Have you read Egg and Dunk?

He was the one I couldn't think of: Sword of the Morning.

No, I haven't.

Collection of 3 short stories, prequel to before Ned and Robert went to war, features the young Targs,but a decent read all the same.

Are those tales in novel-form? I only read the graphic novels.

Short book form. On amazon. Very light reading but the tales are enjoyable.

I've heard of them, but didn't know the time frame. Thanks, I'll check it out.

We just got HBO this last year, so I missed seasons 1-5. I have gone back and started watching them. We are halfway through season 2. Holy cow, this show is awesome. Last night, we saw the Red Woman give birth to a smoke monster... Can't wait to watch the next episode tonight.

I'm jealous, actually. You get to experience all of it for the first time. Enjoy yourselves!

I wouldn't watch them too quickly - the misery to joy ratio for your favorite characters (assuming they don't get whacked) probably runs at about 9 to 1. You might need to go on suicide watch if take in too much at once. :D

I have to say, some of the stuff I saw in season 5 & 6, make a lot more sense now.

I've watched everything twice now. I may go on a binge this summer and watch it a 3rd time. The show is that ****ing good.

Up through season 4 my buddy and I would rewatch the entire series to the point. Kept everything fresh for the new season.

A friends parents watched the whole thing - every season of it - in a single weekend.

My first thought was "is that even possible?" and they assured me it was (though the math still doesn't seem to add up). My second thought was "how in the !@#$ did you not end up killing yourself?"

That's way too dark for binge watching.

Not sure I could binge watch all of it in a weekend. Maybe if I was sick and didn't have the energy to do anything else.
