Re: George R.R. Martin
Yeah, one thing reading the books gives you that is hard to convey on screen often is what the characters are thinking. Great actors can sometimes do this without dialogue, but it's certainly a skill. I went back and re-watched Season 1 after reading the first book and it definitely impacts the way you view things... Often with discussing the show with my co-worker, I've found that things I never really gave a second thought to were unclear to him or didn't seem like they were in-character... but from reading the books, you get into the mind of most of these characters due to the POV style, so you know they do actually fit.
The more you read, the more it becomes amazing that they even attempted to take this story on given the breadth of the story they are working with. I just have a bad feeling that they are going to pass up Martin in the end and spoil the ending for us. No way is HBO going to do prequel seasons or wait around. He'd better move his ass.

Re: George R.R. Martin
I don't remember seeing that anywhere. The most recent article I saw on the subject was the producer talking about how 7 seasons would be their "sweet spot" and their were concerns about the children aging going forward.

Martin has a development deal with HBO beyond GoT. It was rumored that he would be interested in making the Dunk and Egg novellas into a series.canaan wrote:didnt they say that they would do that?the wicked child wrote:No way is HBO going to do prequel seasons

So they cast someone for... They won't say. I can't think of any roles that would require any kind of secrecy...

I can think of one role they would need to keep secret, but its not untill book 5, unless they are going to start inserting some prelude to the character now for season 4.
