I know The Wire has nothing to do with swords and dragons... but they both engaging, character-driven storylines involving political intrigue and characters that have actual human elements to them. They're both shows about the interplay between people and their struggles, not necessarily about some uncontrollable "other" force that acts like the antagonist. Maybe I'm just saying that if you like a good show, you might enjoy other good shows. | ||

I had little faith in season 2 compared to the story depicted in season 1, this trailer proved me wrong. I'm curious as to why you had little faith in season 2. Season one was fantastic and very true to the books. Why would you expect any less from season 2? Especially when it has a bigger budget? The best part is, if they follow the books so closely (and they will), every single episode will be better than the last. :D For a while, at least. A long while. | ||
