Sweet. Another favorite book series coming to TV. George R. R. Martin's Official Website under the news section has information. Love the casting,
Eddard Stark - Sean Bean (friggin Boromir from LotR) Lena Heady - Cersei Lannister (Sarah Conner from the Terminator TV show!)

Greatest Fantasy Ever Written. Period. The first three books of A Song of Ice and Fire are the ONLY books I have ever read that I literally could not put down... seriously; I was like Bastian in The Neverending Story when reading those books. As soon as I finished the first book I went out to the local bookstore and bought the other two and read them almost non-stop.
There are just so many amazing characters and the plot is almost unpredictable and the character arcs for some of the characters in the series are just plain amazing. And they don't change for change's sake either; the unusual, but realistic circumstances they find themselves in always account for the change so it is such a pleasure to see your favorite character evolve. My fav character is Sansa Stark... everybody likes Arya better... but I'm with Sansa until the end. For winter is coming... and when you play the Game of Thrones... you win... or you die. Kind of apprehensive about the whole tv thing though... the characters in my mind are locked in... I hope the tv series doesn't mess with that too badly. I am ashamed to admit I am sort of in love with Cersei Lannister. LOL. Yah, yah... I know... she's rash... and kind of stupid... but she's really, really, pretty. LOL. I don't see Lean Heady in that role at all... Spartan Queen... yes... Cersei Lannister... not so much. |

Yeah I can't wait for this series... thank god it's on HBO, anywhere else would probably cheap out, make it cheesy, or censor it to the bone.

I was waiting for Boardwalk Empire to start and I see this black and white almost 300-like promo of this sword and sorcery mini-series or something and I was thinking... "Hmmm... this looks cool." And then at the end they have the words "Winter is Coming!" I almost crapped my pants. LOL. Totally forgot this was coming out. LOL.

Novel series never really did much for me. I enjoyed the first book, but never felt the need to chase down book 2. To be fair I hardly read epic fantasy these days, but I read that book in my epic fantasy heyday. I am interested in the series.
