Weiss, che ha esordito il 17 aprile 2011. So were going to talk about Game Of Thrones, this brutal TV series that, as I understand it, is based on NPR office politics, if Im not mistaken. PETER SAGAL, BYLINE It absolutely is. INSKEEP Inspired by it. SAGAL As you know, you and I, of course, have probably watched it together and seen the savagery, the violence, the betrayals, the incest and said, oh, just another day at work. INSKEEP Laughter But then you go home and you need more of it on television, Peter Sagal. SAGAL I know, yeah, exactly. I am a huge fan of the show. And I think its in part because, like the creators of the show, who are more or less my age Im 5. I grew up on fantasy Tolkien. I was 1. 2 when Star Wars came out. INSKEEP Oh, like Lord Of The Rings and that kind of stuff. SAGAL Oh, all that stuff. And to see Game Of Thrones to read the books, which I have a number of times, and to see the show is to see that genre that we all grew up with sort of brought forth into a kind of adult world. We were children when we read The Lord Of The Rings. Were adults watching and reading Game Of Thrones now, and thats extremely satisfying. INSKEEP Have you been following it since season one SAGAL I have. I was sitting in front of my TV in the attic at the premiere, yes. I was right there. INSKEEP In the attic at the premiere. That sounds kind of. SAGAL Well, thats where nerds go to watch TV. INSKEEP Laughter You werent allowed anywhere else in the house with this material. Puzzle Games For Full Version. SAGAL No, no, no. It was like, you know, he has to go upstairs and watch his funny thing with naked ladies and swords. Kids, pay no attention. INSKEEP Laughter So youve been following all along, which leads to a question. I havent been following all along. I would imagine many people listening, surprisingly perhaps to you, have not been following all along. SAGAL What is wrong with them INSKEEP Ive seen enough to know that its extraordinarily complicated, lots of characters coming and going. Is it too late even to catch up on this seriesSAGAL Oh, yes. I cannot recommend anybody if you havent seen Game Of Thrones, do not I repeat, do not sit down and start watching the first episode of season seven this Sunday night. You will be confused. You will be bored. You will be annoyed and irritated. But I have a test for you. If you want to find out if you like this stuff, this story specifically, pick up the first book and read right up into and through I think its the fourth chapter. Youll know whether you love this or not. I did. I read it. And I was 1. 5 years old again when I was walking around with my Tolkien paperbacks literally walking into walls because I wasnt looking where I was going. Thats what I became again as a tired, old man reading this book. I could not put it down. INSKEEP Thats what you were like at age 1. Walking into walls while. SAGAL Yes. You know, and its those light concussive blows that lead to a career in public radio, as you know. INSKEEP Yes. SAGAL So. INSKEEP In all fairness, you might have bumped into me at some point. SAGAL Its possible. That was basically we might have known each other all the time just wandering around staring at our nerd paperbacks. INSKEEP Laughter. SAGAL And here we are, however many decades later. Oh, I thought I recognized your feet. INSKEEP Someday well compare old bruises or whatever. SAGAL Exactly. INSKEEP So help me out here a little bit or help people out here. SAGAL Sure. INSKEEP I mean, this is like a world thats kind of a medieval world. SAGAL Yes. INSKEEP. Not quite the real world. Broken Windows 7 Theme Full Version With Crack. Theres a map of what looks to me, Peter, like maybe a map of Europe and of Great Britain as it might have been drawn by map makers before they had satellites or navigational tools or really very good at map making. SAGAL Yes. The books and stories and TV show takes place in a fictional world, a continent called Westeros, which has a lot in common with kind of high medieval Europe the same kind of swords and knights and tourneys and castles setting that seems to be familiar to with all of fantasy. For some reason, high fantasy gets set in, like, circa 1. INSKEEP OK. SAGAL And brilliantly, they have physically realized this world using a combination of costume design, art direction and a lot of CGI. I mean, they use real settings, everywhere from Iceland to the coast of Croatia, but they added a tremendous amount of CGI so it looks like a real place, this vast continent called Westeros. And also another one called Essos. Dont write in, nerds. INSKEEP Laughter Wait a minute, he forgot the other continent. SAGAL I know. Excuse me, dear. INSKEEP Somebody has already sent that tweet and now theyre going to have to. SAGAL. Dear NPR yes, I know. We like to correct, we nerds. INSKEEP So I have to ask, since season seven is beginning. Im thinking of the famous phrase jump the shark, the moment in a series where they kind of run out of sensible ideas and start doing silly things just to keep it going. Has the series jumped the shark SAGAL I dont think so. I think that they have, in fact, more so than almost any other TV show that I can remember, kept true to the things that made it good from the beginning. In fact, when this world was invented by George R. R. Martin, he had this rather complete vision of both the world he was writing about this incredibly complex, fake world and where he wanted it to go. So he laid out rails for them that the TV showrunners have kept on, even though now theyve actually gone beyond where the last published book is. INSKEEP So one other thing, Peter. Ive heard people use the phrase in ordinary life, in a business situation or talking about news events, its like Game Of Thrones. And I think they mean its a situation where its brutally competitive and people could be killed off really or metaphorically at any time. SAGAL Yeah. INSKEEP But youve really thought really hard about this series. SAGAL I really have, Steve. INSKEEP Is that what its really about, is just the ruthless human competition Or is it about something bigger and deeperEpic Facts About Game of ThronesThose who have been missing Game of Throness unique blend of sex, blood, and dragons will have to wait until next summer for the shows return. To help the time pass, here are 2. Valar morghulis. Spoiler alert for all aired episodes. THERES AN UNAIRED PILOT. The first pilot, directed by Spotlight writer director Tom Mc. Carthy, was so terrible that it had to be shelved and reshot. We got everything wrong on a very basic level with the writing of it, show co creator David Benioff told Variety. One of the biggest problems None of the friends he and Weiss invited to watch the pilot realized that Jaime and Cersei were brother and sister, which is a major, major plot point that we had somehow failed to establish. CATELYN STARK AND DAENERYS TARGARYEN WERE ORIGINALLY PLAYED BY OTHER ACTORS. In the original pilot, Catelyn Stark and Daenerys Targaryen were played by Jennifer Ehle and Tamzin Merchant, respectively by the time the show aired, they had been replaced by Michelle Fairley and Emilia Clarke. George R. R. Martin, who wrote the book series on which Game of Thrones is based, also had a cameo in the original pilot as a guest at Daenerys and Khal Drogos wedding. THERE WERE A BUNCH OF OTHER CASTING CLOSE CALLS. Ehle and Merchant werent Game of Throness only could have beens. Gillian Anderson turned down an unspecified role on the show, as did The Wires Dominic West. Judging by the fact that, per West, the role would have involved shooting in Reykjavik for six months, it was probably Mance Rayder, a role that eventually went to Ciarn Hinds. The Hunger Games franchises Sam Claflin auditioned for Jon Snow and Viserys Targaryen, and Outlander star Sam Heughan auditioned for a variety of roles, including Renly Baratheon and Loras Tyrell, seven times. PETER DINKLAGE THOUGHT THE SHOW HAD BEEN CANCELED. Macall B. PolayHBOAfter the pilot was picked up, David Benioff pranked Peter Dinklage by calling him and telling him the show had been canceled. It was six hours before Dinklage learned the truth. SANSA STARK ADOPTED HER DIREWOLF IN REAL LIFE. Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark, adopted Zunni, the Northern Inuit dog that played her pet direwolf on the series first season. Growing up I always wanted a dog, but my parents never wanted one, Turner told Coventry Telegraph in 2. We kind of fell in love with my characters direwolf, Lady, on set. We knew Lady died and they wanted to re home her. My mum persuaded them to let us adopt her. DOTHRAKI IS A REAL LANGUAGE. In 2. 01. 4, Living Language released a conversational language course that will have you speaking like Khal Drogo in no time. The course was crafted by linguist David J. Peterson, who worked with HBO to create the Dothraki heard on the show. SEVERAL CHARACTERS HAVE CHANGED ACTORS. A handful of characters have been played by more than one actor over the course of the show, notably Daario Naharis Ed Skrein in season three, Michiel Huisman in seasons four, five, and six, Tommen Baratheon Callum Wharry in seasons one and two, Dean Charles Chapman in seasons three through six, and his sister Myrcella Aimee Richardson in seasons one and two, Nell Tiger Free in season five, and Gregor The Mountain Clegane Conan Stevens in season one, Ian Whyte in season two, Hafr Jlus Bjrnsson in seasons four, five, and six. DAENERYS TARGARYEN ORIGINALLY HAD VIOLET EYES. Macall B. PolayHBOIn the books, the Targaryen family members are notable for their silver hair and violet eyes. During shooting, Daenerys Emilia Clarke and Viserys Harry Lloyd Targaryen originally wore violet contact lenses, but Benioff and Weiss decided they negatively impacted the actors ability to portray emotion. A LOT OF DEAD CHARACTERS ARE ALIVE IN THE BOOKS. More than a handful of characters are alive in Martins books, but dead on the show. These include Shireen and Stannis Baratheon, Nights Watchmen Pyp and Grenn, Barristan Selmy, Myrcella Baratheon, and Mance Rayder. SHOOTING THE HORSE HEART SCENE WAS AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE. The horse heart Daenerys had to eat in season one was essentially a giant gummy candyone that, per Clarke, tasted a little bit like bleach. To make the proceedings even grosser, all the fake blood made Clarke so sticky that she got stuck to a toilet. THERES MORE THAN ONE MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL CONNECTION. Part of Game of Throness pilot was shot in one of the castles used for Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Three seasons later, in Breaker of Chains, an unnamed Meereenese warrior shouts a series of taunts at Daenerys that include Your mother was a hamster, Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person, and I blow my nose at you in Low Valyrian, of course. REAL PEOPLE ARE NAMING THEIR KIDS AFTER GAME OF THRONES CHARACTERS. Macall B. PolayHBOIn the year 2. Social Security Administration, Khaleesi was the United Statess 7. In England, Khaleesi, Arya, Tyrion, Brienne, Sansa, Bran, Sandor, and Theon also saw a rise in popularity after Game of Thrones began airing. What, no Dagmer Cleftjaw1. THE STARK KIDS ARE DIFFERENT AGES IN THE SHOW THAN IN THE BOOKS. When A Game of Thrones the book starts off, the Stark children are much younger than their on screen counterparts. Bran was supposed to be seven, while the actor who played him Isaac Hempstead Wright was 1. Arya played by Maisie Williams went from nine to 1. Sansa Sophie Turner went from eleven to 1. Rickon Art Parkinson from three to six. In perhaps the most, ahem, stark difference, if Game of Thrones had stayed completely true to its source material, Robb Stark Richard Madden and Jon Snow Kit Harington would have been only 1. GEORGE R. R. MARTIN MADE THE SHOWRUNNERS GUESS WHO JON SNOWS MOTHER. Before hed bestow his blessing on Weiss and Benioff, Martin asked the two wannabe showrunners the question that has spurred thousands upon thousands of words of fan speculation Who is Jon Snows real mother It was very much like a test question, Benioff admitted. Basically, it was like Guess. I want your guess to be intelligent and I want it to be based in the facts of the world, Weiss added. We had already discussed it. Wed had like a two hour conversation about it. It was pretty well trammeled territory for us. ONE ACTOR HAS PLAYED FOUR CHARACTERS. British actor and stunt performer Ian Whyte has played a grand total of four roles on Game of Thrones. In seasons one and two he was a White Walker also in season two, he played Gregor Clegane one of three actors to play the role season three saw him as an unnamed giant in season five he played the Wildling giant Wun Wun. RAMSAY SNOW ALMOST PLAYED JON SNOW. Helen SloanHBOIwan Rheon was the runner up to play Jon Snow.
