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.

Jorah, the Andal, I heard what you did, choose any horse, it is yours. I make this gift to you.
And to my son, the stallion who will mount the world, I will also pledge a gift. I will give him the iron chair that his mother's father sat upon. I will give him the Seven Kingdoms. I, Drogo, will do this. I will take my Khalasar west to where the world ends and ride wooden horses across black salt water as no Khal has done before. I will kill the men in iron suits and tear down their stone houses. I will rape their women, take their children as slaves, and bring their broken Gods back to Vaes Dothrak. This, I vow. I Drogo, son of Bharbo. This I swear before the Mother of Mountains, as the stars look down in witness. AS THE STARS LOOK DOWN IN WITNESS!!!

Between last week and this, I swear to GOD, my firstborn of the female persuasion, has Calissi somewhere in her name.

Last week's Syrio? PWNED!!

Not to be a nerd, but it's Khaleesi. It's an honorific marking her as the wife of the Khal.

No Tyrion. Dinklage has been amazing in that role. Every time he's on screen I pay a little extra attention.

I beat you to it. I bought a Bulldog puppy two weeks ago and named it Khaleesi.

Have never read the books, but just watched the seven episodes over the last two days. Good show. Dinklage kills it in every scene he's in (I only wish he was in more of them).

I usually wait until the end of seasons to watch shows like this, but I heard too many good things.

That was kind of how I felt after Haley gave McDaniels the finger.

I WILL RAPE THEIR WOMEN

That Khal Drago scene is what gave him the part of the show, the way he did it in audition and it also got him the Conan Part.

Last episode, Ned ordered his daughters back to Winterfell. However, I don't believe we saw them go back. Very interested after the ending of this latest episode.
