@dlowan,
I've been watching Game of Thrones; it's pretty good, IMO.

@dlowan,
Decent Fantasy world, though the dramatic constellations are little too artificial for my taste. Decent dialogue. The nekkid women are nice. And if bare-breasted, muscular warriors are more to your liking, there are some of those, too. That said, I haven't warmed up to it the way I have to almost everything else on HBO.

@dlowan,
Yes, it's based on a series of books. As to the zombies, the screenwriters have cleverly covered their tracks by calling them "the White Walkers". But they aren't fooling anyone. They're zombies alright.

I sense exasperation in your question. Are you an antizombieist?

@Thomas,
I'm all in favor of nekkididity . . . but i've always taken a dim view of sword and sorcery fantasy images of nekkid warriors. Nekkid warriors don't last in combat . . .

@Setanta,
There is actually some decent discussion of the cost/benefit of body armor in the books and the series.

@mckenzie,
She probably hated it, and is avoiding A2k in case she hurts our feelings.
