Won't it be awful with all the kids? IMHO kids rarely make for good TV.

I've tried to read this book twice.  I just can't get into it.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Why?


Book is too small and I've gotten too fat.

Good one :lmfao:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I thought they were going to up the ages of the kids by a few years? :unsure:

The kids *are* a few years older than in books. The Sansa girl is 14 IIRC.

I've read somewhere that they are already filming it right now.  It is just the pilot after all.

No, the pilot finished filming a while ago and was screened, whereupon HBO greenlit the series to be made--one consisting of 9 episodes, it seems, though I've no idea if that includes the pilot or not.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Filming doesn't take overly-long.  Assuming that they're just doing 9 episodes, I don't see any huge hurdles to their current schedule of filming in June, then finishing editing and so forth over the months afterwards.  That gives them 9 months to get the show ready--easily doable.

They approved 9 episodes + the pilot for a total of 10 episodes.  Filming on the 9 episodes will begin in June.
