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.. |

Yeah, my only disappointment in the episode was that we didn't get to see Robb and Grey Wind fight. It's true to the books as there is no POV character at the fight and you only hear about it secondhand, but I was hoping they would show some of the battle in the series. Oh well, we should see a true battle next season though.

wanting the blond bastard king dead is only slightly more desired then wanting his skank mom dead. Hopefully both die a extremely horrific death.
hopefully redhead daughter will marry him and then poison him in his sleep. A poison that takes days to kill him. maybe the will pull a Revenge and chain that bitch mom in a hut somewhere and pimp her out to anyone with a gold piece.

Re: the latest ep: For all the sadness, my heart SOARED with Robb telling Jaime he won't be playing this his way. Great addition to the lore of the book.

Evidently the guy in the reaction vid does TV reviews. Here's his longer sitdown rant.
NSFW due to language.

I have a handful of friends that have been watching the series, and just like me, none of them have read the books. Every single one of them is absolutely hooked after last night. It is all we've been talking about this morning. I bet most GoT noobs are the same way. |

I hate that damn Littlefinger with the moustache even more now for backstabbing Ned. Somebody must put a stop to his sneaky ways.

Best line of the episode:
"Did you get a look at his daughters?" |

I noticed that; I was a little surprised actually. That would've done a lot to show just how big a **** Tywin is and it wouldn't have taken more than another 15 seconds of dialogue.
Maybe they should've spent less time having Renly get his nipples shaved... Quote:
That line and his 'do i have a choice' when she asked his consent kinda made him look like a petulant frat boy. I wasn't a fan.
