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.

Good episode.

Once again I'm impressed with the amount of foreshadowing and clue-dropping the directors are doing. For those who have read the books, there's so much to pick up on that will come into play down the road. As others have pointed out, the decisions that people make in the present often come back to haunt them. People's strengths are also their weaknesses.

On the other side of things I am wondering where Starks youngest daughter is hiding out and if she will be OK. Love the fire in that girl.

It was also cool to see that dude that had been touched by the white walkers. We seem to learn somethign new about the walkers each week. Just enough to keep us wanting more.

My one complaint in the series, and it's minor, is that they are rushing the story as compared to the books. That's to be expected, especially given the size of the novel, but there just seems to be a fast forward button they're hitting to make sure they're cramming everything into this season. That being said, this series is fantastic. They've done a incredible job bringing the story to life.

I completely agree. I really, really wish they had done a 12 episode season instead of 10.

Something else I like about the series is that, like the books, there are no out-and-out flashbacks to give you the back story. Everything you know about the time before the first scene of the series has been through dialog. It would have been very easy for them to have thrown in a few flashbacks to fill in the back story, and I'm glad they didn't.

They probably could've used a network-length full 24-episode season.

The problem is the expense...

This show has got to cost a fortune every episode. The sets and locations are all top notch.

Okay, I must have missed something.

What in the hell was going on in the scene where Bram and the slave girl were at the tree?

Who was the fat naked guy that just came over, stared at them a few seconds, and then walked off?

The tree is like a temple for the "old gods" of the North who the Starks still worship. There are sacred groves, called Godswoods, located in quite a few places (Jon Snow took his vows at one just north of the Wall). The weird bleeding tree is called a heart tree. Bran was praying to the Gods to be with his family during these times and the wildling (the slave girl) came upon him. The two of them talked about the gods and the life beyond the wall.

The big dude is Hodor, the same guy who was carrying Bran around and has made a few random appearances here and there. He's a halfwit, who says nothing but Hodor, and will have his part to play before it's all said and done.

Why was he naked? Why did they not seem surprised he was naked? Is he mentally handicapped?

I just didn't get the point of him being there in the nude at all, but granted I was not sober when I watched it last night.
