HBO's Game of Thrones

[greygoose]

Just a tidbit to hold some of you over...

It appears a fan favorite from LOST will be joining GOT

Lost

Addressing a looming shortage of inscrutable giants, Game Of Thrones has recruited Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, an actor who’s appeared on Oz and in Thor: The Dark World, yet will forever be referred to as “Mr. Eko”—both because that’s who he played on Lost, and because, frankly, it’s way easier to pronounce and remember. As to who or what he’ll be playing, that isn’t clear yet: According to The Hollywood Reporter, his role will be “Malko,” a character who doesn’t even appear in the books. This will also address Game Of Thrones’ glaring shortage of characters.

And now, as we pass another fine Friday afternoon pondering this mysterious addition to a show that won’t return for another six months, rather than working, socializing, or advancing our lives in any significant way, we have to ask ourselves, could the addition of Lost’s Mr. Eko to a season that will also incorporate flashbacks really be mere coincidence? In a word, yes

Good news, good actor.

I'm sure he'll be killed off in some gruesome way before Season 5 ends.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

Maybe the red lady can conjure up a smoke monster and take him out.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

No Season 5 premiere date yet, huh?

 

[Invictus Sol]

It's still at least 3 and half months away. Sooo long...

 

[Kibagami]

There's a viral site. Three eyed crow or something. Sign up to get details before the season starts.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

At least there are TWD and BCS to tide us over.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I need to finish the 4th book..

Are you talking about football or is that some other show that I'm not aware of?

I need to finish the 4th book..

I'm still trying to finish the first book.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I'm still trying to finish the first book.

The 3rd book is huge

 

[Milo]

The 3rd book is huge

...and also the best of the series.

 

[GasparZizou]

Just finished book 2, and so far I don't think anything significant is lost from book to TV translation, as some of the usual book hipsters love to claim.

I enjoy both equally.

 

[Invictus Sol]

I'm on book 5 and would agree. If anything, the TV series came out better than I would've expected from reading (especially in regards to casting). The series is also so abridged compared to the books, that it's almost a bit of an alternate story. They complement each other, I think, so I don't care about getting ahead of the series at all.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

A little less than four months from now, GoT returns. A little musical number, to pass the time.

This Teaser was meant to run on cell phones and one time only, but someone managed to find a way to put it on youtube, so it may not be here for long.

 

[evenflow]

Nice to see something. Wish the next book would come out.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Ugh, such a slave to this show. That was almost less than nothing, but enjoyable.

 

[rushmore223]

Would you pay to see Game of Thrones in the theater?

Forget the question, I know the answer.

It appears HBO is releasing the last two episodes of Season 4 in Imax theaters for one week. Jan 23 to 29.
