"I actually added some ground meat instead of making this vegetarian. I also substituted white beans for the black beans b/c I didn't have black beans. I also left out the hot pepper sauce and some of the diced tomatoes."

Game of Thrones is a site for the HBO-series based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
This is the third in our series of actor interviews leading up to the premiere of Game of Thrones on March 31st (April 1st in the UK, Scandinavia, and elsewhere).
And as it happens, this is also our third interview with Nikolaj to date, and he remains as charming and entertaining as always. The interview transcript below doesn't really go very far to indicate just how engaging he can be to talk with, and how funny. Despite the provison from HBO that details for season 3 were not really permitted to be discussed, Nikolaj provided some small suggestions about how the story may go in the course of discussing the series, his character, and the fans.
So, what can you tell us about the new season?
One of the real pleasures of the press junket this year was getting to talk to a member of the cast I've not met previously… and perhaps no cast member has really excited me as much as Gwendoline Christie, the imposing Brienne of Tarth.
The actress seemed practically born for this role, and she made quite an impression in her all-too-brief appearances in the second season. The third season promises to give us a lot more of the Maid of Tarth, as she travels through the dangerous, war-torn riverlands trying to deliver Jaime Lannister to King's Landing as Catelyn Stark commanded her to do.
What can you tell us about this season of Game of Thrones?
This is the first of a series of interviews that we've had with actors from Game of Thrones, ahead of season 3. It was nice to say hello again to some of the actors, who are starting to become familiar faces, and also to meet some actors (both old and new) that I've never had the pleasure of meeting before. First up, here's our interview with Michelle Fairley, who plays Catelyn Stark!
What can you tell us about Catelyn in season 3?
The release of Inside HBO's Game of Thrones was a chance for fans the world over to get a closer look behind the scenes at the making of the series, thanks to the writing of series story editor and writer Bryan Cogman having penned the book, filling it with the insights he was able to take from fellow members of the production team and the cast.
And now the collector's edition has been released (Order: Amazon US, Amazon UK), and it adds an additional wrinkle: among the various bits of swag, such as the scrolled maps, is a whole second volume, this one containing storyboards from artist Will Simpson which are a key part of the process of creating and producing the series.
To explain more about the books, and what they reveal and what's contained within, we had the opportunity to interview Bryan so that he can provide a better understanding of what fans can expect to find.
Over at our Youtube channel, we've been posting various videos since last year—first discussing the A Song of Ice and Fire novels and then, this year, sharing our thoughts on each episode after they aired (plus a bit of A Song of Ice and Fire stuff, as well). Now that season 2 is a wrap, Linda and I have put together a long, two-part video covering each section of the story in rough, geographic area (very rough in some cases), and have discussed what we liked and disliked, what the differences in our reactions were from season to season, or hopes for the next season, and more.
Before "Valar Morghulis" aired, I had the chance to interview Alfie Allen about his role as Theon Greyjoy, his character's arc, the pranks that a certain pair of executive producers love to pull, and more.
Alfie's story this season has been one of the highlihghts of season 2, something which I told him and which, as you'll see, he was quite pleased to hear!
Varys would've been a hell of a TV critic. Think about it:
"Adaptation is a trick, a shadow on the wall. And sometimes a very dense source material can cast a very pale shadow."
With such a statement, the best informed eunuch in the history of fiction would probably shed some much needed light on heated discussions over the second season of Game of Thrones. Yes, adapting a story from one medium to another is quite a tricky business, and also pretty abstract one, especially if you're adapting something from the non-visual medium to the screen, as it's almost always the case. No rules are carved in stone there.
Well, some rules are, in fact. For example, the rule that touches not only adaptations, but also the very nature of motion pictures: don't move them too fast. Pictures, that is. Don't move them faster than human eye can catch them, or you'll get strange, rapid action that is bound to look both clumsy and cheap on screen. In short, don't do what Game of Thrones did in episodes 5 and 15.
One of the most recent departures from the show has been that of Irri, the Dothraki handmaiden and companion to Daenerys Targaryen. Played by actress Amrita Acharia, Irri showed herself to be spirited and dutiful, and it seems that last trait may well have led to her character's very unexpected death on the series. We had the opportunity to speak to Amrita about he role, what it was like to be involved in a production of this scale, the difficulties of acting when speaking an imaginary language, and the problem of being one of the Horse Lords but without ever riding a horse… !
Unlike most of our interviews, this one has been published at Suvudu, where I've contributed a number of reviews and articles related to Game of Thrones. So go ahead and read the interview!
One of the key deviations from the novels this season is that Robb Stark, played by Scottish actor Richard Madden, will be followed in his journey through the narrative when the book pulled away and kept him in the background.
In past interviews, the executive producers have said a large part of the reason was that they loved Madden and his presence on the show, and they wanted to see more of him. It's difficult not to see their point: handsome, capable of playing stalwart and naive by turns, and charismatic, Madden draws the eye whenever he's on screen portraying Eddard Stark's son, who is now the King in the North.
We had a chance to speak with Madden on the phone while he's in L.A. doing the press thing, and decided to ask him questions (and, in one case, make a proposal) based on what fans submitted to us. See the results below!
Almost a year ago, we first had a long chat with writer and keeper of the mythos, Bryan Cogman, about his role in the first season, which included writing the episode, "Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things".
Bryan was there almost from the ground floor, helping during the time of the pilot, and becoming the right hand man to David and Dan as they developed, wrote, and produced the show. Going into the second season, he received the title of story editor… and he wrote the extremely well-received third episode of the series, "What is Dead May Never Die".
In the interview below, Bryan discusses various aspects of the episode, his overall role on the show, and more. Insightful as always!
Having planned to run this last week just before the premiere, and then just after the premiere, and then when we had the renewal news, and then this past weekend…
Well, it's finally live: the last interview from our trip to the international press junket in London in late February, where we talk with executive producers David Benioff and Dan Weiss. I'd met David before when I visited the set back during the filming of the first season, and I'd spoken to the both of them during an interview around that time as well, but it was the first time meeting Dan… and yes, he's just as much One Of Us as you can imagine, geek boys and girls; check out the question regarding the shirt he was wearing!
Call me schizophrenic – I'm a guy of several different foci, usually in focus simultaneously. While mostly covering the gaming industry for several different sites (Gamasutra, IGN, Nintendojo, TotalPlayStation), I also write about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort for Orlando Informer and found-footage films for Corona's Coming Attractions and, but of course, George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire for Tower of the Hand.
With season two of HBO's Game of Thrones quickly approaching (in two weeks!), it's been mostly the last that has consumed my every waking thought. In between re-watching season one episodes, rereading chapters of A Clash of Kings, and publishing ebooks on the subject, I thought it might be fun – and, just possibly, instructive – to gather a chorus of experts to chat away on a slightly different perspective on Martin's multimedia creation. The subject? Why, that one fundamental element absolutely crucial to each and every type of imagined world, whether it be physical or literary or, yes, digital: verisimilitude.
Thanks to our friends over at Sky Altantic's Thronecast after-show, we have another first look exclusive on longer interview segments they have up with members of the cast and crew. We've already posted their Benioff &Weiss and Dance interviews, so let's close up with my favorite character: Catelyn Stark, and the actor who's brought her to life, Michelle Fairley.
You can read our own interview with Fairley here.
Continuing our series of interviews from the press junket in London that we attended at the end of February—just one more left after this—is with one of the actors who has gotten the most attention from the success of Game of Thrones: Emilia Clarke, the actress who's brought Daenerys Targaryen to life.
She was as charming and cheerful as you can imagine, meeting with us and fielding questions about her work. Topics range from various aspects of her performance, her familiarity with the novels (on the face of it, she's probably read them more times than I have!), and a whole lot more. It was a pleasure speaking with her!
Thronecast is almost upon us—following hard on the April 2nd premiere of Game of Thrones on Sky Atlantic in the UK—and they've kindly allowed us to have the exclusive first look at some of their interviews from the press junket. We've already posted the interview with David Benioff and Dan Weiss, but lets follow that up to revisit with Charles Dance, aka Lord Tywin Lannister, whom we have recently interviewed ourselves.
You'll get a bit more information… including spoilers, both for the first three novels in the series and for this season, so don't play the video if that's a problem!
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

True Tolerance Means Stopping Homosexuality
Homosexuality is one of the greatest threats to America.
Even as you sleep, individuals who classify themselves as 'gay' are lobbying Capital Hill, trying to find a way to force America to accept homosexual lifestyles as a cultural norm.
These gay people attack our children with unwanted thoughts, despite the viewpoints of parents.
Gays seek to force our children to accept homosexuality, despite our outlook on life or belief that marriage should only exist between man and woman.
These actions show the growing intolerance of homosexuals and their relentless endeavor to strip our rights to boycott them and ensure they never have the 'right' to marry. It is not a natural right to homosexuals, for a gay mindset is not an inherent part of nature.

We are two best friends who created a community for women to connect, encourage and inspire one another. Around the Way Curls is an online publication that infuses pop culture and issues of women's interest with an emphasis on the beauty, originality and spirit of naturally kinky, curly hair. With hair as the catalyst, we work hard to deliberately re-define what beauty is and to re-condition women not only to embrace their natural state of being, but to value their individual uniqueness and overall worth. We want every woman to know that it is our birthright to be beautiful. So as they say, let's hear it for the curls from around the way.

The Fort Worth Star Telegram reported on Saturday that Gov. Rick Perry of Texas has fired back at the felony indictment handed down against him on the charges of abuse of office and coercion. It suggests that he means to fight the matter in the court of public opinion as well as in the actual courts. In the meantime, Perry is getting support from an unlikely group of liberal Democrats.
Typical was a tweet by David Axelrod, a former consigliore to President Obama. "Unless he was demonstrably trying to scrap the ethics unit for other than his stated reason, Perry indictment seems pretty sketchy." Liberal journalists such as Jonathan Chait. Ari Melber, and Timothy Nash also expressed serious doubts about the indictments. Nash tweeted, "I think you just messed up big time."
All of this suggests that Perry, besides attempting to quash the indictment as quickly as possible, intends to fold the matter into his own political campaign. He will depict himself as the persecuted conservative hero under attack by a corrupt, liberal legal establishment in Austin's Travis County. Axelrod and company seem to be afraid that he will succeed in this and emerge stronger than ever, catapulting his way to the presidential campaign.
Remember the issue is about a district attorney named Rosemary Lehmberg who was arrested and served jail time for a DWI. The video that has gone viral on the Internet shows her behaving outrageously and abusive to law enforcement officers. Perry was using his veto power to get her to do what most would consider the right thing and resign.
Those who are, in effect, waging "lawfare" against Perry are going to have to explain why they seem to be defending a drunk driving DA who is a convicted criminal and yet still refuses to resign. However the legal process proceeds, this is going to be a hard thing to sell. It may become a case of striking at the King and failing to kill him.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will launch its "Tips From Former Smokers" campaign July 7th with a series of hard hitting ads aimed at helping people quit smoking by highlighting true life stories about the devastating effects of smoking related illnesses.
"These new ads are powerful. They highlight illnesses and suffering caused by smoking that people don't commonly associate with cigarette use," said CDC Director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H. "Smokers have told us these ads help them quit by showing what it's like to live every day with disability and disfigurement from smoking."
This year's ads will feature a number of people who have suffered devastating illness and other affects from smoking, including Amanda, who's habit during pregnancy illustrates some of the health problems it can cause for unborn children, as well as "Brian, 45, whose smoking and HIV, a harmful combination, led to clogged blood vessels and a stroke." Other participants include Brett, 49, and Felicita, 54 who lost most of their teeth due to gum disease, as well as Shawn, 50, who now breathes through a hole in his throat due to smoking related cancer; and Rose, 50 who has endured chemotherapy and radiation in her fight against lung cancer.
The ads will run for 9 weeks on TV, radio, online, and movie theaters, as well as in print in newspapers, magazines and billboards in both English and Spanish. Readers can also view the CDC's video at http://inr.synapticdigital.com/cdc/tipsfromformersmokers/
Despite the fact that the CDC's "Tips National Tobacco Education Campaign has helped "hundreds of thousands of smokers quit since it began in 2012, according to the Agency's National Adult Tobacco Survey, over 1 in every 5 Americans use some form of tobacco on a regular basis, whether it is cigarettes, cigars, pipes or hookahs, etc, not to mention e-cigarettes.
