Link here

Was reading the 2nd book earlier and after reading a certain part my jaw just dropped to the floor. I can't believe that happened.

I finished the 2nd book. It's going to be awesome when translated, I couldn't believe some of the stuff I was reading, and I know it will make for some gripping and HOLY SHIT moments in the show. I wonder how much of it will be kept. But as it stands, I'm more interested to see the casting choices. Particularly for *SLIGHT CHARACTER REVEAL SPOILERS* Stannis, Leisandre, Asha, Davos and Brienne..

Oho I'm already excited to see certain events unfold on the screen. The remaining books are on their way, only need to wait until tomorrow at the earliest to get them!

The role of Brienne in Season 2 has been cast and will be played by British actress Gwendoline Christie

Looking forward to it, Brienne is a great character. And with the actress at 6'3" (!!) she can certainly be an imposing figure.

Liam Cunningham has been cast as Davos Seaworth

All I see lately from hardcore fans is just constant bitching and begging at the producers to *BOOK 2 SPOILERS* make the Battle of Blackwater as epic as it is in the books. Can these people just realise that it is still a TV show, with a TV budget? I've total faith that they'll make it as epic as it can be.

There will be a GoT panel at Comic-Con tomorrow so look out for that. It'll be moderated by George R.R. Martin himself and the panel will consist of:

Quote
...the two men who turned it into a TV series, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, as well as stars Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryan), Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo), Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) and Kit Harington (Jon Snow).

And then S2 filming begins in earnest next Mon in N.Ireland. I'll have my own little birds whispering to me like Varys.

I just started watching the show yesterday and I'm already hooked! I'm up to episode 4 now and I REALLY have to force myself away from the PC to do other things or else I would watch the whole season in one go  XD
I've heard of the books before but was never interested in reading them, now I really want to.

<shirenu> lol brow action

Emilia Clarke (Daenerys) is giving Arya a run for her money in the eyebrow raising action



I looked at the dragons.....eventually. :P

Jason Momoa (Drogo) pretty much stole the Comic Con panel.



And Emilia (see a pattern here?) pretty much stole everyone's heart when she..well, watch and see:

In more casting news, Ben Crompton has been cast as Dolorous Edd, Tom Wlaschiha as Jaqen H’ghar, Gemma Whelan as Yara Greyjoy (in the books as Asha) and Michael McElhatton is cast as Roose Bolton. New names to everyone I'm sure, but if we're going for looks alone I think Michael McElhatton looks perfect as Bolton. Really looking forward to seeing Jaqen portrayed as well.

Winter is coming ... this spring. HBO has announced 'Game of Thrones' Season 2 will premiere in April 2012. Can you hold out six more months?

No specific premiere date has been announced.

Production of Season 2 has had some weather-related problems. In early September, five people were injured by high winds on the Northern Ireland set. Meanwhile, the cast has been growing as more book characters prepare to make their appearance in the TV show.

The first season of the hit HBO series was honored with 13 Emmy nominations. Peter Dinklage took home the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series and the show won for Main Title Design.

I can't wait no more! Also they've confirmed the casting of another character...*SPOILERS*

Ygritte. Looks like they're moving some stuff from Book 3 into this season if that's the case. Though I wonder when they're gonna announce the Reeds.
