Game of Thrones - season 3 teasers

Winter is coming on March 31^st. 

Are you guys as excited as I am about the new Games of Thrones season 3 premiere? We only have a few more days to wait: March 31^st is the magic date.

Even thought I have read all the books, I’m still crazy about the series. The truth is that HBO did an amazing job with it. 

The new season will cover half of A Storm of Swords, the third novel in Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire saga and the second half of the book will be covered in season four. I really hope the show will be picked up for next year as that didn’t happen just yet, but I’m sure it will.

 Ain't that the truth? Ygritte, you're a true poetess:))))

 The scenery  is always breathtaking!

So many things happened in Game of Thrones season 1 and 2: betrayal after betrayal, characters hating each other, blood, dragons, love, war, intrigue  and the always shocking end of the season, so it’s not crazy to assume that we will get some much expected payoff time now.  

If you are a hardcore fan of Game of Thrones (like yours truly), you have to check out the The King's Roadmap that some very cool guys built recently - it's interactive and will be updated every week to keep up with the new episodes.

This third season was shot in five different countries, with many production teams working simultaneously. Besides Dubrovnik, Croatia, other filming locations included Morocco, Iceland - on the Vatnajökull glacier and Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Another highlight is the Game of Thrones season 3 casting and the fact that new characters will appear: Clive Russell as Bryndon "The Blackfish" Tully, Ciarán Hinds (Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy) as Mance Rayder, the fearsome King Beyond the Wall, Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Jojen Reed, the burning sword-wielding Baeric Dondarrion (Richard Dormer), slave-turned-handmaiden Missandei (Nathalie Emmanuel) and Diane Rigg as Lady Olenna Tyrell, "The Queen of Thorns."

HBO is taunting us for days now with a bunch of amazing new Game of Thrones season 3 trailers and after seeing them I have to say: “HBO, don’t worry, we are still interested in what you are offering!”. 

Also the released photos for the new season got me really excited! Did you see Daenerys with her army? Awesome, right?

And Joffrey, put down the freaking crossbow, you are an idiot and you will only hurt yourself with it (fingers crossed)!!! Why don’t you die already?

Sansa is looking more beautiful every day, I didn't see it at first but Sophie Turner is really stunning in this coming season!

 

And, George R. R. Martin, please don’t even think about doing what you said you are planning to do in the Game of Thrones at the San Diego’s Comic-Con: “I may have to start killing some of these characters to make room for new ones.” If you even touch Jon, Aria, Tyrion or Dany, I will never ever forgive you! 

That being said, I’m not that worried as the show is following the books pretty accurately so far and all my “no, you didn’t” moments have been already rehearsed. I basically know everything that will happen, but I still love to watch how they bring the story to life!

Besides, I’m sure that we can now rest assured Martin will never kill my favorite characters, I just publicly warned him! He would never diss me like that!

Let the games begin! 

Are you a fan? Are you watching the Game of Thrones TV show? Have you read the "A song of Ice and Fire" saga yet? I personally think it's one of the best fantasy series ever written (and I should know - I've read them all)!
