Poll: Winter Is Coming - HBO's A Game of Thrones [READ WARNING]

[Silent-Lucidity]

Is it true that Gerard Butler has been cast as Stannis Baratheon?

That's one rumour, another is Christopher Eccleston.

IMDB have Stannis listed as Butler. Don't know how accurate that is.

Please no, this is not Sparta, this program has a story

 

[Squark]

Mark Strong would be better

Well, after much pestering from housemates I finally watched this, and holy hell it's amazing. Easily filled the gaping hole left by Lost, I just wish it was longer!

I can't wait for season 2 - any rumours for a release date?

He can actually act and I think would fit in a Fantasy setting quite well. Sean Bean is still king of period pieces and Fantasy acting tho He just LOOKS like he stepped out of the dark ages.

 

[Squark]

I can't think of anyone who would have been better suited to playing Eddard than Sean Bean

I completely agree, he was wonderful in the role.

But the 3rd book is immense regardless...my god do things get really ****ed up in the 3rd book....i dont know how the author is going to finish it but im looking forward to seeing how it all ends.

Love this show, but it really annoys me the lack of advertising it gets over here.

I don't have sky so didn't realise it had even aired here yet, and no one I know seems to have heard of it. Wish it was on BBC or something

 

[HarryPainful]

Lack of advertising?!

It was all over Sky a few months back, probably every advert break on Sky Atlantic for weeks!

 

[Robbo]

I've watched all of this, and I loved it. I can't wait for the second season, superb stuff.

It probably could have been on BBC if only the BBC would stop spending all their budget on celebrity pensioners dancing on ice ball rooms and Mr Darcy Elizabethan falls off his horse and into love with Lady Soppydress in the 19th century dramas

Well Sky bought the UK rights to *all* HBO shows so the BBC would have had to stump up megabucks for more than just GoT. Probably would have been worth it though I think the BBC were actually involved in the production of GoT too - providing casting services I think (note how many players in it are British).

Nice I'm off work tomorrow and if it's sunny all day like today I can see a few hours and 500 or so pages passing the day away ...
