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.. |

Davos's story began at Storms End when he was able to smuggle onions into the city during Mace Tyrell's siege, when Stannis was at Storm's End. |

That's right, Davos snuck the onions into Storm's End because that fact comes into play later on.

My books just showed up yesterday. I'm around 250 pages in and it's terrific. Should have read them a long time ago. I like having the faces of the characters already set in my mind. I'm looking forward to getting to the new content I haven't seen on the show. Don't think I'll catch up with the show before tomorrow's episode, though.

Tonight's is apparently the one written by George RR Martin. Should be interesting.

Fantastic episode tonight. This just keeps getting better and better.
Loved the shot where all the crows flew out of Winterfell at once. Epic. |

Robb Stark starting to come into his own. One thing I like about this series is that we see a lot more of Robb than in the books, where he's kind of a distant character seen only though other viewpoint characters' eyes.
Next two episodes should be boss... Battle of the Whispering Wood. Looking forward to seeing Dace Mormont, the Smalljon, and the Karstark boys.

Someone needs to make a gif of that Khal Drago scene, that was epic.
