Well at least when Jordan took that long to release the last book he had a good excuse... he died... ;)

I was more referring to the comment "jeez, another book?" with showing how long it's been between releases... It's not like boom, boom, boom another book. :p

Neil Marshall has signed up to direct an episode of HBO's Game of Thrones.

The Dog Soldiers director will helm a single instalment of the fantasy drama's second season, according to Deadline.

Marshall's work on Game of Thrones will mark his television debut. His past credits include such films as 2005's The Descent, 2008's Doomsday and last year's Centurion.

Other directors confirmed for the new season include The Pacific's David Nutter, Rubicon's Alik Sakharov and Boardwalk Empire's David Petrarca.

Palookaville's Alan Taylor, who directed the ninth and tenth instalments of the first season, will also return.

Natalie Dormer, Carice van Houten, Stephen Dillane, Liam Cunningham, Hannah Murray, Robert Pugh, Michael McElhatton and Patrick Malahide are among the actors to have signed up for roles on Game of Thrones.

The series will return to HBO in early 2012.

Just watched all 10 eps yesterday, today I bought all 5 books

Good for you!

The TV show is good, but the books are so much better :D

I can't wait to see how they film the battle at King's Landing in season 2!

so im pretty much done reading the first book and i'm re-watching the series and man do they cut out a lot, change some things and just add a way more sex and naked women (not that i'm complaining about the sex and women part...)

Really? I thought the first season was remarkably accurate and left very little out. I've also seen other people mention the amount of sex and nudity in the show but in general I think there's much more in the books. Maybe it's just a bit more obvious when you see it on TV but the books don't tend to leave much to the imagination. The other thing to note is that some of the sex in the book couldn't make it onto TV without being altered (for instance, Danaerys is only thirteen in the book).

I can't wait to see season 2.

Downton Abbey actress Rose Leslie has landed the key role of a Wildling woman that Jon Snow meets during during his adventures beyond the Wall. Ygritte is described as “strong-willed, witty, skilled in battle and survival in the wilderness. An unconventional beauty, skinny but strong with red hair (which the Wildlings consider ‘kissed by fire’).”
