    Looks decent as a still, hope it looks as good when it's moving on screen.

    Well it can only be an improvement over not seeing the direwolves at all. That was the one bad side of season 1 for me.

    I only just got into this last week as so many friends were talking about it. I just shrugged it off as a crap americanised "camelot" type series. How wrong I was! The first few episodes are tedious and many of the stories are predictable but from about episode 5 onwards this is one of the best shows I've watched on television. Superb stuff, can't believe it left us on a cliffhanger!

    Series two - my body is ready.

    Has no impact on me thanks to the reading the stupid books recently :D

    Knowing that "massive spoilers"
    nearly everyone in that trailer is dead
    kind of takes the fizz out of it. This is definitely a rare case where it's better to have seen the show 1st :(

    Trailer seems to be focused on the later half of book 2 aswell.

    They seem to be overtly sexing up the relationship between
    Stanis and Melisandre
    in the show too :confused: if i'm assuming correctly that's who that red head in the trailer is

    I took from the book that part of the reason Stannis was so "into " the whole Melisandre cult thing was because she was a bit of a hottie and he fancied her, and she definitely used her sexuality to lure men to doher bidding

    Here's some videos that have popped up over the last few days. The Character featurettes are focused on Season 2 so watch at your own risk (no real spoilers but they do show new characters and whatnot)

    Weapons

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdjNlgV1UHE


    Joffrey

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjA4vDBdpcs


    Jon Snow

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXNTZuhDkU8


    Renly Baratheon

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3dCc6xUS8c


    Daenerys

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcEVzcHgDoc


    The Renly one has me intrigued.
    Margaery is a bit of a mystery in the books as you never get her POV but her TV character looks like she's going to be very interesting.

    Another teaser. Mostly re-used footage but a few new bits and some new dialogue added. The kid playing Bran is growing up fast!

    2 weeks to go!

    Natalie Dormer as Margery Tyrell. Could be good.

    Below spoiler relates to A Feast for Crows:
    How is this going to work later on with her marraige to Tommen, who hasn't even been cast yet? Will they have a child actor playing a ten year old marrying a woman who, young as she looks, is going to be mid thirties when the get around to this part of the story? A bit bevery hills 90210 all over again

    I really have no idea... Likely, they might change the actress at some stage.

    Tommen has been cast since Seaon One. Whether they use the same actor or not i don't know. But in 2/3 seasons time he will be old enough. I think it will work as well as it did in the books, especially as the story progresses into ADWDs. It's her marriage before her marriage to Tommen that i am looking forward to.

    If you haven't read from book 3 to book 5 please don't read the above spolilers!

    Finished 'A Clash of Kings' the other night so chomping at the bit for this to get started now. Mostly looking forward to Tyrion, Jons and Renlys arcs.
    Renly was probably one of my favourite characters in the books, much better than he comes across in the tv series anyway so hoping he gets a bit more screen time in the second series before he gets shadowed.

    Renly
    was hardly given any time in the books at all from my recollection , more mentioned in passing than anything

    Aria and Jon interested me the most in that one, though Tyrions arc pays off at the end big time.

    He didn't have a huge part in it alright, but just thought he was a good character who I was hoping might survive a bit longer than he did.

    Have been sick the last few days and spent all day yesterday in bed watching all the Season 2 preview stuff on Youtube and reading theories over on asoiaf.westeros.org (avoid if you've not read the books, very spoiler heavy!).

    Way too excited at this point!
