Game of Thrones!
I don't know if any of you have read A GAME OF THRONES, by George R. R. Martin (whose Rs, unlike J.R.R. Tolkien, I always drop because dude, seriously?), but if you have, you probably know about both the new book (WHEE!) and the HBO series. Well, you probably know about the TV show anyway, because it's been very highly promoted. (Yet another reason why people who blatantly state they don't like any science fiction or fantasy are idiots and/or liars.) BUT: have you seen this?
It's an extended preview of this first episode - the first 15ish minutes - and it just aired on HBO tonight, so this is, like, brand new. It's pretty fantastic. Of course, the first half of it is the part of the book that scared me so much I almost didn't read further, and it's TERRIFYING, holy crap. And then there's Sean Bean as Ned Stark and I'm in love with him, and I like Jon Snow a lot better than I thought I would. (Also: oh dear Bran.) I'm super excited for this series. Only 2 more weeks!
PS: I got rid of my Winter Is Coming icon quite a while ago, boo. And it wouldn't serve double duty (as I need all my icons to do, since I only get 15) now, since actually SUMMER is coming. But "Daughter of Kings" works excellently, especially since Sean Bean is in this movie, too. :P
