The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

The Left is retarded and should be ridiculed at every opportunity.
Since when?
I mean, obviously not always, since the modern right was the left not too long ago.

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 love it when other readers say stupid shit :

QuoteAs for Renly,I really do not get all these gay jibes as there is nothing to prove that he was attracted to guys in the first place I think if GRRM meant for Renly to be gay he would have described him as such in no uncertain terms.
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.

Shouldn't there be a palace and cathedral dominating the other buildings? That town looks like suburbs with Mediterranean decor.  :P

Easy enough to CG in, the walls look a bit...19th century though.

There's a very interesting interview at "Winter is Coming" with the people from the FX company that worked on the first season (link here: http://www.westeros.org/GoT/Features/Entry/Interview_with_VFX_Producer_Lucy_Ainsworth-Taylor/). Apparently they won't be coming for the second season because the technical needs will be overwhelming for them, citing specifically CG fur, fire and water.

QuoteQ: Will BlueBolt be the lead VFX vendor in the second season? If so, has any preparatory work already started given that cameras are due to roll in late July?

A: Sadly not.  As BlueBolt is a small new VFX house, tackling CG creatures with fur, plus CG fire and water would be too much of a stretch. Although we have all done this many times as individuals at previous companies, BlueBolt's pipeline and development would struggle to do this in the short amount of time needed for the second series.

So, grown up direwolves and big-ass battles are to be expected, I guess.  :mmm:

The pics on the interview reproducing the scenes with and without FX are also quite cool:
