2011.  It aired on Showcase 2 years ago (available in "Better" or "VIP" packages).  Statute of limitation, man.

I'm a bit of a fantasy-geek myself (although I stopped reading it long ago)...needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the Lord of the Rings movies, and this new show sounds quite interesting, if not a bit confusing to those not familiar with the books.

So I haven't seen this yet, but I will be watching it soon and I'll report back.  Fantasy is one genre that never really gets its due on film or, especially, on TV, so I have high hopes.

Oh, and apparently there's lots of boobies.

So this show was pretty good.  A lot of characters/info packed into the first episode, but the production values are fantastic, and the actors were all good.  And there was indeed some boob action.

The quality of GoT has, if anything, gone up from that first season, if possible.  It helps that Dany has become an asskicker.

I disagree personally. I thought season 1 was absolutely mind blowing - and there was really nowhere to go but down. It's still awesome, but that first season...

Of course the life expectancy was probably around 40, so if you had not managed to become the Khaleesi or unite a couple of kingdoms to wage war on a much more powerful enemy by the time you were in your mid-teens then you were probably a stable hand.

Still, explains why she had so much trouble riding a horse after her wedding night.
