re: #16 Killgore Trout

Watching the season opener of Game of Thrones. I’m really not a fan of the fantasy genre with dragons and dwarves but the show is really exceptional. Great directing and dialogue. The writing is top notch and the character as all believable. The female characters are especially good and uniquely female in their strengths and weaknesses.
For such a well worn genre none of the characters or plot seem tired or clichd.

I’m a latecomer to GOT. I downloaded the Kindle version of the first book, but couldn’t get into it. tl;dr But a few days ago, I started watching Season 1 of the HBO series. My impressions are more favorable than my feelings about the book. Even though the first four eps cover events I’ve already read about, the acting and cinematography are compelling. Now that I have completed watching every NCIS episode to date, it’s time to tackle GOT.
