A Game of Thrones, series pilot greenlighted by HBO

I think of hobbits as pandas. They must be coaxed into procreation. Too busy smoking pipe-weed and growing things and generally having hairy feet.

Also, I really cannot recommend this series highly enough. This is one of those transcendent forms of art to me. Like Cowboy Bebop and Calvin and Hobbes, this is a product I have no reservations about recommending to people. Unless you really hate anything sexual in books (and I know some people do).

I love this series, the only hesitation I have in reccomending it to people these days is that I can’t tell them when the next book will come out, and it’s just been so long. I hope they put episodes up online after airing them, there’s no way I’ll be able to convince the 'rents to pay for the show. Maybe I could wait til it gets on DVD, or something.
