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.. |

I made it about 20% of the way through storm of swords yesterday because everything I've read/heard has that being the best of the 4 so far and I've also been lead to believe that I'm about to lose some pretty damn good characters.
Please let one of them be Catalyn Stark. With every additional chapter, I come to like her less and less.

Not having read the books, I would really like to thank everyone who has read them and posted in this thread. You all have been VERY respectful of not spoiling Ned's death and other aspects of the story line that have developed.

Fortunately I read well ahead of the series or I'd have been just like that '****a ned' guy.

I can't decide if I want to read the books or not after the season is over.
On one hand, I can't get enough of the story and am dreading the long wait until Season 2 starts up. But on the other hand, all of the story's novels have not been released yet; if I read everything that has been released, I will still be waiting to see the conclusion of ASOIAF, only I will be deeper in the story. Hmmmm..... |

That would catch you up on details that were missing from the show without spoiling season 2...
