HBO’s second season of Game of Thrones is based on the second book in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series—and maybe I’m remembering it wrong, but I recall that second book feeling like a bit of water-treading compared to the all-around awesomeness of the first book and the jaw-dropping holyfuckingshitwhattheFUCK-ness that goes down in the third book. But no, I have to be remembering wrong, because this preview for Game of Thrones‘ second season looks just… yes. Awesome. This. Now. I am childish and impatient and sick of waiting and want to see shit beyond the Wall and Dany’s dragons and this is what I want to be watching tonight please, thanks.

haha, eff you stannis, you have no friends

  1. @miguelaron: HBO is remarkably terrible about making their stuff legally accessible to anyone who doesn’t want to subscribe to their whole channel every month. On the upside, the season one Blu-rays and DVDs finally come out on March 6; I’m going through the Blu-rays now for a Blogtown review, and it’s a really impressive set.

  2. Way more magic and murder in Clash. I liked it better than Book One. Spooky religions and more weird shit kept my interest more than royal court intrigue.
