I watched the first episode last year and liked it, but still haven't gotten around to watching the rest. And I can no longer take break in the break room at work because it's turned into a Game of Thrones discussion group and fling spoilers all over the place!

I've never got really fangirl/completely obsessed with a TV show .... until now.

I've already bought season 1 on Blu-ray, and I'm re-watching it .. also HANGING OUT for April the 1st, I will be first in line to *coughdownloadcough* the first episode of season 2! :)

Having no idea where you live in the States, is this close enough for you to visit??

[ghost_light]

No, but I can dream

[phaedravelveta]

And I are dumb .. I DO know you live in Alaska, but I have no idea where that is in relation to the States!

We have 2-3 adults at the zoo and a whole passel of baby ones. What do they have to do with Game of Thrones? :)

Daenerys (my icon) is a Khaleesi (Queen) ... There is a made up language in Game of Thrones called Dothraki, and the Khal and Khaleesi are Daenerys and her husband Drogo. :)

So they're human komodos? Sorry, still not getting it. :(

They simply used a name/term from Game of Thrones.
