Game of Thrones addendum

Yesterday, Canada Day, I went to visit my son and grandchildren.
Much to my joy and luck there was a mini marathon, five episodes, of the HBO series playing. I was able while they were out watching fireworks to watch, uninterrupted, the first installments.
Good thing because they're of the age I wouldn't be able to if they were here. That's due to the content and language.
I loved it; especially with all the printed page now being presented visually, still fresh in my memory. I wonder how I would have coped though without it. It is especially tough to keep up with all the twists and turns without the lengthy explanations available in print.
But because of the vast reader audience already I imagine they're presenting mainly to the 'converted'. It was certainly a massive undertaking and I appreciate it. If just to deepen the impression in my mind's eye, visually.
