That's how my friend felt when he first saw the pilot at my house. I think it wasn't until episode 3 that he started getting into it. He eventually became so obsessed that we ended up spending the whole night watching the rest of the season.

Teague, for the record, you have nearly cloned Rachel's view of this show. She went from being nagged into watching it, begrudgingly watching episode 1, and barely motivated to watch episode two.  By episode three I had to force her to go to bed and save episodes for later.

It'll get yah man, the only thing keeping me from watching the entire thing again is that my friend just got me insanely hooked onto True Blood, so I have 4 seasons of that to get through first. As a side note: True Blood; fucking aaaawesome show.

I know, right?

/just started reading A Feast for Crows
/hoping the series lasts long enough to do all the books
/damn

I'm slogging through the Dance with Dragons audiobook. Can someone tell me that the ending is awesome? I really enjoyed up to Storm of Swords, but then Feast for Crows was slow with a really abrupt end and Dance with Dragons isn't much better. Too many new characters and new story lines that I don't really care about. I get that the two books are parallel and I'm hoping that the "real" ending is in Dance with Dragons.

It's not. Now you can prepare yourself and enjoy it for what it is, not for what it should be.    There's a story going around the internet that Martin's editor persuaded him to move out some of the climaxes... which if true means she should be fired for being an idiot.
