    Oi. That's the Khaleesi you're ogling. Show some respect. ;)

    Of course, IIRC, she's only 14 in the books. I'm guessing some of the kids will be made that much older due to the hanky panky the ones in question get up to
    For example - Dany and Drogo's wedding night
    . Whilst HBO doesn't shy away from fairly graphic scenes of rumpy pumpy, I can't see them signing up for showing it with minors.

    I'm pretty sure the broadcasting authorities would have a dim view of it as well.

    Never heard of it. But if it's HBO it's good. There are rules about such things.

    Oh and read this on wiki

    “The Sopranos in Middle-earth”

    That's my kind of concept.

    Winter is Coming had a 15min sneak peak, and has details about it here. Needless to say, they where impressed by what they got to see:

    Air date announced as April 17th stateside. I'm hopping we'll get it around the same time on the new Sky Atlantic channel

    The preview on the HBO site is the same as the two YouTube vids, BTW. The GeekDad article is spot on the money though.

    And in related news - A Dance of Dragons is finally being published!

    Is what I get from the link.

    But, I just started reading the first book last weekend - pretty excited about this show now. The book is pretty awesome so far :D.

    Found this on the SFX website. Not watched yet as youtube gets blocked at work, but acording to them it's worth watching if you haven't read the books, as it gives an introduction to who’s who and what’s what in the land of Westeros & lands across the sea:



    Speaking of which, here's a fab map of Westeros:

    I started reading the books but never got that far with them. Hopefully it will be a good adaptation of the story for those that are interested in the books. As for me, I've forgotten what I've read in the first book so I won't be picky like some readers of the books might be, and from what is posted HERE it might not be all good news for fans of the books, but this looks like nit picky things so the majority should be fine.

    It's about time an epic fantasy story was given the HBO treatment. Hopefully the ratings are good and it sticks around for a few series. Looking forward to it though, and although I don't have Sky I will get my "friend" to record it for me :)
