This is impressive -- there are bold and sensible human beings out there, too -- thanks to Thomas the Metropolitan for the link.

And I have GoT, episode 1, on DVD, thanks to Falk the Metropolitan and his awesome format conversion skillz!

Now I go and sweep the floor, then buy the makings of a salad.-

What an amazing story. And what incredible parents!

Thanks for the link.

I cheated long ago and taped all of GoT so that I could rewatch it ad nauseum. :D

I have them as files, but wanted them in a format to play on my DVD player and TV so I can watch with the Nazgul.

It worked, but one hour of GoT takes two hours to convert, and Falk already ordered the DVDs which come out here early next year, so Falk begged off having to convert and burn more.

On the other hand, I just saw that it's March 30th. I don't think the Nazgul can wait that long. I'll have to ask Falk if I can do some more on his gear before that...

I am so ready for the second season!!!

How come season 1 was so short?

Yes, it was only ten episodes...

**sigh**

I guess it must be quite an undertaking to film each episode...

Yes. **sigh**

I follow GRRM on LJ and get sneak peeks -- can it be April now??

Me, too. The self-promoting gets a bit much but I love the sneak previews.

Ugh. It takes too long to shoot these things. :(

Yes -- but on the other hand, they need to be good!

[identity profile] idylchild.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. I worked on set and know how many times they have to shoot the same scene over and over and over again. 12-15 hours a day.

Oh yes, and they're likely to be doing everything well. Now, watching the series again after reading the book, I see all the details -- they even have a Jayne Poole, even though they never name her!

Did you see Arya's new haircut?

Yes! And the other teaser!

I'm dreading having everyone die. I barely made it through Ned's. :(

Well, watching that first episode, I see so many people that won't make it to the tenth.

Including poor Jayne Poole.

Rob *howling*

I cried just as hard when Lady died.

Oh did you see that the guy who plays Tyrion got nominated for all kinds of stuff?

Peter Dinklage. Of course -- he's bloody brilliant!
