That trailer was AWESOME.
Great music, to boot. Christ, I hope they dont screw up this season.

No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.

Soooo looking forward to this season! I even broke down and read the first book and enjoyed it. I am excited about all the storylines, even Sansa and Bran. Those Lannisters are dirty rotten scoundrels, but I can't get enough of them! Tywin Lannister=JR Ewing.
Hopefully I'll finish the second book before the 31st.

Charles Dance is the guy playing Tywin and yeah, he's one of my favourite parts. He just hits it right out of the park. |

Haha, awesome. I got the reference right off. I watched that movie so much when I was a kid it burned itself into my mind. Later on in college I was riding around with some friends and the song Gone, by Kayne West started playing, which I had never heard before. It made that exact same reference (wait for the 20 second mark in that link) and I started laughing my ass off and pointing out how they just made a Golden Child reference. Everybody else looked at me like I was psychotic. Probably am. |

Rewatching season 2 on bluray, and never stop being impressed how well shot this is on a TV budget.
Aside from the comedy CGI dragons anyway.

I overall agree, but they really need to find a way to do battles better on their budget. Battle of the Blackwater was kind of a let down, for how epic it was suppose to be. Seems they're afraid to ever set themselves up for a scene where they can pan back and show a lot of men fighting. Other TV budget shows seem to have gotten away with it, not sure why they're afraid to try.

I was ok with blackwater, the thing about those other shows is that the scene with a thousand cgi soldiers inevitably looks terrible.
The darkness and keeping everything POV worked for me.
That said, I don't really see how they are going to cover . Qarth was a bit dodgy in season 2, and that storyline only gets harder to make real.

Eh, I'm actually fine with bad CGI battles. You only need to throw some in to get a sense of scale and general sway of the battle, then you can flash back down to the POV of the characters within it. Establishing the scope and narrative is more important for me than having non-shitty special effects, but I might be a minority in that.
But yeah, they're probably going to have to do that when it comes to some of the later stuff you just mentioned. No real way around it other than copping out and skipping it like they did with the Battle of the Green Fork.

1 day and 23 hours left 'til Season 3, gentlemen (as always, with Youtube and GoT, just to be sure don't read the comments if you want to stay away from spoilers) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pO2KTnLPaIAnd who are you, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat,
that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red,
a lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
as long and sharp as yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear. |

I bet Cersei winds up poisoning her dad. That bitch is cray cray.
So pumped for this show to start back up. Read the first two books and have no idea whats to come. I do know House Baratheon are the hard luck chumps. Is the actress playing Melisandre the same one? She looks different and younger.

Enjoyed last night premiere. Robb's scene was brief, Jon Snows story finally got interesting and Tywin Lannister is an unfit parent. Oh those care-free Lannisters!
Good episode. "I'm a sellsword. I sell my sword."

I find Jons talk with Mance was an interesting change from the book. In the book I am pretty sure he gave his reasons was he just let out a lot of pent up repressed anger at how he was treated at winterfel being a bastard and never really part of the family. His reasoning in the show was more noble but did not seem like an argument that would hold a ton of weight with Mance.

The lack of Strong Belwas and the instant recognition of Barristan makes me wonder how much of the Free Cities stuff is on the chopping block.

Why don't you try our other games?

There is no way to hide Selmy on screen, it works in the book but not on a show if you plan on using the same actor.

I've been feeling like a lot of the Free Cities stuff in the books was filler anyway. Would be glad to see it trimmed a lot.

Yup that is something that had to happen on TV. You can do it in a book but there is no way to do that on a tv show. |
