Season 3 Is Coming!

(From today's Denver Post)Never mind reality. "Game of Thrones" season 3 is coming!
The battle for power, territory and, mostly, survival continues in the grand multi-dynasty epic that has won a special place in the popular culture. Moving forward, the story is increasingly personal while no less sweeping and phantasmagorical.
The theme music alone coaxes us into an altered state. Return to the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros at 7 p.m. Sunday on HBO, and feel the blood, mud, glory and grit in TV's most visceral series.
Frankly, I enjoy the waking dream I fall into during the iconic, artful opening credits as much as following the narrative twists.
The tone is at once ancient and modern, mythical and otherworldly, edifying and lowbrow. Gallantry, villainy. Honor, deceit. Wisdom and eloquence; puns and zingers.
Have read the yet unfinished series, BUT, the TV version is amazing.
