Are you ready for this Sunday’s Season Two premiere of Game of Thrones? Want the inside scoop on how HBO’s hit show came to be, and what goes on behind the Iron Throne, in book form? Well, you’ll have to wait on that – but like Winter, a new coffee table book called Inside HBO’s Game of Thrones is coming.

The book from Chronicle and HBO is still in production, so we probably won’t get a glimpse of it for the next few months. And in fact, the volume won’t be on book stands until the Fall. But we do have some info for you on what it will contain, right now:

- The book is written by Bryan Cogman, who you might know better as the writer of two season one episodes, and Story Editor on most of the show so far.

- A forward by A Song of Ice and Fire creator George R.R. Martin, followed by an afterword that will be available six years from now. Just kidding.

Anyone who has read George R.R. Martin's "A Song Of Ice and Fire" series, or watched HBO's Game of Thrones knows there's one essential ingredient that makes the world so memorable: the incest. If there's something else that every reader (or viewer) remembers, though, it's probably the food. If the characters aren't eating "crackling hot meat right off the spit," or being described as having sausage fingers, they're eating, or talking about eating. And some of the most important moments in the series happen around the dinner table. Read more...

The final scene in the Game of Thrones season 1 finale was unforgettable.

Last night's episode of "The Simpsons" had Springfield going Westeros on everyone's ass with a "Game of Thrones" intro parody.  Just like in the beginning of the acclaimed HBO series, we see Evergreen Terrace as a gear-heavy, mechanized realm, sprouting up from the ground.  Although you never saw him in full knight armor in the show, I like to think Homer is doing his best impression of a lazy, drunk Eddard Stark.

Parody intros have become typical for the show, but there were definitely a few subtle takes on story related concepts that we thought were hilarious and worth pointing out:

Weirwood tree Grandpa was a great touch.

3 eyed crows: Spawned from Bran Stark's dreams or Burn's nuclear power plant side effects?

Congratulations are in order for Matt Groening and his staff for really knocking this one out of the park.

Before we say anything, just shut up and watch this:

Well that was f@#$ing awesome. HBO even rope-a-dope'd us by starting the new Game of Thrones trailer with footage we had already seen (Cersei entering the Iron Throne room, the burning of the Seven on Dragonstone, Daenerys standing around like an idiot), along with Varys' riddle about power to Tyrion that we saw earlier this year. 15 seconds in, we found ourselves thinking "Is this even new?"
