I liked GRRM's response to the article: "if I am writing "boy fiction," who are all those boys with breasts who keep turning up by the hundreds at my signings and readings?"
I really need to watch this again. People were talking, and distracting me from stuff I really wanted to pay attention to (like the Dany/Drogo consummation scene. Is it just me, or did it seem less...rape-y in the book? Part of the reason she falls in love with him is that he shows a more tender side with her that I didn't really see onscreen.) I almost feel like I want to be watching with a notepad in hand, scribbling down thoughts as I'm watching.
