Nate and I watched the first season of Game of Thrones, a show on HBO. There are ten episodes, and the show is based off the book series 'A Song of Fire and Ice.' I have to admit, the episodes are a little slow-moving sometimes; you can tell what scenes -- mostly dialogue -- would have been cut or shortened or implied if it was a movie (or set of movies,) but the storyline and characters are good and interesting enough to have kept us watching.
And then we get to the end of the 9th episode and Nate FREAKSOUT about the ending and insists we keep watching, even though it's late and we both have work the next morning. Because really, how can you just DO THAT? I mean...HBO didn't do it, the books did, but still. Totally didn't see it coming. And yes, I'm being elusive on purpose in case you want to go watch the season without my spoiling it for you. And if you have seen it, you KNOW what I'm talking about. This is why I usually like to read the books before I watch -- I like to be prepared.
REALLY, HOW CAN THEY JUST DO THAT?
edit: I think my favorite storyline is Daenerys's. Dragons are just too cool.
