List of episodes

The first season of the epic fantasy television drama series Game of Thrones premiered on HBO on April 17, 2011, and concluded on June 19, 2011, airing on Sunday at 9:00 pm in the United States. It consisted of 10 episodes, each running approximately 55 minutes in length. Game of Thrones is based on the novel A Game of Thrones, the first entry in A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin. The story takes place in a fictional world, primarily upon a continent called Westeros (and on another continent to the east known as Essos).[5] The noble House Stark, led by Lord Eddard "Ned" Stark (Sean Bean) is drawn into schemes against King Robert Baratheon when the Hand of the King Jon Arryn (Robert's chief advisor) dies mysteriously.

Plot

See also: Synopsis of A Song of Ice and Fire

The cable television series closely follows the multiple story lines of the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series,[6] whose author said that the show's pilot script was very faithful to his work.[7] The series begins with Ned Stark (Sean Bean) being asked to be the chief advisor (known as the Hand of the King) to King Robert Baratheon (Mark Addy). Ned and his wife Catelyn (Michelle Fairley) receive a letter from Catelyn's sister, Lysa (Kate Dickie) that gives them reason to believe that rival House Lannister - to which the King's wife Cersei belongs - was the cause of the previous Hand's death. Ned must travel south to help the king and find out who killed the previous Hand of the King, Jon Arryn (John Standing), while trying to protect his family from the Lannisters. As he tries to uncover the reasons behind Jon Arryn's death he uncovers the dark secrets about the Lannisters that Arryn himself died trying to expose.

Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea in the continent of Essos, the exiled, arrogant Viserys Targaryen (Harry Lloyd), son of the former king whose throne was usurped, believes he still has the rightful claim to the throne. He marries off his younger sister, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), whom he has psychologically and physically abused for years, to the leader of the Dothraki warrior tribe, Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa), in an exchange for an army to return to Westeros and take the throne. However, Daenerys' growing love for Drogo and newfound mental strength as the Khaleesi of the tribe mean Viserys' plans go unexpectedly and powerfully awry.

And beyond the wall, Ned's bastard son Jon Snow joins the Night's Watch, an ancient brotherhood sworn to watch over the massive Wall that separates the Seven Kingdoms from the dangerous unknown beyond. But an ancient force, long believed dead, threatens the land.

Production

David Benioff and D. B. Weiss serve as main writers and showrunners for the first season. They contributed eight out of ten episodes, including co-writing one episode with Jane Espenson. The two remaining episodes were written by Bryan Cogman and A Song of Ice and Fire author George R. R. Martin.

Tom McCarthy directed the original pilot, but much of this was later re-shot by Tim Van Patten, who also directed the second episode. However, McCarthy is still credited as a consulting producer for the pilot. Brian Kirk and Daniel Minahan directed three episodes each, and Alan Taylor directed the final two.

Before Game of Thrones both Benioff and Weiss worked in film, and were unfamiliar with working on a television show. This resulted in several first-season episodes being about 10 minutes too short for HBO, forcing them to write another 100 pages of scripts in two weeks. Due to lack of budget the new scenes were designed to be inexpensive to film, such as two actors conversing in one room. Benioff and Weiss noted that some of their favorite scenes from the first season were the results of the dilemma, including one between Robert and Cersei Baratheon discussing their marriage.[8]

Casting

On May 5, 2009, it was announced that Peter Dinklage had been signed on to star as Tyrion Lannister in the pilot, and that Tom McCarthy was set to direct.[9] On July 19, 2009, a number of further casting decisions were announced, including Sean Bean being given the role of Ned Stark,[10] thus confirming a rumour first reported a couple of days before.[11] Other actors signed on for the pilot were Kit Harington in the role of Jon Snow, Jack Gleeson as Joffrey Baratheon, Harry Lloyd as Viserys Targaryen, and Mark Addy as Robert Baratheon.[10][12]

In the beginning of August 2009, it was revealed that Catelyn Stark would be portrayed by Jennifer Ehle.[13] On August 20, more casting announcements were made, including Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Jaime Lannister and Tamzin Merchant as Daenerys Targaryen, as well as Richard Madden in the role of Robb Stark, Iain Glen as Ser Jorah Mormont, Alfie Allen as Theon Greyjoy, and Sophie Turner as Sansa Stark and Maisie Williams as Arya Stark.[14] On September 1 Lena Headey was announced as Cersei Lannister.[15] On September 23, Martin confirmed that Rory McCann had been cast as Sandor Clegane.[16] Isaac Hempstead-Wright was confirmed as Bran Stark on October 14, followed by an announcement of Jason Momoa as Khal Drogo three days later.[17]

After the pilot was shot and the series picked up, it was announced that the role of Catelyn had been recast, with Michelle Fairley replacing Ehle.[18] Later, it was also confirmed that Emilia Clarke would replace Tamzin Merchant as Daenerys.[19][20] The rest of the cast was filled out in the second half of the year, and included Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister, Aidan Gillen as Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish, and Conleth Hill as Varys.

Filming

Most scenes were shot in Northern Ireland. Principal photography was scheduled to begin on July 26, 2010,[21] with the primary locations being the Paint Hall Studio in the Titanic Quarter of Belfast, Northern Ireland,[22] Among other exterior locations, Castle Ward and Doune Castle in central Scotland[23] served as the backdrop for Winterfell. For the initial shooting of the pilot in 2009,[17] additional filming locations included Cairncastle,[24] Shane's Castle,[25] Castle Ward,[26] Magheramorne Quarry,[27] and Tollymore Forest Park,[25] all in Northern Ireland. The show's presence in Northern Ireland and use of Paint Hall created hundreds of jobs for residents, and made the area "a hub for film and television production".[28]

The "King's Landing" exterior scenes were shot at various locations in Malta, including the city of Mdina and the island of Gozo.[29] The filming in Malta resulted in controversy when a protected ecosystem was damaged by a subcontractor.[30]
