Game of Thrones

[Blueferret]

Oooo; this and Walking Dead. I'm watching a lot of HBO soon...

I think Walking Dead is on AMC.

Uhm...I'm pretty certain they will. spoilers:

It's a critical plot element and it's not like the actors portraying them are related, nor that the actress playing Cersei is a stranger to nudity and/or sex scenes (see: 300).

end of spoilers

It better. The Lannister plot is crucial to the storyline.

There's supposed to be a preview for Game of Thrones 20 minutes before the season finale of True Blood tomorrow.

Is it 20 minutes long? I hope so. The 30 second preview earlier wasn't enough.

I don't know any details beyond the start time. There's no clarification if it's a trailer or a behind-the-scenes thing, though I imagine with 20 minutes to kill it might be the latter or maybe both. They're supposed to present a new promo image as well.

I will not be happy with any casting of Tyrion, i accepted that fact when i first heard about this.
And the only thing i have seen that guy in is an episode of nip tuck, and i hate that friggen show.

Not because of him, but still, Tyrion will make the show!!!

The only reservation I have about Peter Dinklage is that he's American, so odds are his attempt at an English accent will be horrible (if he makes any at all). Other than that, the guy's got some decent experience under his belt and should be fine.

I actually like Dinklage more after watching him in Nip/Tuck. I'm most looking forward to the actor's interactions with the Charles Dance (cast as Tywin Lannister) and Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister). Headey has stated in an interview that her and Dinklage had great chemistry in their scenes so far and looks forward to shooting more with him. Can't wait to see the head-butting between Dinklage and Dance. I'm getting the feeling any scenes between the Lannister family will steal the show.

Any updates on this? I didn't see anything.

Interesting. Everything I see about this project looks great!

This aired just before the season finale of Boardwalk Empire last night, I believe. A nice 10 minute peek into what's to come, I'm psyched.

That looks reassuringly faithful to the book.

Yeah. I was actually surprised at how bad his English accent is. Of all accents to immitate I have found it the easiest. But then again I'm an anglophile. I was also a bit startled by Dany's sudden authoritarian streak. I don't know at what point that clip of her takes place in the show, but I just found it a bit jarring. But I do remember it developing gradually in the book. That being said it's not a deal breaker for me. The preview wasn't bad. But the ultimate proof is in the pudding.
