Game of Thrones

Post by Raikir » Sun Apr 10, 2011 3:59 am

HBO has released a 13-minute preview of their new miniseries "The Game of Thrones", based on book 1 of the "Song of Ice and Fire" by George R. R. Martin. If you haven't already, I highly recommend reading all of the books of the series (4 so far). It is, by far, the best fantasy epic I have ever read, and I have read quite a few. It is more mature than the "Wheel of Time" with a heavier-emphasis on politics (hence the name). I warn you though, don't get too attached to the characters.

The preview seems to portray the events of the first chapter, and I must say it is looking promising.

Never even heard of this until I saw the trailer on HBO a few months back. Looks cool, and I am liking The Borgias on Showtime.

****SPOILER ALERT*****
















Any theories on how HBO is going to handle the whole... um... incest, and boning of 15 year old girls by grown men debacles?

Stock, file footage of Jeezbus's basement that was found when his place on Tat was destroyed...
