Is there a new actor for Loras? He looked different in the character preview.
Same actor, but they changed his hair and attire.

Not sure but from their descriptions/looks u can tell they were swapped They didn't swap their names; Will is still the tracker and Gared is still the grizzled old veteran. They swapped which one was killed by the Others and which was beheaded for deserting. In the book, Will is killed and Gared deserts, in the show Gared is killed and Will deserts. | ||

The store has Stark, Lannister, and Targaryean for shot glasses. They also have mugs and steins of those three as well as additional houses - Baratheon, Greyjoy, Tully, Arryn (a sick design, as seen below). + Show Spoiler [House Arryn] + ![]() I think the coolest one I saw was this Night's Watch one, but I opted to get a mug from my favorite show, The Wire. (It says "ALL IN THE GAME YO"). + Show Spoiler [Night's Watch Mug] + ![]() You can buy them online as well. The Baratheon stein was really nice looking but I figured 2 purchases was enough. | ||

MovieCentral and HBO Canada announced today that they will be hosting a FREE all-day Game of Thrones marathon at the Vancity Theatre on March 23rd in anticipation of the upcoming Season 2 premiere. Ever wanted to sit on Westeros’ famed Iron Throne? Declare your allegiance to the Lannisters or the Starks? Now’s your chance! The marathon will begin at 8 am at the VanCity Theatre on Seymour Street and run all day with the season one finale screening at 6 pm. All screenings are totally free and first come/first serve (the theatre has a capacity of 170, so come early!) There will also be photo opportunities with the Iron Throne, as well as costumed characters from the show. I want to go but I wish it wasn't on a Friday. http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2012/03/own-the-throne-marathonvancouver-date-iron-throne/ | ||

Do they call their names in the opening scene? In the famous source text of a famous tv show, Will is the one who saw the camp with the corpses, but the tv show deserter looks more like Gared. To be honest, they changed very much about the opening scene anyway. But there are some interesting details in it, they did not forget, like the language of the White Walkers, which sounds like cracking ice. | ||

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/16/entertainment-us-tv-gameofthrones-idUSBRE82E1BI20120316 (Reuters) - HBO's award-winning fantasy drama "Game of Thrones" has earned a new crown: the largest first-week DVD sales among any series in the cable network's history. Season one DVD sales reached about 350,000 units in the first seven days following its March 6 release, the network said on Thursday. That pace ranks ahead of other popular HBO series including "The Sopranos," "Sex and the City" and "True Blood." The program also set an HBO series record for sales of digital downloads from outlets such as iTunesapple, the network said, but it did not provide figures. I can't wait to see the season two premiere numbers. I think they will be huge | ||
