Finally, I motivating factor for me picking up HBO sometime in the future. HBO has acquired the rights to George R. R. Martin‘s A Song of Ice and Fire. They plan to turn each of the books into a season-long set of episodes. Said Martin on his site:
[The executive producers and screenwriters] impressed the hell out of me, and I’m really looking forward to working with them. They’re both bright, passionate, enthusiastic. They know the books inside and out, they get the books, and they’re committed to bringing my story to your television screens… not a vaguely similar story with the same title (ala Earthsea, or what passed for same on the Sci-Fi Channel). A Song of Ice and Fire should be in very good hands.
Winter is coming.

Yeah I know we have been talking about the same thing all week. One of the karate guys even offered to split the HBO cost so I could Tivo them and bring them over to watch like I am currently doing with “Heroes” since they do not have cable.
