With less than a week to go before the two-hour premiere of Season Two of "Game of Thrones" on Sunday, HBO is taking a leaf out of Harry Potter's book and asking fans to "pledge their allegiance" to one of five choices in the battles ahead.
Are you a Greyjoy, a Stark, a Lannister, a Baratheon or a Targaryen? With only five days to go before the Season Two premiere of political fantasy epic "Game of Thrones," HBO has aired five new TV spots asking viewers to "pledge their allegiance" to one of the five houses. Watch them all here, and find out what they can tell viewers about the show's second season.
Rather than school houses like Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, however, the network is asking viewers to pledge themselves to noble Houses. And unlike the popular J.K. Rowling series, no one House has a monopoly on either evil or good.

FUHBO! for showing ‘Game Change’ Cancel HBO then reactivate it with ‘3 month promotional offer including HBO’. LOL!
Even if you aren’t normally a fan of this kind of thing, try this experiment:
Step One: Buy paperback of book one of George RR Martin’s “Game of Thrones”
Step Two: Keep it in bathroom.
Step Three: Enjoy the morning.
Seriously, each chapter is told from the point of view of a differant character, and it’s in very easy to digest snippets. I can’t recommend it enough, and I read *a lot*.
I tried that but my cable company said there wasn't a 3 month offer; but they were offering a one year for half off the monthly price. I did it 'cause me and hubby have been looking forward to this for a year.
I have a two year back log of books to read.
I read the first four novels in this series when they came out. Extremely good, but frustrating, as Martin kept taking longer and longer to bring out the next volume, and then stalled with Book IV.
Now he’s started it up again, years later, to go along with the video version. I don’t know if it would be worth going back to it or not, frankly. I’ll think about it. But I don’t want to do it until the damned series is finished, this time.
Time to warm up the kindle. What is the first book?
Go ahead, pay Bill Maher’s salary suckers.
I tend to be a Stark fan, but since Ned died, I am not so enamoured of the clan personalities - except the youngest daughter.
I am drawn to the Khalisi and am curious to see what they will be doing with her in the story. I wish they would netflix the first season.
The series is called A Song of Fire and Ice.

Do you think John Snow is the promised prince? And is he Eddard’s nephew via his sister and the Taegryn rape, instead of his bastard by a noblewoman?
They sure do like ‘doggystyle’ in that series...
Lots of it. Its almost hardcore porn. Its also kinda creepy the way the brother whored out his sister to the “Turkish” dude...
I just watch it at the gf’s house. That and ‘Robot Chicken’... Any other time and I will go to bed and forget about the ghost, vampire, and werewolf show.
I have TV, but I don’t watch it much. School and all you know...
Also, she doesn’t have the Sportsman’s Channel, so, there you go............. I will hit the hay... She can stay up and watch crap-on-a-stick, I am crashing...By the time she wants to snuggle, I am out and gone till morning...(any ladies reading this should pay attention...)
Sorry to tell you, but he got killed off in Book 5. Maybe he will be resurrected in some way.
I forgot to mention that the ‘di’wolves? are kick ass, would love a dog like that... the northern wolves they have on the show...
Anyways, school and exams manana....
Shyeah, right. If there’s no body, he’s not dead.
I got Season One from the library. Watching it to see Sean Bean as the head of the Stark clan.
