Two episodes to go of the first series, been brilliant so far and the second's already been commissioned. I wonder if we'll have to wait a whole year for the second installment...it's quite a lot shorter than most US series' in terms of Episode count at least, and if viewing figures stay up they might well go for doing all seven books in the fashion they've started (as I understand it this covers pretty much the first book, so it would pan out about a series to each book right?) they might have to film them in advance, or do two a year...they have a lot of child actors and 7 years of a series will make them age quite a lot (unless the books really do span a lotta years...I don't really know haha).
Oh and @Bac+Random Hero, HBO might not, but when they're aired over here they do. They manage to put 2 add breaks into each half hour episode of Entourage and that's HBO. Every US tv show has tonnes of ad breaks over here, HBO or not (I seem to remember 24 being the worst, with about 20mins of ads in each episode...grrrr). So yeah, it's quite refreshing for me at least to watch hour long tv shows with one ad break lol.
Series 2 was commissioned about 1/2 an hour after episode 1. They had best be getting their film on! Also, this series looks like it will just spread over into book 2 a tiny bit, to add a nice cap to the series.
Also, Tyrion and Hodor are my favourite characters.
