Game of Thrones Season 2 Trailer

This trailer actually premiered on Sunday, but for some reason I haven't been able to post it.  It's a short teaser that features a cool voice over from Stannis.

Arya's New Look

Maisie Williams who plays Arya in the HBO's adaption of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire is nothing short of awesome.  If you don't believe me watch this video where she discusses Arya's new look for season 2 of Game of Thrones.

I couldn't help but chuckle about how she not only reads what fans say online, but goes out of her way to prove them wrong.  That's the Arya spirit.  Playing Arya is one of the more difficult jobs on the show, in my estimation, but the casting people really struck gold with Maisie Williams. 

Now if only they could find a new Sansa...

Game of Thrones: Season 2 Sneak Peak

A great early look at season 2 with a chance to get a glimpse of some of the new characters including Margary Tyrell and Melisandre. 

Game of Thrones: Brienne of Tarth Cast

Writer George Martin announced recently that the part of Brienne of Tarth will be played by Gwendoline Christie.  Christie is a British actress of considerable size (6'3) which makes her a good fit for the Maid of Tarth.  According to Martin the casting of Christie was easy and he believes that she will thrive alongside the rest of the cast. 

A Game of Thrones Combat Recreated

If you are a fan of the hit television show Game of Thrones then you will like this. 

An online series called Fight Class goes through and recreates the fight scene explaining it as they go.  For their second episode they decided to do one of the best scenes from the first season of A Game of Thrones, Tyrion's trial by combat.

Check it out!

The Spider and Little Finger

Darksword has some new miniatures coming out in their A Song of Ice & Fire line.  The first is for Varys, also known the Spider, and the other is Lord Petyr Baelish, also known as Little Finger.  As usual the sculpts for these miniatures look amazing. 

For those new to the series and were introduced through the HBO show you may notice that there are substantial differences.  That is because these are sculpted based on the books and not the show, because of  the contract Dark Sword has to produce them.  Still, you will notice plenty of similarities.  They are based on the same characters after all.

Interactive Game of Thrones Map

There are several great maps depicting the lands from Game of Thrones.  Of the many versions Tear's map of Westeros is probably my favorite, but now there is a new version being used to help promote the show.  It is an interactive map that allows you to scroll around Westeros, click on the important locations, and get some info about them and who lives there.  The only downside (for those who can't read it) is that it is in spanish.  Still, it's pretty cool and you should definetly check it out. 

Game of Thrones Gets Second Season!

One Episode = One more season.

That's the kind of response HBO got with their new show, Game of Thrones.  It pulled in 4.2 million viewers and received rave reviews from critics and viewers alike. 

No word yet on the number of episodes for season 2.  Given that A Clash of Kings is longer than A Game of Thrones we could be looking at an episode or two more than the ten we got for season 1. 

For those of you who haven't seen Game of Thrones, take my advice and go watch it.  It lives up to the hype, it lives up to the source material, and is absolutely worth your time.
