^ Big mistake my friend
Things are just starting to get interesting on the show. A masterful job overall by HBO and everyone involved. Best thing I have seen on TV in eons.
Trust me...if the finale and season 2 adaptations are consistent with the books [as they pretty much have been so far with book 1], you don't wanna miss it.
Book 2 is called "A Storm of Swords" - there ain't gonna be a lot of dead space to fill...
FWIW...
