Well, looks like I've been dragged onto the GoT bandwagon by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
monshu. If the episodes continue to be this beefy and beardy (and that certainly seems the way to bet), looks like I won't be able to get through one without at least a semi. I confess, though, that I didn't even recognise Mark Addy at first--which is good, actually, since he usually plays such nice guys.
The first DVD came with a detailed dramatis personae, including even characters which literally die in the first five minutes of Episode 1. At the same time, it was oddly coy about the relationships between several of them. (I quickly figured out that "close relationship" is code for "fucking".) There was a certain temptation to read some spoilers in order not to get too attached to the ones marked for death. Running down the cast list in the IMDb entry served the same purposes, though. (Only seven episodes? Nice knowin' ya!)
