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.. |

My only complaint so far is the lack of ghost. That wolf never left his side.
My guess is they couldn't find a white wolf. |

The interaction between Jon and Tyrion without ghost is just killing me. Those were some of my favorite parts in the book.

This episode gave me the first real sense of foreboding for the all the tragedy that's about to begin. It's going to be really interesting to see people's reactions by the end of the season. This isn't like anything that's ever been on TV before, and I think it's going to be shocking to many.

Agreed, I really came to enjoy Dany's chapters. I really liked Davos' character, and kept wanting his chapters to lead up to something more, but nothing ever seemed to happen with them.

Next week looks awesome, and should introduce a lot of new characters. Not checking my spelling of names, so likely wrong on some here, but some that come to mind are Thoros, Gregor, Loras, and Beric.

Speaking of intoduction of new characters, Varys was great, as were Pycelle, Syrio, Renly, and Lacel. They all blend in, but it is cool seeing knowing that they have parts to play in the story.

Yeah, there were a LOT of new characters introduced in this episode. Every member of the council was great, especially Petyr Baelish (Littlefinger) and Varys.
My favorite scene from last night was Robert eating and drinking in his room. Yelling at Lancel, trading war stories with Jaime and Barristan (who was awesome, btw), and finally Jaime telling Robert about the Mad King ("Burn them all"). Also, did anyone else think that Syrio looked like Robert Downey Jr with a fro? |

Thoros will get some time if they show any of the melee. |

Yeah, guessing Thoros and Beric will be quick glances, but will be there.

I don't know if there will be a melee. When they were going over the costs, they said 40,000 Gold Dragons for the winner of the tourney, 20,000 to the runner up, and 20,000 for the winner of the Archery contest. No mention of the prize for the melee.
