Game of Thrones season 2 anticipation - HBO shows footage

Following the #gameofthrones tag, I was pleasently surprised to see that Katee Sackhoff is a big fan as well.
 
Another rave review, this time it's Hollywood reporter:

http://m.hollywoodreporter.com/review/Game-of-Thrones-HBO-Peter-Dinklage-George-Martin-304869

Game of Thrones is so much more than a genre series, a fantasy epic. It’s a series that doesn’t need to feel dramatically inferior up against the likes of Mad Men or Breaking Bad, Justified or anything else.

It’s quite a feat, this amplification of the achievements in Season 1, *and -- though it may be early yet in Season 2 – should ensure more Emmy recognition, genre be damned.

Maureen Ryan with a great review:

Martin's books take what could be generic ideas about morality and honor and make them compelling through very specific and individual dilemmas and concerns. There are wars, love affairs, surprising reversals and a persistent, powerful but unpredictable magic that continually asserts itself at key moments. Through it all, knotty questions are constantly asked of kings, servants, mercenaries and outcasts: At what point do you draw a line and assert that someone else's actions are wrong? When do you risk everything you have to fight what you've decided is evil? How do you even decide what evil is? What ideas and relationships are worth fighting for, and when is discretion the better part of valor?


There are no easy answers, but as it gains mastery in its depiction of Martin's complex and compassionate saga, "Game of Thrones" is doing an increasingly satisfying job of exploring those questions.

That was awesome. Is it Sunday yet? I already love Dolorous Edd. I can see him becoming a fan favorite this season.

This sucks, I've moved somewhere where I don't get HBO...

Oh well, they re-ran the first season quite a bit last summer so I'll just wait til that happens.

Np, it was not a spoiler. I'm just concerned that someone might reply to it an end up spoiling something.

More stuff.

Director Alan Taylor (who shot the pivotal Episode 9 and four episodes for season two) was snatched up to shoot the Thor sequel. Will you guys renew your contracts after season two?

Benioff: We want to keep working on the show and they want to keep us working on it. So I feel like that’s not going to be an issue. We hope to keep going as long as we can, because we love it.


Weiss: We went into this with the potentially over-ambitious notion that to get to the end we would have 70 or 80 hours of continuous, consistent film stories. I don’t know that anybody’s ever really done that before. We’d love to do it.

Looks like D&D envision 7-8 seasons (7 seasons if the last few seasons turn into 13 episode seasons)
