It seems one of my very favourite fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire, is possibly to be made into a television series. Hopefully it will be done well, but George R. R. Martin himself seems confident that HBO (the ones who have bought the option) are the right people to do it. I have always thought that if it were to be adapted this would be the format to make. Each chapter follows the perspective of a particular character so I would want to make each chapter, roughly, into an episode so each week we would be following a different character. But I am not a television person and I suspect it would not work out well with some characters going months between appearances and such.
Moment of fanny fancasting: Martin has said he thinks the guy who plays Red in That 70s Show could do Tywin Lannister [Kurtwood Smith]. I have seen suggested and agree that maybe the guy who plays the Janitor in Scrubs would do well as Sandor Clegane [Neil Flynn].
