HBO adaptation of Game of Thrones - will this be just for nerds? (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

omg yes @ this; driving me crazy.

would watch an entire season of Tyrion & Varys

the accents only really bugged me when like Renly and Stannis, brothers, have totally different regional accents

Next week's episode looks promising, at least!!

Written by Martin, directed by Neil Marshall of Dog Soldiers/The Descent. Should be a good 'un alright

The course, simply titled “A Game of Thrones,” will explore the differences and similarities between the first book in the series and the first season of the HBO series based on it. It will be offered through the Pennoni Honors College on Thursday afternoons from 2:00 to 4:50. It promises to be just as epic as the tale it focuses on.

omg I'm totally forwarding that to my father-in-law (he graduated from their engineering program)

"you just have to DIE for me to escape!" *executes cunning escape* *is still captured 5 minutes later*

celebrity judges on westeros got talent

Is that Tyrion mural real?!

no, photoshopped.

It'll be real soon.

Just finished a first listen to the soundtrack release for Season 2, and I'm glad to be able to say it's much better than the half-assed, cheapish sound design droney junk Djawadi provided for season 1. (I know, he was hired at the last minute so time constraints etc and yes he did come up with a damn catchy Main Title). This time there are some real signs of compositional life as he puts his main theme through a number of highly contrasting variations, and the instrumentation feels much less like something you'd hear over an early edition of Baldur's Gate. I still wish they hadn't hired someone from the Hans Zimmer stable though. Christian Henson would've been so awesome on this project based on what he did for Black Death. Anyway, season 2 CD is solidly worth hearing though nowhere near great.

I didn't even know they released soundtrack albums for this.

the theme song is the best

I can't tell if he rerecorded a more organic (less synthetic) version of the theme song for the S2 CD or if it just sounds better to me bcuz the subsequent tracks are better.

for those of you that don't frequent the blue oyster cult thread, BOC is currently using the game of thrones title theme as their "taking the stage" music

nearly as good as this:

Oh by the way, the CD includes 'Rains of Castermere' performed by popular indie recording artist The National. (but written by show composer Djawadi)

that was better for the 60 seconds i thought they were singing "funky game of thrones"

Serious LOLZ at that deal with it gif!

lol between the sing along and that pic of them goofin off upthread it seems like the kids are having a good time on set

wkiw arya

It plays on a constant loop in my head when I am reading the books.

well that's convinced me to never read the books

The National track is actually pretty nice.

Yeah I really, really wanted to hate it, but it was actually not bad.
