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.. |

Agree. The guy didn't have a braid, so if he was a bloodrider... he'd been defeated pretty recently.

Yeah, the guy was not a bloodrider, just one of the members of his khalasar. I think they did it that way to establish Dany as more and more of a queen with her telling the guy that she does rule him, but also just to give Drogo a chance to be a bad ass in single combat. Martin wrote this episode himself, so hard to complain about any difference from the books.

I get this feeling that the little girl, with her sword lessons, is going to save Daddy's ass.

I thought the sword fighting and the choreography in the last episode was top notch. The action through the entire episode was impressive. Momoa did an awesome job in his rage fueled ass-kicking. And Syrio was pretty bad ass as well. Overall, this was probably the most enjoyable episode yet...

Another bloody good performance for HBO’s Game of Thrones on Sunday: The 9 p.m. airing averaged 2.7 million viewers, up 22% since the series premiere. If you count the additional 900,000 people who tuned in two hours later, GOT lured 3.6 million viewers for the night. Sweet. Season to date, GOT has an average gross audience (linear plays, DVR and HBO On Demand) of 8.3 million viewers. |
