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.. |

Figured someone might have been DVR'ing the emmys, so erred on the side of caution.

There was no question that he was going to win it.

Somewhat disappointed that was the only award they got (tonight). But not a surprise for a new show.

Just to further your point, I read this elsewhere: The only other SFF show to take home an Emmy was Futurama, which won the Award for Outstanding Animated Program. |

I'm happy that Peter won, but as great as Tyrion is in Game of thrones, he is freaking awesome in Clash of Kings. Next Season of Game of Thrones should get Dinkledge another nomination for sure.

I just finished Feast for Crows, and it was pretty good. It was a little slow, but not appreciably more so than Clash of Kings. There were some freaking amazing parts in Feast. I'm not understanding all the negative reviews of that book. I loved it!
Now, I'm finally digging into Dance... It's starting slow, but I'm keeping my mind open on this one. |

If GRRM is trying for sympathy, he fails on that number. But I don't think that's his intent. My hate for Cersei is truly glorious by the end. That ending is BAD ASS! I loved it.

I think you're safe, pants, although your interpretation of the final couple of books could always differ from mine.
