Another Great Season
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Game of Thrones has been one of the most exciting series in recent years, and this season is no exception. This season is especially significant, as it's based on the first half of what many consider the best (or at least most exciting) book yet. Once again, the production values are stellar, with an excellent cast and first-rate streamlining of the massive, sprawling novels. Lots of important events happen, including the one everyone is talking about. The only downside is that, being based on half a novel, it leaves many plot threads dangling, and there's a lack of a sense of completion that previous seasons have, with some characters, such as Oberyn Martell, completely absent (though I'm sure it will be rectified next season). Nudity and violence have always been a part of this show, and while there's as much violence as ever, the nudity seems much less common this time around, particularly when it concerns regulars. Too often, the camera remain at shoulder level when women go topless, or foreground objects will block the best bits. One cast member flat out refused to go naked, and it ruins the scene. Most of the nude scenes this time around are bit players. Still, don't let that ruin your enjoyment, and if you thought the nudity of past seasons was distracting, you'll like the change.

Can't fully describe how good this show is
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a big fan of this show and a big fan of the book series it is based on. I picked up the books right after season 1 ended and couldn't stop reading them until I finished book 3, this book this one is based on. This show does a wonderful job of adapting all the things that make the book series so wonderful. If you are a fan of the show you will love this season. They have a very interesting and informative special feature regarding the 9th episode plus many other features that flesh the Realm out even further. Pros- Just as well written and acted as ever. Sets, designs, costumes, and locations look and feel just as varied as ever. Cons- I literally can't think of any. Except for each season should be at least one or two episodes longer to fit in more story or each episode should be a little longer. I can't recommend this bluray and series enough to anyone.

Best Show on HBO
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 3rd season of GoT was, by far, the best. The ninth episode of each season is always pivotal, and this season was no exception. The Red Wedding episode is probably the best, most heartbreaking episode of television I've ever seen. The DVD/Blu-ray extras are a lot of fun. Interviews, behind-the-scenes, and special effects are a favorite of mine. The people behind GoT do not disappoint. As usual, the packaging is beautiful, especially the editions sold by Best Buy. Being able to buy a set with one of three house sigils (Lannister, Stark, Targaryen) was a difficult choice, but for those who couldn't choose, there was also the standard packaging. The best part of this deal was the pricing for what you get. I got the DVD/Blu-ray/Digital Copy for $29.99 + tax, and I couldn't be happier.

Epic continues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Brace yourselves, because you won't see it coming. Long have I contemplated whether to read the books (avid reader as well as movie watcher) and season 3 settled it for me. Knowing what happens by reading the books would make looking forward to new season on blu ray each year lose it's appeal. It's how we never know who will be killed next, that sells this series for me. Fantasy setting is only icing on a very tasty cake. Prepare to be amazed by this best so far season 4! Blu Ray edition could do with some extras, save for usual commentaries and backgrounds on some families, but in the end I don't buy those for that purpose, so it's pointless complaint.

It's Game of Thrones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ah yeah this set is so ice cold it gave me freezer burn. What would have made it vanilla ice s if it was the Baratheon cover. Pretty lame that didn't include at least one new cover for the new season. It sucks even more because the Baratheon one is primarily black and would have looked much nicer next to my Targaryen and Greyjoy packaging. I guess it is some consolation that the Stark colors match with the Dragon Shadow standard cover packaged inside. However it would have been the best if they would have used the North Remembers red Stark wolf they used for the PAL exclusive season 1 and 2 bundle collection.

Another great season of GOT
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This season covers the first half of book three. It is another great season of GoT despite the fact it wasn't a very heavy action season. This season explored a more in depth look of the characters of the show. The show didn't disappoint as it ended with a nice cliff hangar. As far as features, it was nice of HBO to include a digital copy and DVD(s) just like last season. They should have started it with the first season but that was added much later. I was happy that Bestbuy decided to have the house sigil covers again and I hope they continue to do so till the end of the series.

One of the best TV shows of all time
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm normally not into fantasy stories like Lord of the Rings. When I first saw the trailer for HBO's TV series, I thought it looked like just that, a Lord of the Rings knockoff. But after hearing several friends talk about how great the show was, I decided to give it a shot and am so glad I did. While the show does have a lot of fantasy elements, it's not overdone and instead it focuses on the characters. I't a very deep, dark and adult oriented story, revolving a lot of polticial entrigue. GIVE THIS SERIES A SHOT! You won't regret it.
