From the Wall in the north (behind which lurk the fearsome White Walkers) to across the Narrow Sea (which is sort of dull), the first season of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” has everything the George R. R. Martin book has, with perhaps more attractive naked people having sex in front of you. Also: Uncomfortable chairs.

Host Jason Snell with Dan Moren, John Siracusa, Scott McNulty, Serenity Caldwell and Monty Ashley.
