I don't just like Asian epics

[dangermousie]

See this trailer for the upcoming HBO show based on Game of Thrones, G.R.R. Martin's fantasy epic set in a quasi-Medieval world:

Shivers.

Shivers.

And I speak as someone who's never read a word of the novels.

Based purely on the trailer (a) this looks so much my thing - it makes me think of Icelandic sagas I used to love (someone adapt Laxdaela Saga into a show already) (b) I am going to love Sean Bean's character so very much. I always go for the honorable ones (sorry, queenofthorns, I know you are a huge Jaime fan but Ned Stark seems much more my type).

I'm lucky in that the crazy parts actually don't overlap with anyone I interact with at all. I just know it's there and hear a lot/get linked by people who do interact with the crazy parts. (That said, I suspect that once it airs, I'm going to be skimming posts from some people who may get into it through the show.)
