Westeros Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Bryan Cogman (Twitter) probably needs very little introduction to the inner core of fans who’ve been hanging on every word of the show, but in brief, Bryan is the right-hand man of the executive producers of Game of Thrones, beginning as an assistant in the early stages of first season’s preparations and moving on to work as a script editor (sort of) and eventually a writer (episode 4) for the first season. Perhaps his most important capacity, however, has been the “keeper of the mythos”, or as he puts it, “the reference guy,” for the show. That makes him near and dear to fans, and we suspect all the more so when you learn that his fandom predated his involvement with the show…Read the interview, and let us know what you think!Visit the Site!

End of Disc One Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hmm, he said the most powerful scene in the show is the same as the most powerful in the book, which we could probably guess. Well I think the most powerful scenes by far are in the last two chapters. It's a toss up between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMountainThatAbides Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Great interview!Bryan must have felt pretty lucky I guess, although he must have deserved it as well :thumbsup: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Duderino Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Wow amazing interview. Incredibly insightful. Really get an appreciation for how important Bryan and D&D are to keeping the show close to the story we love so much. Couldn't be in better hands from everything I've read ab them. Bn these guys and GRRMs amazing story and characters, this show is gonna be a hit; no doubt in my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser_not_appearing_yet Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Bryan leaving the dream, I'm mad jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 We had rather more detail on the powerful scene as we talked, but for various reasons it was preferred if we just trim it down a lot. So I'll note it here... err, with a little spoiler code, I guess, out of an abundance of caution:For Bryan, the most powerful scene is Ned's death, and he feels the same about the show's most powerful scene.

El Duderino Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Did you ask if he's familiar with some if the main theories concerning some of the characters and how if at all it influenced how they told the story on camera? Also curious to see how there gonna dany's last scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I chose not to ask about theories because I'm fairly sure that he knows for sure whether certain theories are true or not, and so would be in the awkward position of not being able to answer and not being able to say it's because he knows the truth (via David and Dan, who in turn have the details from George).

I'd think they'd want to be up on commonly-held theories so as to better be able to decide which to suggest and which to ignore.And Ran, while I am sure Bryan is doing a lovely job, to quote Catelyn, it should have been you.

Ran Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I suspect they are indeed up on the theories -- especially the elephant in the room, aka R+L=J. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraig Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Interesting. I'd think they'd want to be up on commonly-held theories so as to better be able to decide which to suggest and which to ignore.Yes. GRRM probably had to have a "these are the things that you have to know" chat with D&D. Would love to have been there. :) GRRM probably answered some questions D&D never thought to ask!There was discussion earlier about Robb and Theon's relationship. That is now answered by Bryan...But more than that, we’re going to see a much more brotherly relationship between Theon and Robb,Very interesting. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
