'Game of Thrones' Season 2 production diary

'Game of Thrones' is still a constant topic of conversation on Twitter and Facebook, despite being on hiatus. The show's recent Golden Globe nomination for Best Drama doesn't hurt, nor does it's appearance on a zillion top 10 lists. After all, it did have two of the best death scenes ever. A crown of molten metal and a pretty spectacular and surprising beheading.

Since the show wrapped, there has been a ton of casting news and recently a look at the teaser trailer for Season 2. Now we've gotten a brand new video showing some behind-the-scenes footage from the production in Belfast, Ireland.

Not only do we get to hear about why they chose to film there, but we get a couple of tantalizing glimpses of characters and scenes that fans of the book will recognize. Actors Michelle Fairley (Catelyn Stark) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) give us a look at what it's like to film in one of the wettest places in the world, but the real treat is a peek at the stunning locations that we're going to see in Season 2. Check out the video below.
