HBO Is Winning the Game of Thrones
 |
?Entertainment Weekly has a slideshow of pics from HBO’s upcoming Game of Thrones series. Now, I know many of you are Game of Thrones fanatics, and are interested in these, but the real reason I’m posting this link is because the show looks gorgeous. Seriously, I was excited purely to see how HBO would make an epic fantasy series, and I am not disappointed. I’m sure hardcore fans will find something to nitpick, but I think your series is in very good hands.
FYI, I haven’t read the book yet. But I’ve ordered it and will have it read before the series starts so I know what the hell I’m talking about (to the extent that I ever know what the hell I’m talking about). Thanks to Kristen for the tip.
