He was asked by the New York Times if he had told the producers what happens in future books Mark Send a noteboard - 05/04/2011 06:01:23 PM
He avoided answering the question.

Q.

Are they privy to information about what’s going to happen in future novels?

A.

We’ve had various meetings where they’ve asked me stuff like that. It’s a little tricky because of course the series is not finished. And the structure is quite unusual. Minor characters in the first book become very major characters three books later on, which is a challenge for any producer, because how do you deal with that in the series? We have many challenges yet to come, assuming the show is successful. But fortunately David and Dan have to solve all those problems, and I don’t. [laughs] I just create the problems for them, and then they have to solve it.

Is it a good idea to start a series Camilla - 04/04/2011 10:02:52 AM 895 Views
No, but do you honestly expect this to be completed? *NM* Ghavrel - 05/04/2011 01:08:57 AM 605 Views
In this case, apparently yes. Werthead - 05/04/2011 05:43:19 PM 1125 Views

I may get cable just to watch this show. I'm so pissed it was only 15 minutes. I should've waited *NM* cristopher lee - 04/04/2011 03:45:34 PM 358 Views
Very good *NM* ironclad - 04/04/2011 04:07:03 PM 362 Views
I don't have tv service, so I'm hoping it's made available online. Looks promising. Zalis - 04/04/2011 04:27:16 PM 795 Views
Pretty impressive Stephen - 04/04/2011 06:06:38 PM 756 Views
But it was only 14 minutes long.....misleading title if you ask me. djwilson300 - 04/04/2011 06:33:09 PM 829 Views
Pretty sweet, and yes, the actors look good. Legolas - 04/04/2011 08:11:32 PM 1165 Views
I'd guess that's the reason for the change. Stephen - 04/04/2011 10:06:56 PM 934 Views
Wasn't "White Walkers" in the books too? A Deathwatch Guard - 05/04/2011 04:03:26 AM 824 Views

IIRC, they're also called Wights. *NM* Japhy - 06/04/2011 06:59:47 AM 390 Views
Wights are the ice-zombies that the Others create imlad - 14/04/2011 01:07:29 PM 880 Views
What are they? *NM* Aeryn - 10/04/2011 05:46:08 PM 362 Views
Do you mean what are White-Walkers? everynametaken - 15/04/2011 05:45:40 AM 872 Views
I think you need to use this opprutunity to give yourself an excuse to reread the novels. Roland00 - 05/04/2011 05:03:01 AM 788 Views
That's a good idea. Darth_Katie - 05/04/2011 01:30:00 PM 778 Views

2 beheadings in 15 minutes? AWESOME! *NM* Fox and Ravens - 04/04/2011 10:42:33 PM 378 Views
That's what I said! Darth_Katie - 05/04/2011 01:44:12 PM 893 Views
Didn't they find the Dire wolves in the first chapter of the book... Japhy - 06/04/2011 04:39:25 PM 898 Views
They'll probably show up soon enough. Legolas - 06/04/2011 07:44:16 PM 894 Views
Nope, they're after the execution A Deathwatch Guard - 06/04/2011 07:56:33 PM 775 Views
Pretty cool but was Greyjoy missing at the beheading? everynametaken - 09/04/2011 10:36:47 PM 891 Views
maybe that's the minor character Werthead mentions not being in the first season Jim - 10/04/2011 03:44:39 PM 760 Views
Theon is the one that hands Ice to Ned just before the execution imlad - 14/04/2011 01:13:19 PM 803 Views
I thought I saw him... the guy looking with interest as the Starks look away? *NM* Legolas - 10/04/2011 03:55:46 PM 341 Views
Yep, I think that's him ironclad - 11/04/2011 07:33:25 PM 806 Views
