The guy who is playing Tywin looks just like I imagined him. Good call!

I really hope they keep the dragons out of the first season, so as to avoid the stigma that follows dragons as juvenile fantasy monsters. but The first book had next to no magic, so at the very least they can not ruin the series with lame special effects. like those damn terrible effects that ruined the legend of the seeker...wait. that show was just terrible all over, not just the effects. i am sullied from watching that drivel. There is NO way that the HBO make will be anything near as bad as the Goodkind disaster (though the books set a bad example to begin with).

Seeing how dragons appear only at the end of the 1st book I have little doubt that they'll appear only by the last episode and after that Dany has considerably less screen time.

Those pics are amazing! Everyone fits their roles so perfectly. Very close to what I imagined them to look like.

Love the shot of Jon and Bran and the one of Jon and Samwell at the Wall.

Nerdgasm.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Holy Crap. I only just realised Donald Sumpter is in this!! Would have preferred him as the Spider to Maester Luwin, but that's still the best piece of news I've had all day

Why, oh why is march so far away?

I mean, I looked forward to Stargate Universe before it came on. I looked forward to The Walking Dead (which is grade "a" awesome!) But this? I don't think I've ever looked forward to a series this much since I was waiting for Farscape season 4!

Screw you all, and have a nice day!

Shit I hate being nitpicky but why did they leave out Dany's Targ eyes? Its her heritage and I wouldev thought they would do it, but no her eyes looked blue in the trailer. Is no one else irked? I am so looking foward to seeing this though!

Apparently several colourings and colour-schemes from the books were screen-tested but abandoned for not working properly. The white Kingsguard armour didn't look good under a lot of lighting conditions (particularly natural outdoor light) so they changed it. The Targaryen silver hair, on the other hand, did work pretty well so they kept it. I haven't heard 100% for sure, but my guess would be that they tested the purple contact lenses and decided it didn't work or looked weird or was just too strange and distracting, so dropped it (it wouldn't surprise me to learn the same thing was behind Tyrion's mismatched eyes being abandoned as well).

10 full minutes of material, mostly behind-the-scenes but some new clips as well.

Particularly of interest will be footage of Jaime Lannister (including a conversation with Ned in Winterfell) and a conversation between Ned Stark and Littlefinger, not to mention Viserys Targaryen doing his deluded glory spiel and Benjen Stark telling his nephew Jon how life is on the Wall.

A stunt actor called Conan Stevens. Never heard of him before.

Yeah I would love a shot of the Others but I reckon they will make it more a threat and a suspense thing and maybe show what one actually looks like way into it...

Maybe this has been mentioned before and I'm being redundant, but is anyone else really annoyed by the fact that everytime they have Sean Bean's voice saying "Winter is coming" at the end of trailers, it's followed up by a completely uncharacteristic and out of place chuckle?
