Can't Americans watch the show on HBO GO? Or has it been taken down?

We can, but you have to have subscribed to HBO through a television provider to get access. Trust me, I've tried multiple times to find ways to watch it on there.

If you have HBO, you should be able to watch them all on HBO GO.

They are also on Netflix, though not Netflix streaming and I'm getting a "Very Long Wait" notice on our queue when I add one of the discs.

I don't have HBO or Netflix

Then- you're screwed. Sorry. Unless you've got a friend who's a fan.

That's what I've been thinking.

I've been asking around on facebook for anyone who has HBO and my one friend who does have it doesn't know his login stuff for HBO-Go

I absolutely refuse to pay $16 a month for HBO, and I have no way to pay $80 for the DVDs.

.....anyone here have the season 1 DVDs?

Seriously, man? Take it easy. When Game of Thrones starts, she's like 11. Living in the barren north her whole life, the only thing about the southern courts she knows is the songs about knights and ladies and tournaments. When Joffrey comes, she thinks it'll be just like those stories, until he attacks her sister and kinda ruins their relationship for the rest of the book. From Game of Thrones to the current point in the series (can't remember if the last we saw of her was FFC or DWD), she's matured quite a bit, thanks to Sandor and Cersei ruining her perception of the real world and Littlefinger trying to make her a player in the game.


100 pages into Storm of Swords. Oh, if I could erase my memory and be right there again, I would. That book is so good. As for the spoiler tag, KEEP READING. Robb Stark's one of my favorite characters, definitely my favorite character story-arc, his tale is brilliant and told magnificently. I'll always be a Stark fan, regardless of Martin's apparent hatred for them.


No you don't. It's definitely not illegal to stream videos from a website. It's illegal to download them. Google "watch game of thrones" and do some surfing. It won't be the best quality, because it's a streamed video, but the series is thus far more about the dialogue and political movements, not about sword fights and battles. You will hardly notice the poor quality.

I was only about 250+ pages into Game of Thrones when I said that. I feel bad for her, especially now that I'm almost finished with Game of Thrones.

I found Game of Thrones rather boring until after the execution.

Game of Thrones is a good book, but A Clash of Kings is a great read so far. I think it's because Game of Thrones just explains what leads to all the major happenings in Clash of Kings. Characters are more developed in the second book because of all their experiences in the first one. Plus, a whole new flock of characters are introduced in Clash of Kings.

Gahhh Martin really does hate the Starks.

Clash of Kings Spoiler:

You think the Greyjoys attacking the North is bad for the Starks?

Oh, summer child...

I found Game of Thrones so much better, Clash of Kings is tedious reading. I've heard it gets better after this book.

If you think none stop twist and turns of the battlefields and court intrigues are more tedious than everyday family lives in book 1, then It looks to me you will be bored by Storm of Swords but excited by Feast for Crows.

You're nothing but a green boy who has seen only summer!

I've heard many different opinions on each book in the series so far. I'm enjoying Clash of Kings. Better than the first IMO.

I'm liking Clash of Kings much more than A Game of Thrones. Just seems like AGoT was setting things up and Clash of Kings is getting into the meat of the story arcs.


Oh boy, I feel as though there is much screaming and yelling in my future.

Might as well just start rooting for Tyrion. He's the pretty much the only other character I kind of root for in the book other than the Starks. Stannis is just bleh, Renly is just well Renly, Tywin is an ass, Jaime is an ass, Cersei...don't even get me started, Joffrey needs to get slapped a few more times, Daenerys is pretty cool but I have a feeling she's going to stir things up too much, and Theon is now on my bad side for being an ass.

Game of Thrones is a good book because it introduced a vast fictitious world with interesting characters. Clash of Kings is even better because it continues the storyline. So yeah Game of Thrones was the great introduction and the meat of the story arcs as you said.

Echoing what other people have said. Why the hell do you think GOT is better than COK? Game of Thrones is basically just the prologue.

Honey comforts your throat after some hardcoe screamings. Lock your windows and doors so you won't jump out or run into the semi that just passing by. Start practicing yoga and calm yourself. Hope you won't commit suicide after book 3. Wish you luck.

I read about this just after you posted so now I understand the situation.

Storm of swords spoilers:

Oh the wildlings did not march south just for the hack of marching, they are very knowledgable people. Free people with no sense of feudal laws, but definately not stupid at all and know more about the mysterious winter than anyone else in the world. Think of the reason and you understand they are not the true enemies.

Even though there seems not much hope for the Starks, GRRM actually left a lot of rooms for them to run about. And don't forget what they faced were somewhat foretold in the early part of book 1.

I dunno, but I have a followup question. How can anyone argue that ADWD is a good book?
