I agree, but I think we are going to find out Emily is wrong about who the most responsible person was. I'm guessing Emily doesn't have all the facts.

Does anyone else suspect that Daniel wasn't killed on that beach? I don't know why, but I think he will end up working with Emily within the next 12 weeks.

I hope so. I'm glad that both Revenge and Pan Am are promoted during the ABC soaps.

Yeah, Body of Proof seems like it's going to fail, so that might by Revenge a better shot at a full order.

I really like this show a lot. I'm already shipping Emily/Jack and I love Nolan.

I look at it as Emily capitalizing on the situation. If fate hadn't set it up so perfectly, she just would have found another way to expose Lydia.

Me too. If they can just hold most of these viewers. It's a better show than I expected.

If it fails no one can say it was for lack of promotion, that's for sure.

I'd say Madeleine Stowe is a bigger name than EVC

Thanks Eric, that's good to know. I'm really hoping that this show is good and manages to survive.

If the pilot is available online, I wonder if that is going to hurt ratings. I'm kind of worried since shows are canceled so quickly these days.

I have high hopes for this one. I'll definitely give it a few episodes to grab my attention.

George R.R. Martin. The first book is "A Game of Thrones".

It sounds like he may stay on in a limited capacity, but that the grind of working so many hours a day was too much for him. It's too bad, since one of those articles mentioned that he had been trying to bring this to series for 5 years.

I think this article spells out the issues more clearly. Quotes some of the things he was saying behind the scenes at SDCC: http://www.tvguide.com/News/Walking-Dead-Frank-Darabont-Showrunner-1035739.aspx Sounds like they have a lot of season 2 wrapped up.

Yeah, I'm sort of concerned as well. I'm reading book 5 right now and I'm not convinced he can bring this home in two more books. Not to mention that the show runners said they think book 3 will take between 11/2 and three seasons!? They also said that they would feel like they had achieved something if they could film up to a particular event in book three (I won't name it for the sake of avoiding spoilers). So, I'm not sure they have any intention of filming this series to the book's conclusion. Ultimately, I guess I suspected that all along. It took GRRM six years to write this last book, if you've read even the first, you can see how complicated they are. I don't see that he can turn them out much faster than he has been. And he's not even planning to start the next book until next year. Perhaps the idea is to film the last books as mini series or movies. I imagine it all depends on the series gaining veiwers from season to season.

The videos are basically spoiler free (thanks Q, for posting). There are actually 5 parts, you'll find the other three by watching the first. At one point he does mention an event that happens in book 3, but he doesn't tell what happens. It would sort of be like someone saying "If we get to the filming of the Battle of the Bulge, we'll consider that an achievement", when the person they are speaking to has no idea what the Battle of the Bulge actually is. I'm slightly distressed by the idea that book 3 might take up two seasons. I just don't see how that is practical and yet...I don't see how it could be done in less than two without serious cuts. The writers sound like they would be happy just to get to the end of book 3, but I won't be happy! :-) There are to be 7 books total. I want to see this story filmed to it's conclusion. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Maybe, by season two this show will be popular enough to warrant 13 season episodes. That would help.

Synopsis of the GoT's Comic Con panel: http://www.aoltv.com/2011/07/22/comic-con-game-of-thrones/ To me this is the most interesting part:

Ugh! I see more of my teenage self than I like in Sansa. Not the "my prince will come" crap, but the taking my teenage angst out on innocent victims stuff. I agree it's going to be a long wait until season 2.

Sansa is not one of my favorites by any stretch, but I do feel sorry for her. I don't think she ever wanted a crown in the way that most of the players do. Sansa isn't after power, she's a girl who was raised on fairytales. She was snotty to both her father and the Septa, but to me that's just being 15 years old. She took her father and Septa for granted and was acting out against them because of what happened with Lady. And yes, it was her own fault for lying, but she's a teenager, she had no idea how high the stakes really were in King's Landing. I loved the way the Septa tried to protect Sansa in the end. She and Syrio were so loyal. That said, I almost wish she had pushed Joff over that ledge. She would have been executed, but it would have been worth it.

The show got 13 Emmy noms: http://winter-is-coming.net/2011/07/game-of-thrones-garners-13-emmy-nominations/

Did you get all 3? That's awesome. I want one of the steins.
