Find someone you know who owns the DVDs or subscribes to HBO and watch with them.

Oh right, now I have 30 episodes to watch before the next season starts
Should be getting HBO within the next couple weeks. Gonna try to see if directv will hook me up with a trial or a reduced price when my contract is up.
Nah... I need to refresh my DVR movie collection anyways from the last time I had the premium channels. Besides, full HD + surround sound on my 60" flatscreen is a much better viewing experience than whatever quality I can find on pirate bay or wherever and watching on my computer monitor
Seems like I can get at least 6 months of HBO for the cost of buying all 3 seasons on DVD/bluray...
I appreciate the suggestions but I wasn't really looking for an alternative to HBO. I'm getting it, just leveraging my contract position with directv to try to get it for free/reduced price rather than full price. I will get more out of HBO than just watching GoT, and then I'll be able to watch the next season as it airs as well.
This Game of Thrones show turned out to be pretty decent. Each season has gotten progressively better IMO. Still got a few episodes left in season 3 before I'm caught up. My favorite episode (so far) was when Dany got her unsullied army.
My wife's been watching with me (she hasn't read the books), and she's been complaining about being a little lost and the show being a little slow at times. She's having a little troubling keeping track of who all the characters are. She also complains about how every time she finally figures out who a character is they get killed off, which makes me chuckle inside a little bit.
I was fighting back tears the entire Rains of Castamere episode trying hard to not give anything away for my wife. I think its harder to watch knowing what is about to happen.
GEE how can we make the RW even more sadder and shocking than the book? OH IDK how about we make Robb's wife pregnant and kill her off too!
My wife was royally pissed off by it which I knew would happen. She got even more pissed and almost stopped watching entirely after Ygritte shot Jon because she thought he was gonna die too. Basically the same reaction I had when I got to that part in the books, where I almost stopped reading because it was all so depressing and pointless. I wanted to tell her it gets less depressing soon, but she'll have to read the books or wait.
. Roughly 3 months and a week to read all 5 books. Now what am I going to do with my life?
