It's pretty incredible how different the actual voices of some of the actors and actresses are. Tyrion, Lysa, Drogo, they did an excellent job on their accents.
you compare this show to ANY tv show and it blows it out of the water on EVERY level. best show ever. You can't even think of a show that will come up in the next 10 years that will be worth comparing to G.O.T.
I'm pleased that though CGI is used to touch scenes up in this show, it's definitely not the reason the sets are amazing. That head art dept. lady is a genius. Even when the show became slow and political, the sets were splendid eye candy.
@OtherSideOfSanity you can climb over the wall, you can go around it by the sea, or there are also small passageways you could get through. the wall is meant to stop an army, 9-10 people getting through isn't a big deal.
I found this world they created so engaging. I ended up becoming a huge fan of the series and am currently near the end of the first book :) I am looking for future seasons ^^,
i work summers in Malta as a tourist guide, i just watch the scenes, trying to figure out where they were filmed, great series. i just hope it doesn't and after a couple of seasons, like other hbo series, that would be disappointing...
This video on the other hand is the usual American PR bullshit that makes people throw up all over the world. Good thing the people who made this video didn't make the quite magical show.
Who knew if you found source material that is rich and deep, and gave smart people the chance to translate that to television, it would actually work? And all this time they've been giving stupid people with no talent shows in hopes that it somehow might be good. Why is there always so much shock about something being good when everything is done well by talented people who know what they are doing? What's shocking is if untalented people ever do anything well.
I knew nothing of this series when I first started watching it, and I wasn't sure if i'd like it when i started the first episode, but now i love it. Great series.
This show is Great! That's for sure... but it is a complete different genre from my other favorite TrueBlood. And True Blood wins out with me mainly because of Eric Northman/Alex Skarsgard! Khal Drogo is incredible, But the Viking God of Sexy still does it for me! LOL They are both just really wonderful story lines... and I'm glad for the difference! Thanks, HBO, you've done it again!
5 episodes in and I consider this show to be better than everything else HBO does. I'm a huge Sopranos, Six Feet Under, True Blood and Boardwalk Empire fan but the first few episodes of those shows didn't grab me as strongly as Game Of Thrones did. I hope this show stays on and every book in the series get adapted into the show.
I completely agree with you. And I hadn't ever heard of the books prior to the start of the tv series. Now I'm almost done with book 1 and have already acquired book 2. I recommend people to read the books as well!
4 episodes later- and I am blown away with how good it really is!
Love the Stark kids (and Jon Snow, of course)- love the warm family tie-ins, the intricate fantasy plot that somehow feels so very real, the cool foreshadowing and way things are woven - (i.e.- wolf pups saved from death who later each save their child masters and mistresses), and well, I could go on and on. Can't wait for more! :)
Thank gods there is Arya, so I can use her as a moral compass. Anyone who's nice to her is good, and anyone who's not is evil. It is my lighthouse in a sea of moral complexity.
Now I have other concern though. If seasons do not have fixed length, then what is the meaning of term "year"? It would make sense to estimate everything in moons or something.
This show is GREAT. Ive seen the first two episodes and its amazing. Im so happy now because i wanted another epic tv series. When i finished seeing The Tudors and Rome i was very sad. I wanted another season of Rome. Damn vampires. (I dont say everything is bad, but things like Vampires Diaries?? Come on! Rome's fans alos have their right to have a third season. Love Game of Thrones!
This IS the best fantasy series to yet grace our tv screens. It is dark, epic, sexy, and FUN to watch. Only premium cable channels can offer entertainment of this quality(and graphic imagery!). Trueblood, Rome, Spartacus, The Walking Dead, & now Camelot and GAME OF THRONES! Time for every fan of this type of entertainment to get cable and a DVR, OR buy these series on blu ray, OR go to a site like icefilms and DL all these ep's!
I haven´t seen it yet, because I don´t have HBO, but I´ll try. And I think, that much more better would be fantasy series from Steven Erikson, The Malazan Book of the Fallen, which contains entirely 10 books. This is really huge epic, but still really close to viewers and with excellent characters. In addition, there is the world maybe more specific and original - creatures, nations, continents, etc. It´s probably unmakeable project, but HBO has opportunity to make GoT, so they could do MBotF.
@SledujCZ I am also a great fan of Malazan, but I do not think that it could be adopted to a TV series as "easily" as Song of Ice and Fire. malazan is just much more epic, with great magic and terrible powers, it would need a LOT of really GOOD special effects to make it even come close to the books.
Wow just fucking wow. I just watched the first episode, I dont usually come back here and write this kind of stuff but holy shit, finally a god dam series where they dont hold back on ANYTHING. In first ep there was Sex (not to the conclusion of oh hehe a boob - To the mature sense) some really cool dramatic scenes which was filmed IMO perfectly, And finally and foremost, The BLOOD. The blood used in this i would think is prop blood, None of this animation shit.
I really wish that I had HBO! I'm very please with pretty much all of the casting and the places that they chose. This is going to be so EPIC! I can't wait to finish the books now (currently on 3)
George RR Martin needs to complete the rest of the books before he dies like Robert Jordan did with out ever completing the Wheel of Time Series! Hopefully this pushes him to finish the books.
I get more excited for this show every time I see a new preview/behind-the-scenes feature! Something I did notice in this video, though: they've credited Jack Gleeson as 'Joffrey Lannister'. Bit of a giveaway, that, isn't it?
@kevmartin79 i have to agree with freakinmayhem there, book 3 (storm) is by far the best of the bunch. although every one of the books absolutely rocks, even it has to be said book 4 (feast), which i agree is certainly slower than the previous ones, but it still truly awesome, i firmly believe that when book 5 'dance' comes out it will compliment 4 very well. i enjoyed 4 much more the second & third times i read it. anyway, i can not wait for this series to start, i only pray we make it past s1
Jon Snow, Robb and his sisters, his mother, the wolves all are major. Some live some die. I've read (4) of the novels, patiently waiting for #5 for about 3 years.
I've already succeeded in getting 5 people to start reading this series that never have in the last month. =) If this show doesn't destroy ratings I will have lost any remaining trust I have in humanity =P
@TheSkiingGuru Why do you have to hysterically attack something to validate your appreciation of this series? GoT isn't even competing with True Blood in any way. Apples and oranges. Are you that insecure about your own ability to discern what entertains you? Have the balls to be proud of what you like without resorting to infantile insults. Some people will like/dislike True Blood and some people will like/dislike GoT, get over it.
@justinski It's not a "hysterical attack." The comment was meant to be half joking as well, I'm honestly sorry if you thought it was an attack my man. And yes GOT will compete with True Blood. True Blood is basically a fantasy show that isn't called such because it takes place in the "real" world. It's also arguably HBO's most popular show atm. Game of Thrones cost around 50 mil to produce! It has as LOT to live up to, and I do believe it will be better (quality wise) then True Blood.
@TheSkiingGuru This has nothing to do with True Blood...I love GOT and all the books but I like True Blood as well. They're completely different shows...
i think its awesome...... yes there are gonna be a lot of differences from the book ..... but someone name me 1 book-to-film that's word for word or is not missing some plot lines ....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Obviously I like the books and I'll be following the series closely. But the costume designer must never work again, she has ruined enough of the visuals of the series by making the kings guard and lannister designs look like utter crap.
i hope this will be successful but the audience for this kinda show aint that big and the costs of making this show will be huge I hope this wont be cancelled after one or two seasons like Rome or Carnivale but then again I thought the same thing about True Blood and look how that took off...
Of course there would be adaptations! That is normal. But Cersei and Jamie have a very interesting relationship ( not to give any spoilers), so I think that giving Jamie and Cersei a similar hair would improve the feel of that.
It is similar to main Dothraki ( such a long wait that I forgot his name) having bells in his hair so you know he is coming. It means he is not a coward, does not sneak up on people even though he is kind of a " savage". Bells give him honour - that's the feel from the
@walksofar Careful, you'll be accused of being a nerd who wants word for word if you express any negative reaction to anything. The people commenting seem to think HBO is Lannister in the privy.
@walksofar Cersei never loved Robert, but she did "feel almost happy" (using her own words) when she married him. It was later, when he called her "Lyanna" while he was making love to her that she started hating him. I guess I would (and every woman would) feel just the same. Just saying :D
I hear ya, I really questioned that as well. Did you watch the show? Cersei is one of the only ones I was uncertain of (so far) and for exactly that reason. She needs to bitch it up a bit. And soon.
rather than dwell on the things they have wrong let us rejoice in the things they have exactly right.... The iron throne, the hound's helm, the wall, the red keep, & the sky cells. Arya seems perfect as does Bran, Jon, Robb, Sansa, Ned, King Robert (black hair withstanding). Joff doesn't have the Lanister curls but he's got a punchable face so that's okay. to name a few. They are filming the unfilm-able, GRRM's original reason for writing the books was to get away from TV's restrictions

I've already succeeded in getting 5 people to start reading this series that never have in the last month. =) If this show doesn't destroy ratings I will have lost any remaining trust I have in humanity =P

This will OWN True Blood. HBO should not be afraid of this being fantasy. It's better than vampire trash.

@TheSkiingGuru Why do you have to hysterically attack something to validate your appreciation of this series? GoT isn't even competing with True Blood in any way. Apples and oranges. Are you that insecure about your own ability to discern what entertains you? Have the balls to be proud of what you like without resorting to infantile insults. Some people will like/dislike True Blood and some people will like/dislike GoT, get over it.

@justinski It's not a "hysterical attack." The comment was meant to be half joking as well, I'm honestly sorry if you thought it was an attack my man. And yes GOT will compete with True Blood. True Blood is basically a fantasy show that isn't called such because it takes place in the "real" world. It's also arguably HBO's most popular show atm. Game of Thrones cost around 50 mil to produce! It has as LOT to live up to, and I do believe it will be better (quality wise) then True Blood.

@TheSkiingGuru I agree that it's better but I've read and like both.

@TheSkiingGuru I agree. This will wipe vampire blood and glitter out of everyone's eyes and show them true entertainment.

@TheSkiingGuru This has nothing to do with True Blood...I love GOT and all the books but I like True Blood as well. They're completely different shows...

@jcpeterman That's just it, we're not looking for word-for word here, simply getting names and the story right.

Obviously I like the books and I'll be following the series closely. But the costume designer must never work again, she has ruined enough of the visuals of the series by making the kings guard and lannister designs look like utter crap.

i hope this will be successful but the audience for this kinda show aint that big and the costs of making this show will be huge I hope this wont be cancelled after one or two seasons like Rome or Carnivale but then again I thought the same thing about True Blood and look how that took off...

Of course there would be adaptations! That is normal. But Cersei and Jamie have a very interesting relationship ( not to give any spoilers), so I think that giving Jamie and Cersei a similar hair would improve the feel of that.
It is similar to main Dothraki ( such a long wait that I forgot his name) having bells in his hair so you know he is coming. It means he is not a coward, does not sneak up on people even though he is kind of a " savage". Bells give him honour - that's the feel from the

The actress playing Cersei is retarded, and probably never read any of the books. She does not love Robert, and never did.

I guess. But this won't really impact the series in any way. Will probably just make a few people rather confused.

@walksofar Careful, you'll be accused of being a nerd who wants word for word if you express any negative reaction to anything. The people commenting seem to think HBO is Lannister in the privy.

@walksofar Cersei never loved Robert, but she did "feel almost happy" (using her own words) when she married him. It was later, when he called her "Lyanna" while he was making love to her that she started hating him. I guess I would (and every woman would) feel just the same. Just saying :D

I hear ya, I really questioned that as well. Did you watch the show? Cersei is one of the only ones I was uncertain of (so far) and for exactly that reason. She needs to bitch it up a bit. And soon.

rather than dwell on the things they have wrong let us rejoice in the things they have exactly right.... The iron throne, the hound's helm, the wall, the red keep, & the sky cells. Arya seems perfect as does Bran, Jon, Robb, Sansa, Ned, King Robert (black hair withstanding). Joff doesn't have the Lanister curls but he's got a punchable face so that's okay. to name a few. They are filming the unfilm-able, GRRM's original reason for writing the books was to get away from TV's restrictions
