My parents scored three months of HBO because my Dad is good at being angry without shouting, so E and I trotted over to watch the GoT premier Sunday.
It's funny; you can love something in book form, fully aware of how gritty and awful it is at times, and still be totally discomfitted when watching it in TV form with your Japanese former room-mate who can't follow most of the words and oh shit, what will she think of me for being so excited about this?
Best bit: The Other takes off a guy's head in the prologue. Kiyoko gasps! Dad says, reassuringly: "Don't worry, that won't happen again... for at least five minutes."
Luckily, Kiyoko is a fantasy/sci-fi fan and liked it, but I still had this urge to assure her that not all of my entertainment is focused on violent doggy-style sex.
