Yeah, all of a sudden this Stannis guy is really important - and the lady with the red hair.  Whatever happened to daddy Lannister?  Tywin??  I guess one of the issues that is starting to show up is there are A LOT of groups vying for power.  In season one it seemed to just focus mainly on the Lannister's and the Stark's.  I enjoyed Cersei's comment in the latest episode about how many claims to the throne there are now - 5, 6??  LOL!
Well, Tywin is out running the war which is why he sent Tyrion to be Hand in his stead. He will show up later in this season, I assume. And yeah, Stannis is important, as are Theon and his family. It's all setup, which for the unitiated to the books might get a little confusing. It was actually my main concern prior to the series. Believe it or not, they have pared down the incidental characters significantly. Going forward, many of the new families, storylines, and characters will be around and important for some time. It's just these intros...

I really like how they are playing Melisandre - that is more or less how I envisioned her while reading.

Season one was pretty much about the Lanisters, Baretheons, Starks, and Dany's family.

Season two still is about the same major families, but there are just more of them and the people that work for them. It will begin to make sense, but the confusion you are feeling seems right because that's how the people are feeling about all of these sudden kings.

idk, I'm keeping up most of the time and I haven't read the books.  I think the only confusion I had was the new King and red-headed woman and what their allegiance is and blah blah blah. 

That said, going pretty good.

Yes, that is the one.  They have taken a few liberties with her.  She will be an important character going forward.

And her freakiness hasn't even reared its head yet!

OK, I'm most of the way through Ep 1 despite my plans not to bothe with it :)

My main issue is actually trying to remember what happens to a number of characters in season 1. I know they 'went' but I'm stuck trying to remember just where they went. (I assume they're dead but can't recall).

I guess I should try and find a season 1 recap site somewhere since I'm talking TV continuity rather than book.

I know it's unnusual here but I don't have a podcast of my own.

I hope this shows up on Netflix one of these days. Or Hulu.

I imagine streaming will never happen.  I don't know about the DVDs...can you even get DVDs of the HBO shows like Sopranos or the Wire from Netflix?  If those aren't available I'd say that GoT will never happen.
