Winter seems officially to be coming now

The role of Tyrion Lannister has been cast in the HBO Game of Thrones pilot!

I don't think I've seen anything this actor is in, but various forums discussing the show have suggested he'll be great in the part. I'm very excited that the show seems to be making progress. I would love to see it onscreen, and HBO won't pull any punches when keeping to the...rather gritty spirit of the series, unlike the little I've seen of ABC Family's rendition of the Terry Goodkind books.

At first I was what are you talking about. Mid 60's all week and you're talking about winter.

Then I read and it makes perfect sense. I wonder if Martin will have the series finished in time?

Thanks for the info, I'll have to keep my eyes on HBO for it.
