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.. |

Loads of little bits of foreshadowing in the episode. It's spoilerlicious so see below

I tried to read the first novel years ago, but couldn't get into it. I have a limited taste in fantasy...Wolfe (arguably sci-fi but why quibble), Donaldson, and Tolkien.
After watching that, I think I'll give it another shot. I was impressed. - Wasn't the midget the same guy who played Bijaz in Children of Dune?

The first episode was excellent. I'm hooked. Gotta resist all these spoilers though, I'm always tempted to click. |

You know how you felt when Jaime pushed the kid out the window, and you were like, "Holy shit! He just pushed a little kid out the window. What kind of sick bastard would write that kind of shit into a script? Worse... why do I find it so compelling?" Prepare to feel that way a lot.

Don't do it. The twists in this, and I mean violent, HOLY SHIT! twists, should not be ruined. You'll just be cheating yourself.
