Peter Dinklage as Tyrion? Holyfuckyeah.

Seriously!

Yeah! I would watch/listen to that guy read a grocery store list as it is. But taking the role of one of my favorite fantasy characters? Woah.

Never got into those books, but I do love Dinklage, and the show seems like it'll probably be kewl.

Should the series finish, you might want to check them out. They're fun if you go into them with few preconceptions, though that might be the hard part.

[vee_ecks]

Yeah, my ex was always telling me to read them, and I just never did. I think I've actually got the first one around, someplace.

[aergern]

Yeah. IF he finishes them. This 5 years between books is just retarded. And he gets pissy when reminded of it .. especially during football season. *laugh*

I guess I'll subscribe to HBO when this hits since I don't have it presently.

Martin himself confirmed it on his "notablog"

So kickass. I can't wait to see who else is who else. Yanno?

Belatedly: yeah! It just makes me excited for the rest of the updates, too. I have an immense fondness for the novels so far.
