I've actually been reading the books. I'm on the third, A Storm Of Swords. I was worried about reading the books because it would spoil the show, but I've been looking even more forward to Season 2 now. :lol:

Favorite/Most Hated Character?

I've thought about getting into the books.. and I just might. haven't decided yet.

Favorite character: Tyrion lannister.

As for hated, I'm not sure how to answer that. There are characters I love to hate and enjoy watching them: Joffrey, Jamie Lannister.

The character I hated the most was Viserys, but he's irrelevant.. I guess my least favorite characters are the wives interestingly enough. Both Catelyn and Cersei irritate me.

I strongly recommend reading the books. You get the full story and the characters' thoughts.

Tyrion is my favorite as well. He's even more awesome in the second book.

Catelyn is a bore in the second book, a complete nuisance on both the show and the books. Cersei becomes more interesting with Tyrion being sent to King's Landing.

Joffrey...if I ever see that kid out in the street, I will punch him in the face. Great casting, a little more hated when you read the books.

jeff...I have that exact same box set from the exact same website. I'll get the hardcovers eventually (probably when I finish A Feast For Crows and get A Dance With Dragons), but I got those 4 just to have (Plus, I always manage to mess up the edges of the cover on my first read-through). I think they're around $8 each separately so yes, it's a good deal.

I'll get to it eventually.

Regarding Community, just a heads up.. it really picks up with the halloween episode and beyond. Just in case you're disappointed with the early episodes.

Thanks for the heads up, have both season 1 and 2 now, but might have to wait until next week to start watching it though. Like I said, stupid studies!

Ehh... I don't know. That's one of the hardest shows to recommend. It isn't for everyone.

I've been catching up on that show, at times it can be lame but I like it so far (on Season 3)



Basic cable (CBS,NBC,FOX,ABC) shows just suck. They have no creativity on their writing staffs.

Does Community have a Parks and Recreations feel to it?

Just saw the first 2 episodes of Community. Enjoying it so far, the Spanish rap by Troy and that asian dude was awesome.

BTW, Brita is smoking hot, she looks so familiar I just can't remember if she was on TV before.

The show gets A LOT better as it goes on, so you liking these two episodes is an excellent sign. As for Britta.. yeah she's hot, but Annie's hotter.
