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'm not sure if you are referring to my comment, BRC. That happened already.

after they killed Starks sister, I'm sire I'm going to find out in some future episode. Again don't confirm publically.
As is most threads here specualtion by people who don't know is tolerated. If you know for sure, its spoiler tags. At least thats the way other threads in the media cneter have worked that I participated in, Lost, 24, Entourage etc,

Dude, I'm not following you, but before the show even started Cersei was married to Robert Bartheon, who is the king.

Oh ok, I think Keg might have made another thread in the Media Center for non-spoilers because most people in here have read the books.

Great, GREAT! episode. I love this show so much. They are really handling the source material well. I do miss some of the talk/argument about who is going with Ned and who is staying behind. That all happened so fast and weakens some of the characters, to a small degree. But whatever. I think everyone is getting the basic point.
Also, I loved the final scene.
Spoiler!

Leaving spoiler tags off since they separated out a spoiler free thread. |

Spoiler!
Also, something that bugged me about this week's episode was the scene where Jon says goodbye to Ned. Every map shows the Kingsroad running north/south with Winterfell on the west side. In this scene, we're looking in the direction of Winterfell, which means that right is north and left is south. However, Jon goes left (south) and Ned goes right (north). They're both going the wrong way. And yes, I realize it's an asinine thing to nitpick about, but it still caught my attention. |
