    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Has the next season been given a thumbs up? More than 10 episodes?

    A second season was confirmed after the first episode. Ratings continue to rise with each episode.

    Is it true that GRRM told HBO how the story ends in case he doesn't finish the last two books?

    Yeag GRRM gave them an outline of where he is going with the story. I hate to think of that possibility though. And yes, this episode was really really good. Next episode is supposed to be badassed as well.. . .

    Just finished part 7, and it's proving further that this show gets better and better with each episode.

    I just wish we didn't have to wait 2 weeks for a new one!

    Did they feature more heavily in the books? Maybe it was too difficult/risky to get the animals to perform what was expected?

    Very much so. The Direwolves and the Stark Children share a spiritual connection that factors in very very importantly to some characters later on. It's not a deal breaker for me. The rest of the show is almost perfect for me. . . .so perhaps next season they will have the budget to feature the Direwolves more, maybe with some effects. . .. . .they grow to be very very large.

    Isn't one of them dead? And the wee Tomboy let hers go off into the woods and since much of the focus has been on King's Landing, it may explain the lack of direwolves in teh show so far.

    However, I never read the books, so I could be talking a load of old bollocks.

    It would go a long way to explain the tardiness of the rest of the series. Since Martin was getting the show produced for TV, perhaps he was getting all of his ducks in a row. Figure the ending, the twists to get there, and he'd be far more able to foreshadow a number of things that we haven't seen yet, book-wise.

    $0.02.
    Those aren't real problems, Sam.

    Ep 7 was pretty good. Wasn't expecting
     
    the King to snuff it


    However, I may be getting old or something, but am I the only one who thinks there's way too many cheap sex scenes in 'Game of Thrones' ? Like in HBO productions in general? Sometimes they are just completely un-necessary and just add running time more than anything else.

    Don't get me wrong, a bit of naked girl flesh is very welcome, but seriously, some of it is approaching porno level.

    They do seem a bit pointless at times. It's at the point where they feel like they're taking up screen time as opposed to bits of story.

    At least it doesn't give away plot points like in, say, Dexter. If a woman's breasts are fully visible, she's a killer and/or going to be killed. It's probably not intentional by the writers, but it's pretty damn accurate.
