    So much for no spoilers, I'm glad I'm up to date.

    If you think GoT is bad, don't watch Spartacus, that's something else!

    Definitely breaking bad Gally!

    Also, Boardwalk Empire is as good, if not better!

    Re: The books

    Each chapter is told from the point of view of a different character.

    I've not watched game of thrones but its one of those that the more I read about it the more I think I'll hate it!

    Not sure if I could ever really get into something set in a fantasy world.

    That's what most the converts, myself included, thought before watching it. Like has already been said, it's excellent.

    You know why George R R Martin isn't on Twitter?

    It's because he killed off all 140 characters?!?!?! :D

    Nudge, you realise that this is based on 2 historical events -

    The Glencoe Massacre and the Black Dinner (both, Scottish strangely, maybe their hospitality is not to be trusted)

    Art does not provoke, it reflects society.

    Re: Ho ho

    Breaking Bad is the greatest tv show ever imo only closely rivalled by the wire and GOT.

    Breaking bad is fantastic. Anybody heard the rumor about the ending? Walter to be put into witness protection, a new family, a new identity, Hal. Malcolm in the Middle.

    Life will be far worse when it ends. Jesse and Walter are comfortably my favourite tv characters ever, amazing performances.

    Re: Ho ho

    Very good episode. I still prefer spartacus though as something happened every episode without fail, plus it had more nakedness and fitter women! too many game of throne episodes where very little happened.

    Gally breaking bad is absolute class, cant wait for the rest of the season to air as we've saved first half to watch with it.

    I've seen all of both GoT and Spartacus. While I enjoyed Spartacus, GoT has a much better storyline.

    Overall I agree but episode by episode id go for spartacus, just for the pure action and entertainment in every one.
