How is this pushing the envelope? Surely dragons and such in a medieval realm is inherently less fantastic than vampires in modern suburbia.

QuoteAfter drawing a broad audience and critical acclaim with vampires, HBO is now pushing the fantasy envelope even further.
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.

More costly.
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

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

Not really. Still in my age group.

Winter is coming :wub:
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Patrick Stewart is mentioned as one possible candidate for the role of Tywin Lannister. I think he would have been fucking perfect.

Why not? He's a proven Shakesperean actor, he can pull off the rhetorical badassery with little effort.

Have you seen him in the "Lion in Winter" or any of his Shakespearean roles?
