http://www.freakonomics.com/2008/01/09/what-do-real-thugs-think-of-the-wire/ The reviewer gets to watch the season with real life thugs, who critique the reality of the show and the characters. I also agree that anyone who liked GoT for its complexity will also like the Wire. | ||

And to answer Archangel, I didn't like it that much either in the first season. It gets much better IMO. And it's nothing like any other cop show at all. There's only one or two characters who are genuinely interested in doing police work anyway  and they don't necessarily make up most of the show. It's as much a story about the cops, as it is about the drug dealers, and about the epic cowboy who steals money from the drug dealers. | ||

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. Cause I read the book and I felt that the second book was not as interesting as the first one. I'm talking on how It will render on TV, I felt more dragged during the reading, but that's just my opinion. The third however, that's definitly gonna blow people mind. | ||

Really? imo ACoK and ASoS are the best books in the series (so far). AGoT is my 3rd favorite, but it felt slower because so much time is spent setting up the atmosphere and introducing the world and characters. | ||

3 > 2 > 1 = 5 > 4 Although I might be open to moving 5. Not sure where it belongs. The point is that the first 3 books only got better as they moved on. [mod edit] User was warned for this post EDIT: Sorry about that. I figured it woudlnt be a spoiler since I was quoting an interview. | ||

Daenerys in the trailer gave me a good shiver down my spine, really looking forward to everything in the second series. | ||

Wow. Even aside from that, one of the main concepts behind of aSoIaF is that characters are more complex than this kind of alignment thing can ever show. Watch another season and you will change your opinion on a number of the characters. At the end most will be a wishywashy "lawful chaotic goodish neutral with sometimes a touch of evil" | ||

I have different opinions about all other characters, mostly being, that they can not be characterized like that, this alignments, i know them from Baldur's Gate, are to simple. | ||
