News Of Thrones


In recent promo tour for the 3rd season of Game Of Thrones, Charles "Tywin Lannister" Dance alluded to a 4th season...and that's only some of the recent awesome news.

It didn't take long for previous seasons to get green-lit, but getting a fourth season before the debut of the third is excellent.  Plus the third novel of the series, A Storm Of Swords, was split up, with only the first half being included in the new season, so it not be left unfinished...at least that book.

And as far as completing books four and five (and the unfinished book six), showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have it under control.  “We have the opportunity here to tell a coherent story that lasts for 80 hours,” they said, assuming HBO keeps re-upping the rest of the story.  “We gave up other opportunities because we love these books and want to do them justice."  And there's no reason not to expect them to see it through, as ratings have steadily grown, from 2.2 million viewers when the show debuted to 4.2 million on the final Season 2 episode.

Of course, everything related to the show is hot, including Emilia "Daenerys Targaryen" Clarke, who is currently on Broadway in Breakfast At Tiffany's.  So hot that management at the theater had had to beef up security to enforce their no photography rule. Clarke, who has been going from a strategically placed towel to naked in a bubble bath.  Folks in the balcony are getting a better view, but the best, and certainly least expensive one is a web search for her Season 1 scenes.  Plus you're spared having to deal with the theater crowd.
