from a strictly writing standpoint the daily show has to get a mention... the script is written daily in only 6 hours! no other show of the same quality can say that (colbert report= Sleep

)

Bitches with balls that's who.

TBH, Game of Thrones doesn't actually HAVE a hero.

I'm reading the books, and no character is the most important or whatever. Each one has a small chunk of importance in his or her own right.

The lack of clear moral distinction is one of the most awesome attributes of the series. Unlike LOTR, where good is very clearly white, and bad is very clearly black or dark, the good and bad in the Song of Ice and Fire series is very very tough to spot. We can almost say there IS no hero or villain.

I can not wait for the next seasons, is it worth reading the first book after I have watched the season or is it fine to skip to the second?

Skip to the next book IMO. It's called Clash of Kings.

You won't find anything new in the Game of Thrones book - the series covers everything.
