HBO's Game of Thrones Season 1

[lighty]

My goodness, the fur is flying on the Winter-is-Coming blog after this comment:

I should probably elaborate since I’m sure I’ll be attacked, but HBO just wasn’t as positive as they thought they would be. That doesn’t mean it won’t receive the light, but the show is so expensive that it just doesn’t bode well. I am told that Sean Bean is terrific, though.

Of course Sean was terrific, though!  

If I had to guess, I'd say that the pilot is too many words and not enough 'action' to satisfy the HBO execs.  They'll add more sex and some heated pushing and shoving scenes and fix it, I'm sure.

The comments on the blog are a hoot - "he's a TROLL"!  As if somehow, someone cares enough to want to break the collective hearts of the fans.  Good grief.  These folks need to put away their GoT playing cards and get a life.

And here we thought we were obsessed.

At least our obsession is real, not fictional . . .

Over on Winter is Coming  still rumours but  nice to read

 The acting terrific, Bean only has to give a look, it speaks a thousand words.

 Both reports also seem to agree that Sean Bean is on fire acting-wise in the pilot, which is at least encouraging

... but no, Bean's look does not say a thousand words. It's his performance in the crypts, his look at long deceased sister... well, I shan't say more.

Seems like they are really expecting this to be green-lit (lighted?) . . .

Who has posted over there?  We could mention that Sean is growing his beard again and really get them stirred up (not mentioning that he usually is growing some scruff between his bi-annual clean shaves . . .)

LoL, lighty.  

I'm a registered member, but I lurk.

Sable has posted there.

Oops sorry.  You're talking about the Blog, not the forums.  They are speculating like mad on the Forums as well.

I made a post on the WiC blog and its linked to my Facebook page.

Clicking this link gave me a viruswarning. Don't know if it's dangerous. Norton caught it here.

Second try no problem and Sable has no problem either, so it maybe Norton's throwing a hissy fit.

I am so happy for Sean and even happier for myself. I am really looking forward to this.

Good news - now if they'll just post a production still of Sean as Eddard, Sable can replace the Zeus pic (which is very nice, but very stern and makes me feel like I've been called up to the head's office to explain why I smacked the end of the teeter-totter onto that mean boy's head . . .

Now, now,    Be patient, Lighty, we'll soon have a Ca$h banner up as we countdown to the Ca$h US premiere.

And Parris, GRRM's Sig other, says that they will have some production stills available soon.

me too but i'm afraid i didn't  give it a second try!

[Blue Jay]

Well, Sable didn't have a problem so I ventured again and the second time nothing happened.

  WONDERFUL NEWS!!!!!!!!! I CAN HARDLY WAIT!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE this series of books!  Sean will be a perfect Ned Stark.  I just wish Ned was around a bit longer.  Maybe HBO picking up the series will light a fire under the ass of George RR Martin to get the next book out already!!
