I really doubt we'll see (not sure what book this is in, 2nd or 3rd)
Tyrion riding his horse into battle
I just dont think it would work on television, participating in the battle fine, but maybe not so much first-hand badassery in combat given that his whole shtick is that he survives by his intellect not his might.
We will find out sooner rather than later
Book 1 spoilers
In the book, Tyrion participates in the battle at the green fork as part of Tywin's army. So we will see this season how willing they will be to show Tyrion mixing it up in battle.
There's been a few shots of him in the trailers hiding behind that shield.

I'm pretty sure that's when
Catelyn's prisoner party, which is escorting Tyrion to the Eyrie, is ambushed by mountain men. That's also where that shot of Bronn in battle comes from.
At the green fork, Tyrion has an unsullied helmet on, and that's what saves his life.
a horrible wound on his face? Like 1/2 his nose gone and shit? That's going to look gruesome on camera.
I've given that some thought.
My guess is that since making him up without most of a nose might be too elaborate to be practical and look good, they might downgrade his injury to a big gash going across his face.

Big difference between reading about an injury in a book and being all "dude got his face mutilated" vs seeing a dude with a mutilated face on camera for multiple episodes.

well they already have Sandor, it would probably be somewhat equivalent to that

alright, i'm definitely going to order HBO because then i can use HBO Go to also watch Band of Brothers, The Wire and Curb Your Enthusiasm without having to buy all the DVDs
hmm that's a thought. I pictured Mance as being a bit older though... although I haven't seen West in anything more recent than 300, he might have aged a bit.
edit: ooo ooooh, he could be one of the Kettleblacks! That way he can

CoK is only getting 10 episodes, and Martin himself is writing the one with the
Battle of Blackwater
Ehhhh that's a tight squeeze. If it gets renewed for a third season, they're going to have to either split SoS in two (I'm fine with that, it gives Martin more time to get ahead) or give it more episodes. Or else it will be really really rushed.

Especially Tyrion in the whorehouse, that bit was excellent. He really did have the best intro. I did like Arya's as well though. And I the direwolf pups. SO. CUTE.
Actually, considering how huge Storm (and, soon, Dance) are, it's not inconceivable that they would split these into two seasons each (well, 3 seasons putting Feast and Dance together, assuming they don't wanna do the jump back in time). If you add it up, that means that the first 5 books will have finished airing in 7 years. That should be more than enough time to at least put The Winds of Winter out, so the question becomes can GRRM write two books in 7 years. If he can do that, then there's no gap, no catching up, the series can go one season a year and have all the books ready by the time they get there.
The Red Wedding is too big a shock not to turn it into a season finale, which is part of why I'm almost certain Storm will be split into two seasons.
Just someone please tell me that Sean Bean doesn't die in something for once
Because I swear that's all he ever does
I actually nearly peed my pants laughing at this one. I really, really, REALLY wish I could be in the room when that particular episode airs.
I have rewatched it now.. Twice. I am developing quite the crush on Emilia Clarke. Seriously.. I keep telling myself, "The actress is legal, I think.... Yes.. LEGAL!!"

Enjoyed this first episode. It wasn't amazing, things felt rushed, but that's not surprising given the amount of characters they have to introduce and plots they have to set up. Really liked all the casting, especially the Stark kids. Jaime's accent was a bit odd but I can deal. Title sequence was awesome. Can't wait for the next episode, and hopefully all the future series, assuming HBO doesn't pull a Deadwood on us.

Nvm, you're clearly joking
He is joking
Edit: Probably even a reference to the whole bit in AFFC :rotate:

Make him one of the mercenaries that wants to bang Dany
I dunno how realistic that casting is though
Thier on demand service rules so hard

Oh
Ok
Well carry on then
It pleases me
LOL! Winter is coming :winky:
maybe I will have myself frozen until the series is finished and released
Davos or Oberyn would be my top picks for him, but people have suggested James Purefoy for Oberyn which would be even better, so Davos.
Alternatively, yeah, Mance.
I hope they go the anime route and write a bunch of filler arcs to give the author time to get ahead!
Actually, of course I don't hope that. It would be cool if the show chugging along made Martin at least prioritize finishing book 5. Before he dies.
Steel and Snow
Blood and Gold
You know book 5 comes out this summer right? This is from Maetin himself, July 12th is THE DAY
wow that's fucking fantastic news
