Yup. Much of the dialogue is taken direct from the book. Martin didn't hold back.

That's too bad. Perhaps when it comes out on Blu-Ray/DVD you can take a look. This series has real potential I think.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
