Tywin speaks. (Major book 3 spoiler)

[spoiler]I would describe Tywin's demise as being memorable as opposed to being "spectacular"   [/spoiler]

[spoiler]The last line of that chapter is the best line in the series IMO.[/spoiler]

I guess The Simpsons gave Thrones a little love.

Tv.com is running their Best of 2011 awards, and of course Game of Thrones and its actors have taken quite a few places. Here's the list:

HBO has sent out a notice to the media that tomorrow they will air an all-new teaser for Game of Thrones' second season. As per usual, the trailer will air just prior to the season finale of Boardwalk Empire which starts at 9 PM ET. We will have the trailer embedded here immediately after it airs.

Winter Is Coming: Yes! Even though I was half-expecting this, it is still very exciting! Hoping for some better shots of Melisandre and Brienne, and maybe our first glimpse at Yara or Roose or Jaqen? What are you hoping to see?

Looks like we will be getting proper (CGI) dire wolves this season instead of dogs playing the part.

"I would like to see how the dragons have grown, progressed and improved. They appeared late in Season 1, right at the end of episode10. In the upcoming season, we see a lot more of them, and that's really exciting. And the direwolves. We've been involved in creating them this season, and we've shot a lot of elements with them. These things are big, the size of small horses, and I can't wait to see how they look."

Wonder if they talked with the folks who did the Twilight wolves? They may be bad films, but the CGI wolves were pretty good. No completely real looking, but not fake enough to be immersion breaking.
