Tower of the Hand

George R. R. Martin posts a Not a Blog from Ireland, offering high praise for the cast and production: "Yes, some things are not exactly as they were in the books, that's inevitable with any adaptation... but these are my characters and this is my story, and it's thrilling to see 'em come to life." GRRM also confirms which scenes have been shot, which I can now add to our new Locations Gallery.

GRRM also reports on his signings and meetups in Belfast and Dublin. JacMac30 posted some video of the Belfast moot where GRRM says HBO will decide on the series' fate by March and that it's possible Game of Thrones may get a two-season order. Winter Is Coming and the ASOIAF Forum have more on Dublin.
