Assuming you watched it.

Definitely an A. If I could choose to wait another year for new True Blood, Dexter, & Boardwalk seasons but get season 2 GoT now? I would in a second. - Jovian Jun 20, 11:04
I give it an A. They faithfully followed the plot and setups Martin had in the first book without bogging down in the minutiae he had - while not - decline Jun 20, 10:51
A+ -- nm - crash davis Jun 20, 10:50 1
- the ending shot was magnificent -- nm - crash davis Jun 20, 10:52
2 episodes too short and the budget is too small. The books are epic in scope and the TV show is much more focused. B+ for the TV show. -- nm - TWuG Jun 20, 10:50
The finale is a B and so is the season. There has been a lot of table setting but not enough action. -- nm - David Jun 20, 10:49 9
- This is what I'd give it and why. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 20, 10:50 8
  - they don't have the budget for massive battles -- nm - crash davis Jun 20, 10:51 7
    - that was pretty clear and that's Ok. At this point unless you're Peter Jackson you're going to fall short. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 20, 10:58 6
      - I think Rome was a template "We're HBO. We can't afford big battles, so in the meantime, here are some breasts" - crash davis Jun 20, 11:00 5
        
        good point. the one flaw in that show was the lack of battles. - Mel Profit Jun 20, 11:11 4
        
        I didn't mind it. - znufrii Jun 20, 11:14 2
        
        It was needed for the Battle of Pharsalus. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 20, 11:20 1
        
        On the contrary, that was specifically what I had in mind when I wrote the above. -- nm - znufrii Jun 20, 11:27
        
        one of the most amazing things to me about Return of the King is how they took a limited number of horsemen and turned it into a huge Rohirrim host... - crash davis Jun 20, 11:13
