Thanks for the thread - looks interesting!

IslandBeachBum · 03-12-2011, 03:47 AM

The books are wonderful, and I'm hoping the show will be just as amazing!

Five weeks from this Sunday we'll find out!

Nad · 03-12-2011, 11:22 AM

Thanks for getting this started

Looks like this might be a show that will make it to my schedule

IslandBeachBum · 03-13-2011, 03:16 AM

Five weeks from tonight!

I know the source material is amazing, I just hope the show lives up to the novels and the hype!

Nad · 03-13-2011, 07:50 AM

The trailer and the cast sure look very promising and it's produced by HBO, which usually means good to high quality shows.

Definitely going to check it out

Avatar · 03-13-2011, 11:02 AM

I haven't read the books, but the premise sounds interesting and there's a couple of good actors in there, so I'll definitely need to check it out.

Tomorrow's skies · 03-13-2011, 04:26 PM

I'll have to remember to check this out

Haven't read the books yet, but I may hold off even longer so I don't judge the show too harshly

Drunk On You · 03-13-2011, 06:22 PM

I haven't read the books either. But I think I might have to check the show out.

Andie · 03-13-2011, 11:05 PM

Thanks for starting the thread

I have the first book but didn't get a chance to read it yet.

IslandBeachBum · 03-14-2011, 06:13 AM

I updated the OP with the new Meet the Starks video and a link to the new Fire and Blood teaser trailer (I didn't embed because the main pic was NSFW).

TheAngel · 03-15-2011, 06:43 AM

I don't have HBO but I'm really looking forward to seeing this show at some point. I might not get to see it until it comes out on DVD but it really looks like it's going to be worth the wait. I enjoy the books so I'll be interested to see how it compares, especially since George R.R. Martin has had his hand in making the show.

IslandBeachBum · 03-15-2011, 07:11 AM

Updated the OP with Game of Thrones/ASOIAF-related websites.

Everything I've heard so far is about how well the show sticks to the main points of the books, and I'm excited to see how it all plays out!

I don't have HBO either, but I'm hoping HBO makes the episodes available on iTunes, because I have a giftcard that I can use to buy them if they do.

And it would be so much better than making us wait until the DVDs are released.

EDIT: Updated the OP with links to the videos for Houses Lannister and Baratheon! I will update with embedded vids when they appear on YouTube.

EDIT 2: Updated the OP with the embedded Lannister and Baratheon vids and the new Targaryen vid!

Andie · 03-17-2011, 06:50 AM

Thanks for the updates

IslandBeachBum · 03-17-2011, 09:51 AM

There's a whole slew of new videos between yesterday and today! Extended versions of Lannister and Targaryen House vids, and fourteen meet-the-character vids. Rather than link everything here, I'm adding the link to the fancast site with all the vids on it. (They only work in the US, but someone on the Winter-Is-Coming site has loaded them to YouTube.)

No problem! I'm thrilled HBO is giving us all this, and doing everything they can to make the series (and all the dozens of characters) more accessible to the viewers!
