I have 6 or 7 HD episodes on a portable currently, that I keep meaning to start watching Wink

I continue to hear how awesome it is, and that it does the books justice.

yes to you both - Luke, i haven't got the HD, but all the eps are most def watchable and some of the best TV out.

and Moe, get into it, its almost on the level of being Shakespearean, there's that much intrigue and drama and devilish characters.  not to mention the decapitations and boobies Shocked

Based off the books.  I used Cersei Lannister as my high elf archmage right the way through 7th ed.

Someone described it to me like Lord of The Rings crossed with Porn.... sounds like they have all angles covered for the gamer community.


Great series... sad its nesrly over. Happy series 2 has green light, and there 'should' be 7 in total (supposed to be 1 series per book.... but not all 7 books are out yet ;-).

Exactly. It is the meat and three veg of TV. A fully rounded meal of sex, violence and creepy characters. Bring on Monday night for Ep 9

Morgan from Camelot Grin

Eva green showing that French actresses are all about eye candy. The actual show shouldn't be called Camelot it should be called 'I made something up and called it something to do with Arthur'.

... creepy characters. Bring on Monday night for Ep 9

The only creepy characters seem to be the Kings advisors. Hope ep 9 has more than ep 8 where we just got too much development and not enough action. I'm not complaining the program is epic goodness, I just want more.

Just watched the first two eps, pretty hooked right now.

Production value is pretty high, gonna tear through this in the next day or two I imagine.

The film stock they have used must be top notch as the picture is phenomenal. Top it of with well chosen scenery it looks like a movie but is actually a tv series.

just watched first 3 epi and are just as hooked Grin

i would put at a guess that this isn't film and is using the the newish hd digital panasonic red cameras they all the rage for tv production at the moment. they say its the most film like hd camera yet.
you too can have one for about 24.000 without lens.

still cheaper in the long run than film and easier to throw digital effects over the top of, than film
