Three episodes into the first season of HBO’s adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire and I’m a little annoyed because it’s making most of the other shows I watch seem shallow and shoddy. The good thing is that the episodes are so good I can rewatch them a few times 🙂

Game of Thrones
I watched the first episode of Game of Thrones last night. It’s been a while since I read the books so I can’t comment on small inaccuracies, but overall it seemed a remarkably good adaptation. I hope the show achieves sufficiently good ratings for season two to be made.
Discussion of the show here and here and here.
[Edit]
And after just one episode has aired HBO has picked up a second season of the show!

Sucker Punch
Went to see Sucker Punch with my sister this evening. She gave it a 10/10 rating. I wasn’t quite as enthused but I would give it 8/10 as a beautifully made post-narrative film.

Source Code
Saw Source Code today. Fast-paced, not too long, well acted and didn’t creak at the joints.

A Dance With Dragons
The Killing
After ten weeks The Killing ended last night with a satisfying finale and a teaser for the next series to be shown later this year.
I have to say it again – a satisfying finale! How many shows have managed that lately?

More Open
JP Teti:
The iPad only does less than a regular computer to us geeks. To
everyone else, it does more. This is what Motorola and Google and
Samsung and BlackBerry and everyone else, with the sole exception
of Apple, do not get about “open” computing.Astute analysis of the iPad to regular folks.

I know a lot of people who would get along better with an iPad than a regular computer 🙂
