Geek alert: Game of Thrones on HBO
George R.R. Martin's first book in the Fire and Ice series, Game of Thrones, is scheduled as a mini-series for next Spring on HBO. I must admit, I'm a little apprehensive - hope they pull it off. I'd love to see all of the books on screen, if done well. Fantasy was of little interest for me , with very few exceptions, until these came along. Too bad George hasn't been able to finish the series.

Kinda weird that it's taking so long to come out with Dance With Dragons....
Really looking forward to the HBO Series.

HBO is really pounding this hard - they better come through with the goods; unreasonably high expectations.
Heck, even the WSJ has had several articles about it. Supposed to be two more books after Dance of Dragons - yeah right - it's only been 5+ years since Feast for Crows. Maybe George has been getting it all done, and will release everything once the HBO series finishes up? More likely that he's been too involved with HBO to be writing, I supposeLast edited by PB; 04-13-2011 at 02:19 PM.

On the other hand, George does look pretty chipper in all the preview, "making of..." stuff.

the nerd in me wants this show badly and even for non nerds a show which is basically similar to the sopranos or the wire could work if they get used to swords instead of guns
And the critics love it!It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.

I'm stoked for this. I stated reading A Game of Thrones after seeing the trailers for the show and I've been completely sucked in. Better then LOTR so far, which is one of my all time favorites. Where has this been all my life?
All I know is that I don't know nothin'... and that's fine.

Being the read geek that I am, after all the super hero gaga the last couple of years its good to see that Studios are looking into other directions to bring some freshies to TV.
STOKED!!!!

Haven't read the book/seen the show, but the New Yorker just wrote a pretty good piece on Martin/the Martin "write the book" hate:

One of my roommates was telling me about this, so I just watched the first and second episodes.... I think I'm gonna be hooked. Amazing landscapes and sets and everything, the whole show just seems to be on point.
My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.

This does seem very well done. Far better knights and swords drama than the Camelot series on HBO or Starz or whatever it is (although that one does have Eva Green getting her tits out every 10 minutes) don't know anything about the books but after skimming the New Yorker Article linked above is there a satisfactory cut off in the books to end a TV series or multiple seasons of a series?

wow! the actor who plays the dwarf is incredible. i was not fully invested until this second episode. the wolf scene with the boy and his mother was intense. i'm in!
