Game of Thrones (TV talk) (CLEARLY MARK AND TAG BOOK SPOILERS IF YOU POST THEM) (READ FIRST POST)

Aaaand done. Can`t have enough of Tyrion and Arya videos, Jaime is looking good too, we get to see Tywin, some more Bronn and Renly. All in all this is almost too much goodness to handle at once, for sharing which i'm not sorry at all! My main concern is what the heck with making Cersei look sympathetic and why I don`t see any madness in most of Viserys' lines?

There are also some craft videos that i'm too lazy to post

^ Nice clips! Thanks for the post. Very excited about most characters.

**Ksandra** · 2011-03-17 11:37

Oh man, so excited.

I am a bit disappointed in the casting for Viserys, and it's hard to put my finger on it. On the few "angry" shots they showed I envision more crazy angry than controlled angry. Very minor though.

best thing these clips are showing is that even if there will be some changes (there has to be), for the most part they are staying true to the characters/plots.

[edit] since I mentioned it in the copyright thread, I REALLY hope all of you get hbo for this instead of just torrenting. I'd love to see multiple seasons, and if all the cheap ass nerds out there torrent, it won't happen.

And added to that, how do you know which hbo channel gets it? or the cheapest way? I have AT&T U-verse, and never had hbo in my life. I know when I flip through they have like 10 hbo channels now. is there one that's a dedicated hbo show channel or something?

^Future seasons would be great, but eventually (sooner rather than later) it will catch up to where the story is now in the books. Not sure how comercially that would work in favor of development.

well 5 is out in July and he's said a couple times that 6 and 7 will be quite a lot faster coming out because they won't be split like 4/5 was, so who knows

You're going to believe a guy who makes a living writing fiction?

**Qalbert** · 2011-03-17 13:45

just saying it's not impossible for them to be done, lol
1-3 were out fairly regularly, every two years or so, so there's a chance 6 and 7 might

^ I really hope he follows through with the last two books. The author is getting pretty old. Not that you can't be old and healthy.

Of course. Fat and healthy though?

I have HBO and can understand why it seems a bit confusing ... here at least we get about 10 SD HBO channels and 7 HD HBO channels i think? Honestly, my guess is that ATT U-Verse is the same as my Comcast, and if you pay for HBO you pay for the package and can't just handpick which HBO channels you get. There is HBO Signature, HBO 2, HBO Latino, Family, HBO Zone, HBO Comedy, etc. etc. For the most part if i remember correctly, the 'main' Series shows are on the Signature channel and then usually there is a East Coast and West Coast channel. I remember being able to watch True Blood at 6PM PST or 9PM PST. Then it will also be on the Latino channel. But yeah, honestly, looks like U-Verse charges you $16 a billing cycle for the HBO package.

**Ksandra** · 2011-03-17 14:57

kk sounds good, we're going to try and balance it out, because we've had extended cable for awhile, and we don't watch a lot of it. shouldn't be too hard to lower the cable parts to cover the 16$ for it.

And tbh we'd probably get more use out of hbo channels than most of the shit we have (all we ever watch now is like judge judy and the daily show lol)

**Doombear** · 2011-03-17 15:34

Ha, then I would think so Ksandra. We originally got it through an old roommate who wanted it for the last season of Sopranos. Since then there has just been too many greate HBO shows on to get rid of it. Though it is hard not having Showtime as well... some great shit there too. As for HBO though, love the True Blood, Boardwalk Empire, The Pacific was great, Bored to Death, Entourage, Eastbound and Down, The Ricky Gervais Show and looking forward even to The Mildred Pierce miniseries... yeah i know.

And now, at the top of this list in GIANT BOLD LETTERS is Game of Thrones.

Can`t have enough of Tyrion and Arya videos

Those were my favorite characters in the books, along with the Hound. Hopefully this show rolls around well, it looks interesting, but I've lost my faith in book-to-movie ideas.

**Rhae** · 2011-03-18 07:51

^
Those are my favs too along with the Hound, Jaqen and Bronn being close. To be honest, I'm more hyped about possible Season 2 where we get to meet Jaqen (with Rorge&Biter sidekicks), Bloody Mummers, more Bronn, way more Arry and Weasel, Tyrion being even more awesome, delicious conversation Theon had with certain Esgred and more development in dothrakiland.
