HBO greenlights 'Game of Thrones' to series

Ha Ha! You speak true, my friend.

 

The Dire Wolf in the picture doesn't look like how they described them in the book. They need to to work their CGI magic, cause these wolves look like little pugs.

 

That's because they aren't using Wolves. They are Northern Inuits.

Yeah, they look live Wolves to me.

 

Exactly how I imagined Arya. The voice and everything. Just perfect.

 

Sweet, Hodor

Wasn't Jaime seated on the throne when Ned walked in originally?

 

Yup to the poster above.

When does the first episode air?

 

April 17th.

 

That last clip has me more pumped than any of the others so far. I went back and started re-reading the book again.

 

Yeah, I've been considering it. My problem is that I already have a couple of things I'm reading and am unsure if I can finish the first book by April 17th. Still, I might give it a shot. It's staring at me from my bookshelf as I'm typing this, whispering "read me!!" ;-)-

 

I did my re-read of the series in July of last year as a refresher...that's also when I thought Dance With Dragons was going to be out by Christmas.

If you guys want a refresher and don't want to re-read the book, check out Tower of The Hand They have really good chapter synopses.

 

I always liked this depiction:

That's my problem with rereading anything. I always have other stuff on my "to read" list, but sometimes I just go back reread things or parts of things. In this case I'm rereading the whole book, at least that's my plan.

It's tough because I don't have as much reading time as I used to. I may try and find an audio version to listen to every time I'm in the car. That way I can still read new stuff, and get reacquainted with book.

 

Yeah, the wait for that book is hurting. Maybe the release will coincide with my re-reading. I've given up getting my hopes up though, despite the rumors I've been hearing.

I've heard that supposedly he's only got 4 chapters to go, and blah blah blah. I've resigned myself to the idea that it will be out when it's out.

 

****, he was "writing the epilogue" over a year ago. I think he just got writers block. Only explanation, really.
