Experience the first season of this visionary HBO series based on the bestselling books by George R.R. Martin. Set in the mythical world of Westeros, 'Game of Thrones' follows the many driven inhabitants who thirst for control of the Iron Throne. But in a land where seasons can last a lifetime, winter is coming...and beyond the Great Wall that protects them, a long-forgotten evil has awakened. In Season One, the story centers on three primary areas: the Stark and the Lannister families, whose designs on controlling the throne threaten a tenuous peace; the dragon princess Daenerys, heir to the former dynasty, who waits just over the Narrow Sea with her malevolent brother Viserys; and the Great Wall--a massive barrier of ice where terrible danger is stirring. Bonus Features: • Making Game of Thrones • 15 Character Profiles • Creating the Dothraki Language • The Night’s Watch • From the Boo k to the Screen • Creating the Show Open • Complete Guide to Westeros (Menu-based feature) • Seven audio commentaries with Cast and Crew including David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, George R.R. Martin, Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage, Kit Harington, and more. Review: Exceptional - I bought this on the recommendation of family and friends, prodded on by the interesting trailers and overwhelming positive reviews. I have not read the books, so this review stands entirely on the quality of the blu-ray A/V, cinematography and the story as presented, without reference to canon or other benchmarks of "original storyline accuracy". First off, the visual mastering appears to be exceptional. I would not rate myself as an expert audio/videophile but I do have a good A/V setup ( 1080p 50" panasonic and a decent but older 5-1 dts capable receiver ). I've read often enough that correct mastering is essential and not all blu-ray products are equal; you've probably seen some blu-rays that look only marginally better than DVD and, indeed, I've seen some upscaled 480p sources that actually look better than native 720/1080p sources.. it's all in the engineering effort, I guess. This blu-ray is frankly eye-popping ( the literal analog of which I fully expect to see at some point while watching this series.. to put it bluntly, it's not for the faint-hearted!). The source is native 16:9 which means the 1080p fills the entire screen without bars; whether this is the result of deliberate editing, or if it matches the original source, it looks fantastic. My better half, who doesn't usually care or comment on technical issues, commented on the clarity and quality of the image. The sound is just fine, but as noted, I don't have a very recent receiver so it just sounds like regular dts to me. As for the story itself, when we got the package from desertcart, we popped in the first disk.. then the second; we watched 4 episodes in one sitting.. simply couldn't stop ourselves. We cut our cable some time ago so perhaps we are starved for really good shows but I haven't seen anything since Battlestar Galactica that crafts its characters with such finesse as this show. Sean Bean is simply brilliant and it's very easy to see how Peter Dinklage won an emmy for his performance. The gory scenes are just brutal, but not necessarily gratuitous.. they fit with the theme that that depicts a dark time in a dark and rough world... it's just special effects so it doesn't bother me, but if you are not fond of gore then be warned. There are many threads running through the story; multiple sub-plots and they all wind together very well without the jarring incongruity you often see from sloppy writing. Some shows run barely average sub-plots just to try to keep continuity but they are often patchy and lazy. No so here, the whole thing pulls together perfectly. Anyways, I'm beginning to see my own subplots unravel so I'll wrap up with a basic recommendation: This is for you if you liked Lord of the Rings, enjoyed the edginess of Battlestar galactica, are fairly immune to special effect gore and are not offended by fairly raunchy adult theming. If you also like excellent character development, great plots, near-perfect presentation and have been waiting for a good, if not great, show to rise up above the awful landscape of mundane programming, then go for it. Great show, simply Great. Now I need to get back to watching it.. when is season 2 coming out? Review: This One's A Jewel in the Crown! - I stumbled across this little gem here under my desertcart recommendations. I'd never even heard of this series of books or the fact it was an HBO show. I read the synopsis and all the reviews here about the show and I was very intrigued. I like Sean Bean as an actor, and enjoyed Peter Dinklage from Nip/Tuck, and as everyone raved about his performance in this, I thought I'd check out at least one episode. WOW oh WOW.... This series just blew me away! The storyline was amazing! All the machinations, assignations, intrigue, deliberations, or stunning confessions that go on are incredible. The sets and locations are gorgeous. The theme music is very stirring and the opening credits are creatively done. I can see why each episode runs a cool $6 mil.... I'm afraid I'll run out of superlatives in describing this show. There were many times in watching the series where I was shocked and stunned, like "wow.... Oh my gosh, did that really just happen?".... You think you may know what's going to happen next, and the show surprises you. It plays out like an elaborate and intricate game of chess. I love shows that do that. You may not recogize many of the names, but you'll recognize a lot of the faces. Mark Addy (Roland from A Knight's Tale, Bill Miller in Still Standing) is wonderful as Robert, king of the seven kingdoms. Rightfully on the throne? Some aren't so sure about that. Eddard (Ned) Stark (excellently played by Sean Bean, Boromir from Lord of the Rings) is Lord of Winterfell and Robert's friend. Ned is asked to come to Kings Landing and accept the job of Hand of the King, due to the recent demise of the previous title holder. Some whisper assassination. If that is indeed the case, Ned wants to know why he was killed. Lena Headey (Queen Gorgo in 300) is superb as Robert's wife Cersei Lannister. Talk about a 180 degree character portrayal from her role in 300. She was amazing, I loved to hate her. And no one could have played the role of Cersei's brother Tyrion, "the Imp" better than Peter Dinklage. He almost steals the show with his performance. The actors playing two of Ned's younger children are phenomenal, especially Maise Williams as Lord Stark's spunky and scrappy daughter Arya. This little gal will be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come. She will definately be one to watch. Isaac Hempstead Wright plays Arya's brother Bran to perfection. The actors playing Ned's older children deliver solid performances as well. Even Natalia Tena (Nyphadora Tonks in Harry Potter) delivers an outstanding performance in a minor role as Osha, a criminal turned new house slave at Winterfell. Then of course, there is the ominous and massive Wall. Manned for thousands of years, most have forgotton why they even continue to stand the watch, and where deserting your post still means death. Yet rumors and frightened witnesses swear that monsters and white walkers are beginning to stir, and icy horrors wait beyond the wall. Dragon lore and direwolves are also spoken of. Toss into the mix House Taragaryen across the narrow sea. In exile, Viserys Targaryen desires to take what he feels is his rightful place on the throne in Kings Landing, and sells his sister Daenerys in marriage to the Khal of the fierce and nomadic Dothraki tribe, (think Klingons of the wastelands) so that Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa from Stargate Atlantis) will provide the muscle Viserys needs to get the job done. There are several family dynamics occuring at the same time and it's very involving, so I would refer to IMDB to better understand who was who and where they fit in to the storyline, (thank you IMDB). There is soooooo much more happening than what I've mentioned here, but this review is already getting to be the length of a book itself, so just check it out for yourself. If you are offended by nudity or violence, this may not be the show for you. Game of Thrones hits the ground running right from the opening credits where you see a white walker, and let me tell you, they're creepy. This show grabs you and doesn't let go. It's one hell of a ride. I can't wait for the second season. HBO, you definately have a gem of a winner in this series. During the hiatus, I'll be reading the books. ~ jade ~ ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Alfie Allen, Carolyn Strauss, D.B.

I had heard about this program a number of times but it is an HBO product, so I wasn't able to see it. My provider here in town is Comcast, and they have an 'On Demand' feature. I clicked it last week, I think Tuesday, and there was a button called 'Watchathons'. All of the shows listed were free until the thirty first of March. I scanned them quickly, not really thinking much about it as I was looking for something else, and there it was. A Game of Thrones. 2 season's worth. I had Tuesday through Sunday to view. What I was searching for forgotten, I saddled up for a long ride in my spare moments after work. I was hooked from the first episode. This series is absolutely incredible and well worthy of the high acclaim it has received. Fastforward to Sunday, and I had viewed all of the first two seasons. (I think Comcast screwed the pooch Sunday night because I was able to see the first episode of season three as well.) What to do after seeing such an epic in such a short period of time? First, I bought the 4 volume set of books. Now, I tried to do this through Amazon, but they were out of stock, so I found a local dealer what had it. I'm now about 300 pages into the first book, and man... The HBO series follows so closely to the book, it's like reliving it in print! Incredible how alive the series makes the characters. The production is epic, with what would seem no expense spared. Vivid and visceral. Intricate and involved. 2 days later, here I was on Amazon buying the DVDs for the first two seasons, and as soon as able, will be buying season three. How could I not? With the books, you get the scope of what the author envisioned, and I'll tell you that that is fantastic as well if you're a reader, but the HBO series is, with little exception, that in the flesh. Uncanny, so far. So now, I await standard shipping and the DVDs from Amazon. I'm anxious to see the extras to broaden what I know about the show and share the truly engrossing experience that has been coming to know this series, and now the books, with my friends and boss. Martin has gained a new reader, and HBO has made a little cash from me, and, being an impatient man, might just get a subscriber so I can see season three 'live'. And then Amazon for the DVDs of THAT season, and so on. Comcast wins, Martin wins, HBO wins, Amazon wins, but I am the ultimate victor for the sheer entertainment and experience I can witness over and over, and share with my friends.
