Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.
A few quick ground rules:

There is a reason for that, but I am not sure if they will delve into it in the show, so I won't spoil it in this thread. I can PM the reason if you are just dying to know, but it's a fairly minor detail in the big picture.

so he's King because they rebeled against the former King and overthrew him?

Yes. It will come out why they rebelled, but that's the gist of it. Daenarys and her brother are descendants of the king they deposed. That's why Robert was talking about having her killed in the last episode.

Viserys sold Dany to the Khal in the pilot so that he could use the Dothraki army to take the 7 kingdoms back from the usurpers.

I think every episode would be a safe guess there, creepy uncle laz.

I've stayed out of these threads completely, as I'm actually in the middle of reading A Game of Thrones for the first time. (I actually didn't even know HBO was making this until recently.)
For those of you who HAVE read the books, can you tell me if they stay in the plot of the first book ONLY so far? I'd like to watch the show, but I'm nervous about spoiling something that's in the later books if I watch the show before reading those. |

Martin himself mentioned the title of the second book when he blogged about the season 2 renewal, so I think it's safe to assume they're sticking fairly close to the books. |

It will get tricky with Feast For Crows and Dance with Dragons (books 4 and 5) because I think many events in the books will happen within the same timeline, instead of book 5 being after book 4 chronologically. |

One of the clowns on CHUD coined the phrase lil' lord ****stick for Joffrey, and I'm stealing it henceforth.
