CHILLS!

Saw the trailer for this earlier today, and it looks pretty goshdarned epic.

 

I like this already!

Is this a video game or a movie?

[Emperor]

I don't know to respond to you Krak.  It wouldn't make much sense for HBO, a cable TV station, to make a video game.  So since HBO is in the title,  I am going to deduce it is a show for their channel. 

 

I am feeling very snarky today...

I think this marks the start of a killer year for HBO. THE PACIFIC in March, TREME (new project from the makers of THE WIRE) in late spring, TRUE BLOOD Season 3 in the summer, BOARDWALK EMPIRE (1920s Scorsese gangster epic) in the autumn and then GAME OF THRONES (hopefully) in January 2011. Awesome line-up.

Ok see some real potential here but this episode ran really slow.  Once the steam starting picking up they rolled credits.

If this is any where near as good as Bond of Brothers it's going to rock.... unfortunately I'll have to wait for the DVD as I don't have HBO... :(

Comparing Episode 1's from each.. BoB was much better.  I think this is because we step right off in BoB with us getting to know the characters... and also feels like a start while TP was more of jump right into type thing.
