Due to me listening to the Audio books it's kinda hard not to think of characters as being 30+ years older then they are. So Stannis is pretty much a bulkier Tywin in my head.

- A few tiny, blurry screencaps of Ygritte from an Icelandic set report (scroll down past Gemma Arterton)
The video was subsequently taken down, presumably at HBO's request.

Would like to say I'd Hit It! But that picture is just too blurry. Would love to see a picture of Qhorin Halfhand surface. He's my favorite character from the books. I would definitely hit the Halfhand no matter what! My body is ready for you, oh fingerless champion of badassery!

I took a stab at what I had envisioned the Season2 promo to be. Not much to work with, but here is my sloppy rendition of Stannis:
Font doesn't fit on Clash of Kings, but great picture, good work!

Hey, that's pretty cool. Mind if I use it in an upcoming WiCnet post? Will properly attribute you, of course.
I thought the pictures of the woman in red was Melisandre for a bit. Nice legs.
Why are there four thrones?

It's a parody of the fact that multiple people could rule the throne.

I am terrible at typefaces, so I didn't even try. Slapped a gradient on it and called it day.
Oh dude, yeah sure. I guess. I don't know if its worthy and whatnot, but ok. And great work on WiCnet, btw.
Those pics made it pretty hard....dayumn.
Cool, thanks! I will attribute you via your Neogaf username, unless you want something different. If so, let me know via PM. Glad you like the site!

Just started Storm of Swords. What the fuck, Catelyn.

- WiC.net: How Will HBO Market Season 2?
PhoenixDark
Banned
It seems to me that having Dinklage (Tyrion) as the "main" character in the marketing would make the most sense. The early books are in many ways about various character's turns at the game of thrones, or governance. In GoT we see the realm ruled and impacted as Ned saw fit, from his compassion for smallfolk to his fateful decisions that lead to war. In ACOK, it's Tyrion's turn to not only govern, but defend the crown.
With that in mind, I'd imagine Tyrion will be on the season's main advertisement poster. Will he be sitting on the throne like Ned? Who knows; if so I'd imagine the shot will be more zoomed in a bit heh, as having the diminutive Dinklage sitting on the chair with his legs dangling about could be odd.
I would like to see the throne angle continue, personally; the show is called Game Of Thrones still, afterall. Seeing new claimants such as the (much improved looking) Renly on the throne as well as Robb, Stannis, and Joffery makes sense, as does a subtitle along the lines of "Kings Will Clash."
Also, I wonder if the advertisement will show the dragons?

Doubtful. HBO has been downplaying the fantasy elements since the beginning. It's a huge turn-off for some people.
I expect to see Tyrion on the throne, sitting sideways all laid back and wearing his Hand pin.
maybe with a pimp cane

True, but book one has a pretty small amount of fantasy/magical elements to begin with. later books spoiler-ish:
They seem to become more prevalent in the rest of the books.

I have a feeling if the fantasy is a huge turn off for some people they probably shouldn't be watching a fantasy TV series.

Still though, especially after Dinklage's Emmy win, HBO is probably going to highlight Tyrion above others for this season.

I think people are willing to make an exception for grounded fantasy like this. Also, the wights are basically zombies, and everyone loves zombies.

I'm lttp on this. But I recently marathoned GoT and I friggin' love this show. I haven't been this hooked on a show in forever. I'm trying to stay spoiler free and have avoided the books, but it's not easy. I don't know if I can hold out until the new season. Such an awesome show.
Glad you like it. I think at this point, most of us have read the books. I didn't start reading them until after Season 1 began, but I quickly went through the five that are out now. I'd recommend sticking to this thread, since the others are pretty heavy with the book spoilers.

WiC mentions Buster Reeves isn't working on S2 according to the video, which might be a good thing imo. To me some of the fights in S1 were very odd looking, especially Ned v Jaime. I didn't expect a Spartacus-esque duel, but everything seemed so slow during that fight. To me the best fight was the mountain ambush

Yeah, the ned vs jaime fight wasn't very good. Sometimes their swords would get to their mark too slow. Though only cool part was when Ned punches Jaime in the ribs. I like how they gave the North the dirty fighting style.

I know.
Plus, iirc, Tyrion has the most chapters in Clash of Kings anyway.

Commercials for season 2 should just be scenes of Tyrion with this playing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCIUf8eYPqA

Didn't I read somewhere that all the dicks were prosthetic, at least Hodor's?
Hodor walks around Westeros with a prosthetic dick on?
Yes, it was a prosthetic. But that just means that Kristian Nairn doesn't have a big enough dick to match the epic size required to accurately depict Hodor's manhood.
The King's Hand indeed.Hell, they could just use this picture.
I thought the Bronn fight was weird. I mean, I understood what they were going for, they wanted the audience to be surprised that the sell-sword beat the noble knight. But they made Bronn a little too much of an underdog, he is supposed to be a straight up badass in the books, and they made him kind of awkward in that fight.

The books are even better and the voice actor from the audiobooks is great. So fuck yes.
