Nice to see another Game of Thrones fan. I think you just named the trifecta of the only drama I watch for a whole season. Kinda liked the Wire, sorta liked Boardwalk Empire, watched the pilot of Homeland. But none of them have grabbed me. Of course I'm a big fan of the Game of Thrones books, well before it was cool and a TV series I might add, so I'm very pleased to see it converted to the small screen. Buying the Blu-ray of GoT S1 when it comes out of course.
Bugger the Starz website has blocked Ep1 for anyone outside the USA. I'll see it eventually. I do love the scripting and the way they use language in a way that's completely different from any other TV shows.
Shout out to the considerable New Zealand involvement in the Spartacus, from actors to production staff, even some of the directors for some episodes. A lot of old hands from Xena in there, including of course Xena herself, and the Xena series creator.
