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.. |

I watched the pilot for "Falling Skies" from last Sunday. WHAT AN ABORTION! Admittedly I have DVRed this Sunday's episode just to give a show with Spielberg's name attached to it one more chance. I have a feeling that this episode is probably the last I'll watch though.

For some reason, I always pictured Stannis as a younger version of Christopher Lee playing Count Dooku. Just looked up Eccleston, and I think he could be a decent Stannis. He's got a pretty good 'stern' face.

I don't think Eccleston would work as Stannis. He fits Greyjoy much more in my mind.

He has that lean, hungry, 'Pyke' look to him. I see him as a great Greyjoy. I always saw Kenneth Branagh w/ Edmure. And as I have no creativity whatsoever, yes, Alan Rickman has been my Stannis. The Hans Gruber/Sheriff of Nottingham era Rickman. He just has that droll way about him that fits Stannis well in my eyes.

Not even close to how I've envisioned him. Tall, broad-shouldered and lean, not scarecrowish like Eccleston. A thinner, dour version of Robert, basically. And bald, or balding.

Question:
While I was still getting used to all the names and accents, I missed the story of the Khalesi's protector. What's his story in a nutshell? |
