I'm quite eagerly awaiting this, but is it really HN material?

On a side note, their site doesn't work in Chrome 5 for Mac because of a browser detect, which is sorta on-topic for this site. This despite the site working fine if you click through and ignore the warning.

I debated it, but figured that most geeks are sci-fi types, and probably many HN readers had read ASOIAF. :)

FWIW, I'm running Chrome (on Windows), and I had no problems.

This had better not turn out like "Legend of the Seeker". I had so much hope for the adaptation of one of my favorite book series.

They also want me to "upgrade" to a browser other than Chrome in order to view their all-Flash site.

woah, hbo stands for quality miniseries. this will certainly be good.

Without a doubt. Best TV show I ever saw was HBO's "John Adams". If you haven't seen it, you should. It's based on the letters John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail, before, during, and after the Revolution.
