I'll be checking this one out!!A decidedly more violent (or at least, execution-ry) teaser for HBO’s upcoming “Game of Thrones” TV series, starring Sean Bean as a sword-swinging badass stuck in a kingdom full of bad people and questionable gals, one of whom is Lena Headey, who can be do questionable things to me any day. The third teaser is also sexier, with some bare flesh thrown on the screen to remind you that this is HBO and, well, you’ll probably see a lot more than that when the show premieres in 2011 on HBO.
"Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. Political and sexual intrigue abound. The primary families are the Stark, Lannister, and Baratheon families. Robert Baratheon, King of Westeros, asks his old friend Eddard Stark to serve as his chief advisor. Eddard, suspecting that his predecessor had been murdered, accepts so that he can investigate further. It turns out more than one family is plotting to take the throne. The Queen’s family, the Lannisters, may be hatching an incestuous plot to take control. Across the sea, the last surviving members of the previously deposed ruling family, the Targaryens, are also plotting a return to power. The conflict between these families and others, including the Greyjoys, the Tullys, the Arryns, and the Tyrells, leads to war. Meanwhile, in the north, an ancient evil awakens. Amidst war and the political confusion, a brotherhood of misfits, The Night’s Watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and the horrors beyond."
Starring Harry Lloyd, Mark Addy, Alfie Allen, Sean Bean, Ciaran Bermingham, Emilia Clarke, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Peter Dinklage, Roy Dotrice, Michelle Fairley, Jack Gleeson, Iain Glen, Kit Harington, Lena Headey, Finn Jones, Richard Madde, Rory McCann, Jason Momoa.

OH FUCKING HELL YEAH!!!!!
This is going to be one of the best things EVER. I've read the first two books and they're excellent. The show looks mega HYPE.

Well, if you've never read the books, you'll have to watch the show and find out then.

Re: Game of Thrones [TV HBO]
Yeah, the first book just smashes you over the head with a million characters all at once. It is tough going.
Just plough on and try and focus on the Starks and the Lannisters. So worth the payoff.

I liked it not knowing anything about it but what's with all the brothers and sister rooting each other? Makes for some VERY awkward looks while watching with my sis.

Just because they are doing it on tv doesn't mean you and your sister need to.
If you needed that explained I am worried

Re: Game of Thrones [TV HBO]
I really liked it. Totally lived up to my expectations which were sky high. Probably exceeded them tbh.
So many scenes and characters were perfect, and exactly how I imagined they would be.
Little bit disappointed on a few points, but it would be just nit-picking.
I'm glad to see you guys liked it. I was worried it might be a little bit too slow for people not familiar with the books. That episode was a bit slow, but the books start slow too. Lots and lots of character build up. Huge, HUGE payoffs coming up if the show keeps up to that standard.

Re: Game of Thrones [TV HBO]
BEST TV SHOW EVER.
Ep2 absolutely NAILED so many key scenes.
If Caetlyn Stark doesn't win an Emmy, it's BULLSHIT.

Great to have another series to look forward to during the dry spell and since Breaking Bad has been delayed.
