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.. |

That's hilarious! I think I've went through that same rationale a time or two.
I'm so stoked for season 2. I watched season 1 again and learned the theme tune on Guitar, Bass and Cello. It's pretty fun to play. It's one of the best TV shows themes I've heard in awhile. |

There are people who don't have HBO? Even the Wild Wonderful Whites of West Virginia have HBO.

March 6 release day for the blu-ray, according to Amazon. Of course, some stores screw up and put it out early and break street date, so it is possible you saw it.

Not everyone has cable or wants cable. That's kinda the point.... Right now, the only legal way to watch GoT is to have a cable account with HBO included.

Pre-ordered. Even if it miraculously drops, $34.99 is a price I can live with. It's a steal for this show! |

However, some friends of mine on another board said they ordered it when it was $44.99 and Amazon had not yet automatically taken action on their pre-orders. They said they each contacted Amazon and it was taken care of. |
