It's out on DVD already, but that's not much help.

That's how I got to see the first season -- on DVD. But I borrowed it for free from my public library.

Just when I start to forget that you're a librarian, you remind me.

“Thrones” is the rarest of the rare — a TV show with lofty intellectual ambitions that manages to be entertaining and even strangely relevant at the same time. How so? Think of “Game of Thrones” as a long meditation on opposites — light and darkness, north and south, night and day, fire and ice, realism and magic, true gods (and kings) and false idols, country and city, good and evil — and how these rule human affairs, notably the quest for power. That’s your connective thread, or (better yet) your flashlight, as you pick your way through the dark mysterious byways of this thrilling series.

Is it too late the ask for a name?
