Does anyone know why they named the series Game of Thrones instead of A Song of Ice and Fire?


Probably because it has a lot more mainstream appeal that way.


I think it's also because Game of Thrones is a title that makes sense throughout the series. They are certainly not going to rename the show each season to fit the books.

Holy shit. Okay, I always thought the Lannisters' armor looked kinda eastern. But then I realized: the crown is up to their eyeballs in debt to them! Zomg they = China.

Yeah, Game of Thrones is referenced in the book and show whereas the actual title is not.

It is probably a better title for the series - especially because having a different title for the books and the show is actually not a bad idea.

So are we going to allow people to discuss stuff from the books that will be in s2....? Because if you are lenient on book discussion here it's inevitably going to happen...

first casting news for s2 and its really exciting. Natalie Dormer, from The Tudors fame(played Anne Boleyn) has been casted as Margaery Tyrell, Loras's younger sister. ( source http://winter-is-coming.net/2011/06/natalie-dormer-to-play-margaery-tyrell/#comments )

Wow, she is really a bigger name than i expected for this part, and she is a bit on the old side but i am confident she can pull it off. The girl is gorgeous and im really excited for the rest of the casting news now. Stannis, Melisandre and Brienne should be really really good.

As spectacular as the episodes were, it was annoying to watch a soldier failing at sheathing his sword (no metaphors). [Very minor spoiler ahead] Take Episode 8 for example, when Barristan Selmy is relieved of his command of the Kings Guard. While he is leaving, the other Kings Guards are sheathing their sword, or at least trying to. If you look again at the far right knight you'll notice that he's yet to sheath his sword by the time the camera is switched - that's almost a full six seconds! These knights are supposed to be the best of the best meaning they're comfortable enough to at least learn how to pull out, wield, and SHEATH THEIR SWORD efficiently, and I'm very disappointed at how poorly the actors portrayed the later part.

The actors in Takashi Miike's 13 Assassins did a superb job in this specific area. If you haven't watched 13 Assassins I highly recommend it, it's even been mentioned in the movies forum multiple times on teamliquid. If you do watch it, please watch how smoothly the actors are able to sheath their katanas. They didn't even look at their scabbard. A lot of the actors in Game of Thrones did look and still had trouble putting away their swords.


Hahaha, I noticed this while watching it.. I don't want to talk about it with other fans because the fanboys are insane, they aren't subjective at all and defend everything to the death! But some things in this show are... off... to say the least. Why they didn't reshoot that scene blows my mind, the guy is front and to the right, he tries not to move when he can't sheath it but its too obvious.

This is probably a reason why they stay out of battle scenes, the extras in big battle scenes are often terrible. It never looks good, NEVER. The only movie I approve of was LOTR and they CGI'd shit, so its hard to do and expect so I just go with it.

Last Samurai also had excellent battle scenes.

This is plain wrong And I'm not saying anything more because it could be considered a spoiler, somehow.

im sorry to ruin it for you, but last year about this time there were many discussions here about casting news, its all that is left for us until next year.
So until some op says casting news are not allowed anymore i will asume they are ok.

The rules for this thread today are not the same as those 1 year ago.

But what is the point of bringing up the casting of new characters in season 2 when we can't even discuss book 2 characters in this thread?

there is nothing in the rules above about casting news, i read them before posting.
The point of bringing up casting news is that they relate to the tv show. X actor has been casted as Y character.
Discussing book 2 characters on this thread would mean automatic book 2 spoilers. It's pretty logical to me, but i guess you need an explanation laid out so i'm happy to oblige.
Again if i broke some unwritten rules and casting news are no longer allowed here a mod can move the post to the right topic.

My initial point was that we can't even discuss the character that was cast in this thread anyways, why not post it in the thread where people can talk about the character.

wtf you people are going fucking crazy about this spoiler shit
This is about the show, how is it a spoiler to mention that an actress was picked to portray a character in the show?!?! He didn't mention anything about her storyline, just her name and her relationship to an established character, good god people calm down. Sure it's appropriate for the spoilered discussion, but there's a TON of shit that is in that thread that someone who wants to discuss the casting of next season would NOT want to see

the book the show was based off up to this point is called Game of Thrones. i do think they should have done it more like Lord of the Rings though and had it say something like A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones, because even though season 2 isn't gonna be Game of Thrones, if they don't call it Game of Thrones it might be confusing to non-readers since it wasn't so obvious

It could be obvious. They could just have Joffery chillin on the throne under Clash of Kings so it is easy to see the parallel.

I don't mind, it's just shorter and half as many syllables, easier to say for a T.V. show.

It isn't that big of a deal, you will just say "Game of Thrones Season 2" and book readers will know that correlates to A Clash of Kings.

The first book is called 'A Game of Thrones'. All of the book titles are preceded by the indefinite article.

A Clash of Kings
A Storm of Swords
A Feast for Crows etc

Whenever I hear 'Game of Thrones', I assume the subject is the TV series cuz I'm all nitpicky n that.

I'm fine with keeping that title for the second season for simplicities sake; A Clash of Kings as a title isn't going to be erased from existance, it just serves the book over the TV show.
