Game of Thrones???

[Woochifer]

That was special. Seems that its gonna be a loooooong wait till next Spring. But at least there's True Blood and Boardwalk Empire to keep me from breaking out in hives. Man, I hate being so easily hooked. But I did manage to pass the aflliction on. A co-worker of mine cussed me out this morning. He doesn't have HBO at home but managed to find it in a hotel he was staying in while on the road... He watched 8 episodes in a row in one night... THAT is being hooked.

Later

Dang, holing up in a hotel room for 8 hours watching this?! That's hardcore for any TV series. I didn't even know that HBO scheduled this kind of sadistic marathon!

I've yet to watch True Blood (the whole vampire genre just doesn't do anything for me), and lots of HBO's other recent stuff hasn't caught on with me. Boardwalk Empire has its lapses, but overall a very good series.

You say yer easily hooked ... does that mean you confess to being one of those loyal viewers that stuck with John From Cincinnati?

Many carriers of HBO and, other premium channels, offer a free service called "On Demand" whereby subscribers can avail themselves of most of their programming at their own convenience. In our case,with Comcast, we can generally access the entire season of their current serials (and fairly current movies and specials) such as Tru Blood, Game of Crowns, Boardwalk Empire, and whatever else might be out there. ...at least for a period of time.

There's also HBO Go, which launched last month and allows you to stream online via browser or iOS/Android app. Of course, you have to already be an HBO subscriber, but it's pretty cool because there several series, both past and current, already loaded up that allow you to stream from start to finish. None of HBO's series have been made available on Netflix or any other streaming service.

The funny part of Worf's story is that this is somebody who does not have HBO, and planted himself up in a hotel room for 8 straight hours watching Game of Thrones.

In an effort to stave off complete and absolute cold turkey witdrawal from the world of Westeros, I've started watching the series all over again from the beginning. Knowing the characters and the houses now make watching the first three episodes far more informative this time around. Yes HBO on Demand is a beyoootiful ting!
