It took Santa Ned for me to see that there is a crow in the image.

There may be no show more profitable to its network than "Game of Thrones" is to HBO. Fully produced by the pay cabler and already a global phenomenon after only one season, the fantasy skein was a gamble that has paid off handsomely. "Boardwalk Empire" is also strong, as is vampire staple "True Blood." Comedies were a different story, however, as "Enlightened," was critically applauded and got renewed but failed to deliver an audience. Laffers "Bored to Death," "How to Make It in America" and "Hung" all saw declines and got the ax in one fell swoop. In nonprogramming news, online viewing portal HBO Go proved a major hit, allowing the HBO brand to extend far beyond traditional TV viewing

So they can afford to punch up some big scenes like the Battle on the Blackwater .....

I think BW will be bigger than anything from last season and you know all the important stuff will be there because GRRM wrote the ep. I linked a snip from someone who said they were on the crew and said it was going to be pretty epic. Let's hope!

I read ( and heard ) RR Martin saying there's "No way" the Blackwater will be as epic as the book .
It'd take the same budget as a full length motion picture or somesuch .

Regardless , I do believe I will be sockless at the end of that ep .

( I hope Tyrion says "Those are brave men. Let's go kill them.." )
