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.. |

Great points made by all in the last few posts here, lots to think on.
Question: I just got done re-watching season 1 on HBO. Why does Maester Pycelle act like he is broken down and soft in the head in front of the whore in his room and everyone else then, when alone, he straightens up and cracks his back and appears just fine?

I thought he definitely came off as a pretty important piece for the Lannisters. Cesei, being the stupid **** that she is, never saw it that way, so too bad for him. I do think he was a Tywin loyalist to the core and was doing what had to be done to benefit the lion, though.
