What A Wicked Game To Play: Part 2
Sweet lion of Lannister!!! Has it been a year all ready? It seems like only yesterday since Ned Stark lost his head, Daenerys hatched her dragons, and Tyrion stole our hearts. My how the time flies. And now a second round with the denizens of the Seven Kingdoms has come to an end. We saw horrors beyond our comprehension. We saw warfare of untold magnitude and destruction. We saw savagery that would make the hardest person squirm. And there was some nudity as well. Wouldn't be Game of Thrones if there wasn't.
This season was one of many triumphs and a parse few set backs that nevertheless lived up the standard of quality that the brilliant first season laid out. In many cases, it ever surpassed it.
BEWARE: HERE THERE BE SPOILERS!!!!

What A Wicked Game To Play
Lately, my life has been consumed by three things, French, Battlestar Galactica, and George R. R. Martin's epic series of books, A Song of Ice and Fire. Outside of Lord of the Rings, I have never before come across a fantasy saga as engrossing, detailed, and thrilling as Martin's superb tomes.
Have no idea what A Song of Ice and Fire is? No worries; you've been exposed to it. The new series on HBO, Game of Thrones, is a direct adaptation of it. I've been faithfully following the show since the premiere two months ago, and loved every second of it.
Game of Thrones is, truly, a brilliant television show. Full of rich and complex characters, sweeping mythology and devilishly twisty plots, Game of Thrones is a perfect example of how to adapt a book to the screen.
BEWARE: SPOILERS AWAIT THEE!!!
