Failing that, watch the Ukranian Eurovision contestant who is on now. HUBBA HUBBA HUBBA!

Is there a website like sexpotsofeurovision.com or something I can go to to look at them without having to listen?

Daenerys Targaryen - Game of Thrones Wiki

Actually it seems to be fairly common among them all. I should watch it maybe.

MF is the Hound - that whole violent aesthetically challenged permie thing.

Should I watch this? Is it really any good?

Read the books first.

It is really enjoyable, but I suspect most of the blokes here watch it for the full on nudity and blatant sex scenes, IIRC the first series had lots.

Can I recommend suity as Sansa?

Slightly worrying that your mind leaps from fulll on nudity to Suity

Actually, it's the male Dothraki.

First mentioned in the books: Many were Dothraki horselords, big men with red-brown skin, their drooping mustachios bound in metal rings, their black hair oiled and braided and hung with bells.

As ever, the women just copy what their masters do.

Was in the same boat a month or so back. Was sick-to-death of hearing about it and not knowing what the hell people were talking about.

My advice...

Watch the entire first Season and see if it's for you. A little slowish to get going, but pretty riveting once you get into it. Apart from the odd scene change, it follows the first book pretty religiously. Then read the first book, to fill out the characters, their world, etc. I found the extra depth of the book added greatly to my enjoyment of the show.

And next...

It's pretty tricky, as season two starts to diverge from the second book. The main plot lines are the same, but many of the secondary characters are missing from the tv show. Also, the interactions between characters play out very differently from the books. Many scenes in the second tv series are long drawn out affairs of endless romantic talk between characters, which gets a bit dull at times. The book is far better. Having said that, the second book isn't as good as the first one.

The current tv series covers the first half (or so the wiki pages say) of book three. The tv series drifts even more from the book. Again, the main plot lines are followed, but there is a lot missing, and the interactions between many of the major characters are very different. Book three is a little slow in places (like book two), but it really picks up the pace in the final quarter, making it overall a better book than book two.

If you do read all of book three, you'll be well ahead of the tv series. I've found the current tv series a little dull in comparison to the book, now that I've read all of it. I still watch the tv series, but mainly to see how they've changed things from the book. Book three is far better than the tv series, IMHO.
