They told that some characters that died in the books would survive and vice versa, the 2nd book was a really fun read due to its "main" character, but I'm so curious about what little plot twists they added / removed during rewriting.

Plus there are so many things happening, I'm wondering how they gonna fit all of it in just 10 episodes...

I really wish we'd stop discussing the book. Especially considering the bigass fucking warning in the top. Thank you.

Don't know why, but the trailer didn't really do it for me. Decent, I guess, but... I can't put my finger on it, something's off.

Seriously... I was grasping at the screen after it finished... there are few trailers i've been more hyped by after watching. April can't come soon enough


I think what was off was the content inside, they didn't really give much sustenance or "meat" for us to hold on to, besides the period between 0:55 and 0:57 which was a bunch of frames that we could barely process given the screentime.

The trailer was really well-made though!
Don't let those anti-cheese advocates tell you what to do. Rush to meet life head on!

Maybe it's just harder to build up hype for someone who has read the books, I dunno.

HBO was really faithful with the first season but I fear with only 10 episodes a lot of non-major events are going to get cut out in this season and the next. Got to hope they don't completely omit the battles like they did with Whispering Wood in the first season.

So rumors that I have read online indicated that Season 3&4 will be shot back to back(LotR style). And that 3&4 will both be on a Storm of Swords. That makes sense as that book has so much happen in it.

I really, really, really hope this is true. Book 3 was just too long for 10 episodes. 20 shoudl do.

As for that trailer... Ihad to watch it multiple times. SO SICK.
It showed no dragons though. And no wolves.

I hope they CGI the wolves. Give me more wolves. ;_;


I saw some vods on the production on HBOs official website and the guy who was responsible for animation said hes excited for the dragons and direwolves, the wolves are gonna be as big as horses, like in the book, and therefore CGI.

What about us poor Europeans? I want to watch many American tv series.. i mean it's gold compared to the trash we get on the dutch television... but hard to get things legal and now hard to get things illegal as well (with filesonic etc down).

Honestly HBO is $15/mo. $45 per season is not a bad price at all considering a) you would pay twice that for ten hours of content at the movie theater, b) you get other decent shows like Boardwalk Empire and Entourage (which may or may not be something you'd like), c) you get loads of movies (like ten HBO channels + 6-7 Cinemax channels + On Demand and HBOGo/MaxGo), and d) Game of Thrones alone is worth every penny to be honest.

Yeah, it would be nice to have some kind of standalone deal but the price they ask is more than fair anyway.

I didn't find out about it the first time I read the series through, and only picked up on it after I saw the series. So I don't think it's that obvious.

I was a little worried at the end of season 1 when they made Arya's killing of the stable boy look like an accident. I thought that maybe they would soften Arya's character up. But from the tiny clip in the trailer, I think they are going to depict her as the apathetic killer she is :D

aren't ready for the idea of a strong masculine man that just happens to be sexually attracted to men, so they decided to gay him up a bit

I REALLY like the way Jon Snow looks in the trailer. The night's watch ranging outfits add +10 to badassery. For the longest time I thought he was poorly cast, but seeing him in this trailer makes me excited for the north of the wall scenes.

I cannot wait.

Assuming you have cable, which I don't. So I'd have to buy basic cable, and then get an HBO 'package.' It's ridiculous that they don't have an online ppv available for it for those of us that don't watch enough TV to justify the monthly payment, they'd make so much more money. Instead, it's going to be pirated and then I'm going to buy the DVD's (which I would have done anyway given how excellent the show is).

The trailer was sick, though. I'm so insanely pumped for April =D

SHUT UP YES IT WAS

Also, thank you to whoever told me about the CGI dragon/wolves. :D Stoked!

To all of you commenting on Jon's badassery...
What? Where do you even see him? Is he that guy who's shown for half a second in the black armor and the full helm?
Oh god I cant wait to see CGI Ghost.

On a related note, Dany looks pretty good in that trailer there. Being all crazy bitch 'i'mma take it' and shit.
I''m sort of excited to see the clothing in Quarth. Hope they stay true to the books. That sounds neat.

And Arya looks very boyish. Which I guess was the intent.
WeeEEeeEEEeeEEEeeeEEee!!
