Charles Darwin sadly had to leave the production once the producers realised he'd been dead for a century. He was replaced by Charles Dance at short notice

damn this thing is looking better and better. the targaryen portions were always some of my favourite, and viserys and daenerys look spot on. can't wait for the 'crown of gold' scene! (if that is in fact in GoT. my memory is a bit muddled on this series, having read all four back to back)
There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.

It is in GoT, and it's also one of the scenes I'm most looking forward to.

So many videos your face will melt off.
My favourite one is Tyrion Lannister's. He utterly inhabits the role, nailing Tyrion's odd feeling of fellowship with Jon, his delight in needling Theon, his genuine love for Jaime, his hatred of Cersei and his need to prove his innocence to Catelyn and clear his name. But it's the final bit which is awesome: "Close the door!"
The Ned Stark one is also great, especially Aidan Gillen channelling Carcetti as Littlefinger: "The Crown is six million in debt!" I half-expected him to explain how he'd have to reduce the education budget in East Baltimore as a result
The Khal Drogo one is also amusing, if just for Jason Momoa's description of the character as "The top pimp." The Viserys one is also splendid, showing Harry Lloyd doing that crazy mental eye-work he first picked up on DOCTOR WHO in 'Human Nature'.

Now that is indeed a fuckton of videos.
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.

Even more, if you can believe it. Features on Jaime and Robb (which they mispell in the video captions as "Rob"), extended versions of the House features, some new photos and a promo poster with Jon and a very cool ref to the Night's Watch oath.
Both the Jaime and Robb features are great. Very excited to see what those two actors do with the roles. They had some pretty intelligent things to say about their characters. I especially enjoyed some of the new footage in the Robb video, particularly the scene where Tyrion gets a chilly reception from him in Winterfell on his way back from the Wall.

When I met a few of the castmembers, Richard Madden (who plays Robb) came across very well. He'd kind of naturally gravitated to being the leader of the younger castmembers and was fairly outgoing, charismatic and good-humoured. Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow, was friendly but also a bit more intensely focused on his character. They pretty much WERE Robb and Jon, and I think both are going to do very well out of the series.

I bought three shirts <that I plan on going to the bar with>..Lannister, Baratheon, win or die.
I was severely dissapointed with the House Stark shirt. IT should be a different color, direwolf, with WINTER IS COMING in huge letters.
Now when will these posters be available.

New trailer with new scenes.
I especially like the juxtaposition of the two lines about being a 'child' and then the "you're not supposed to be here" scene

Is anyone else getting bored by the constant stream of teaser trailers that are just a tiny bit different from the last one?

Kind of in the same way that I got "bored" staring at the cover of the Crippled God on my computer once (or twice... or thrice...) a day for months leading up to the release. Not exactly bored, just jonesing for more.

Not really. Maybe how I'd get bored of the same boobs in different bra's....hell, they are still breasts.

And they're certainly not shy of showing boobage, or differing kinds of scant covering for boobage.

So this is shaping up to be another HBO classic - tons of boobs, violence and general brilliance? Can't wait.
