Worth noting that The Wire never got canceled. GoT will probably have a much larger budget, of course, but it's also got a small (for TV) fan base before even airing. Then there's the absence of any other really good fantasy TV series, and the fact that the LotR movies, Harry Potter etc. have brought fantasy more into the mainstream. Lots of factors to consider, but I think there's plenty that are going to work in the show's favor.

(spoilers)

Just to add a bit, I think they'd have to change the dynamic of the scene a little for it to make sense. Robb wouldn't sit down to have a lengthy discussion over strategy between the Whispering Woods and freeing Riverrun. So having the King of the North thing come about as a response to a reasoned ruling out of all the other choices won't work. What will work is running with the "feeling invincible" thing you mention and have one of Robb's lords just start yelling King of the North out of the blue, and everyone picks it up.

The downside of course is that the viewer wouldn't get the reasoning behind it laid out, but they could potentially still do a similar scene to the one in the books when he's getting the riverlords to join up.

No significant ones. George has said Jory will probably be the only Stark guard in King's Landing with any lines, but other than that.

This fills me with what can only be described as glee.

Well, yeah. Winter hadn't posted yet when I wrote that, and I don't follow fantasy hotlist.

He's one of the many Pates.

The only Pats listed on towerofthehand.com are Patrek Mallister and Patrek Vance. Neither really seem to have done anything memorable. Guessing if it is in fact a reference to something he just wrote that it's a Pat we don't know yet. Or possibly one of those two becomes vaguely prominent. Still, the death of a character seems a rather big spoiler for him to just come out and tell us, even if it's a minor one.

There are also a whole slew of Pates, but Pat seems like a rather strange and unnecessary abbreviation for that.

That is nice. Something like the faster instrumentation early on could definitely work. Kind of upbeat and exciting, with some somberness mixed in from the piano. I'm imagining a similar song where it stays fairly fast and instrumental, but the tone gradually shifts towards the somber and foreboding by the middle, with a shift to even faster, drum-heavy stuff by the end.

Same on all counts. I'm hoping for minimum nerdrage.
