~ in episode 10 of hbo's adaptation of g.r.r. martin's "a game of thrones"

as i've mentioned before, i'm not a fan of book-to-screen adaptations because the purist in me struggles to reconcile what is being shown to what has been written. i have always "liked the book better".

but this mini-series has not only managed to stay true to the text but it has captured the essence of "a game of thrones".

so far.

i am actually looking forward to the continuation in 2012! (",)

i finished the fifth book (the ebook version) two weeks ago and i am also looking forward to the sixth in the series. i hope i won't have to wait another two years!
