoiling the entire series, derp. >.> I KNOW THERE'S A CHARACTER CALLED ARYA THOUGH.
And a wolf called Lady which Boro#$%^ kills because ginger @#$%^ is a liar.

I would really like you more if you looked them up :(
Alternatively, I am willing to sit down and talk to you about them over an IM of some sorts. It
really
bothers me when somebody refers to them with nicknames that don't even have anything to do with the show. Calling Robert Baratheon "the king" is only mildly irritating. Calling him "that fat guy" sends me into nerdraging mode.

Lol, I call him the fat king, so best/worst of both worlds! I'll probably learn them as the series goes on, and I remembered another! John Snow or something like that. If I don't learn them all, after I've finished the series I'll TVtropes them, because I don't trust myself to not spoil things. :/

I didnt remember all their names till I started the books. The only name that always stuck in my head was Shagga son of Dolph, and thats a name you remember.
TBH I am starting to get a tad sick of this show. When I saw the first season I was like XD, then I read the first two books and I was like XDDDDDDD then half way through the third book somone spoiled the red wedding and I was like >:( now I just finished the fourth book and Im like : /
I cant tell if its just caus I speed read through 5,000+ pages all in a row, but it seemed like most of AFFC was just kinda ^&*!. I hope ADWD is better seeing as all my favorite POV charactures are in there. Of course now I find out its been like a five year wait in between each book so Im kinda like T.T
EDIT: Also I think the Greyjoys should change their house words to "Lets Get Kraken"
