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.. |

Yeah, Martin's running a hell of a troll on all of us concerning Snow's parentage. The tease in Dance with Dragons was great.

Okay, now I'm dying to know what Dance will add to Jon's story. Since Feast and Dance are both on be same timeline, would it be safe for me to read Dance of Dragons first?

That said, I would actually wait and read them in order. |

Hmm... I only have Feast at the moment, so I'll do that to begin with, but I might read them both at once. Of course that depends on me getting the last book before I finish Feast. Sept and Oct are big B-Day months for my kids, so I'll be broke for awhile! Toys, clothes and DS games are going to have me tapped out for a few weeks. :P

It's his own private jape. This is known.

I wouldn't read Dance just for the tease on Jon's parents, it's only a few lines in a huge book. Parts of Dance occur after Feast and pick up where Feast left off, so it will throw you off to read them out of order unless you start skipping around to different POVs which would be a pain.
