HBO greenlights A Game of Thrones pilot! (spoilers)
EDIT: Changed the original header to mark this as the thread where spoilers are allowed (but not necessarily recommended...). Created a new, spoiler-free thread for Ice and Fire virgins...
This is awesome... Huge, Huge News Nov. 11th, 2008 at 10:29 PM HBO has given the production order. They will be filming the pilot episode of A GAME OF THRONES. It's just the pilot so far. They'll need to see that before they decide whether to proceed with a full season's episodes. So let's all hope the pilot will kick serious ass. It should. David Benioff and Dan Weiss did a terrific job with the script. And yes, all of you can relax, it's very faithful. Dan and David will be the executive producers for the pilot and (we hope) the eventual series. More details when I have 'em. The news is very fresh. HBO just issued their own press release, which should be up on their website soon, if it's not there already. Winter is coming to HBO. Hot damn. Last edited by keg in kc; 04-25-2011 at 03:58 PM.. |

The stuff with Daenerys was always the least interesting to me, at least early on in the books (got into it more later...). So that's probably part of the reason that it felt like the episode started a little slowly. But damn if it didn't end strong. Everything with the dire wolves was note perfect.
They're doing a tremendous job with this so far. It's only taken two episodes for this to become my favorite show on television right now. On any network. I love Justified to death, but this show has me wishing the next episode was on right the **** now. And it's the good shows that make the week until the next one seem reeealy long. |
