I've found Dany boring pretty much from the beginning (in both book and show). It's odd as I think her story is actually quite interesting, it's just her! I really hope she doesn't end up with the Iron Throne, she'd probably bore everyone to death and still be whingeing about her dragons.

Same here and I know I shouldn't but I tend to skim her chapters, mainly because she bores me. When I watch the show on TV I have to watch it but once I get the DVD's I FF her scenes. I don't know why, but I find her incredibly tedious and think Iain Glen is wasted in the show!

I don't mind Dany. She's an important part, though, isn't she?
I was thinking with regard to prequels, perhaps GRRM doesn't want the series to end so is putting off the moment! After all he's lived with these characters for quite a few years, they must seem so real to him - it will be difficult to let go.

[quote=""Madeleine""]I imagine there'd be quite a bit of back story too - for the Starks and Lannisters alone, whose history is hinted at in the books but not gone into in great detail.[/quote]
I'd also like to know what the terrible event at Summerhall was? I would read and watch the prequels once GRRM finishes the first series of Game of Thrones.
