So I just caught up. The nice thing was I got to watch both seasons in the last 3-4 months b/c I hadn't seen any of them before. Now I'm like everyone else, I have to sit around and wait another year for the next season. I might get the books but don't want to ruin the series.
A few observations.
1. I came from Spartacus. Spartacus had a LOT more action, nekkidness, and gore. GOT has a lot better acting (minus Batiatus who was one of the single greatest characters ever created and acted), overall better character development, and a much deeper story.
2. I am a little disappointed they didn't actually show more battles. It was nice to see the battle on King's Landing instead of just little duels and skirmishes and "aftermaths" of battles.
3. Khaleesi's maidservant who got locked in the vault was the hottest on the show IMO. The new Ygrett (?) has potential, can't see the body under that clothing yet though.
4. Cersie is a strait up nasty B!tch....dang.
5. Geoffrey plays his part perfectly too. That poor kid will probably never get another acting or movie role b/c everyone hates him now...lol.
6. "The Mountain" from Season 1 was actually Seddulus in Spartacus Vengence. I won't tell you exactly what happened to him there but let's say he lost face in front of his friends.
7. Do they use camera tricks to make Brienne (?) bigger for a woman or is she that big?
8. The whole Winterfell thing is very confusing. Who burned it? What happened to Greyjoy's buddies who KO'd him? What happened to the men surrounding it that I assume were sent by Rob Stark? Did they burn it? Couldn't they protect it?
9. Why does Jon always look confused? Great character btw though.
10. Jagen is/was awesome
11. Haven't read the books but I have a hunch Arya plays a major role throughout the series and come back to kick some a$$ later.
