I'm re-watching season 2, while waiting for season 3. Surprised at how many little details I'd either forgotten, or just missed. Such a great show.

Both seasons are available "On Demand" if you have TW cable.

It's only 10 hours. No problem.

('Mhysa' is a Ghiscari word from the book, which translates as 'Mother')

It appears they will end the season with Dany going all #burnitdown. Pretty good choice. And given the titles, I think I know which episode will have a certain wedding.

Yeah, it looks like maybe the episode 9 trend continues.

I hope that the end would be her taking the second city. They can't wait til the end to do her acquisition of the unsullied, that would be awfully slow pacing for her story. I think that part has to be mid season. Maybe in the kissed by fire episode which could be Dany taking her unsullied and ygritte dying. Which would be a hell of an episode.

Haha, definitely! I wonder what the Bear and Maiden Fair episode that GRRM is writing will cover?

Come to think of it, that song's sung at a certain wedding. Maybe it happens earlier than we think.

It would make sense for him to write it.

I'm thinking the Bear and Maiden Fair will cover Brienne in the pit in Harrenhall, and maybe even Joffrey's wedding.

Are they really going to cram all of book 3 into one season?

No, as I understand it they're going to be committing multiple seasons to books 3, 4 and 5, in some sort of combination. i.e. season 3 is maybe 2/3 of book 3, season 4 will be the rest, and then go on to concurrent events from books 4 and 5, which will in turn carry on into further seasons.

This not official by any means, but it's some fan speculation I came across earlier in the week:

Stumbled across this. The song doesn't really relate with the show, but someone did a pretty decent mashup of the two....

TFK is the tits! You shut your whore mouth! :cuss:

If I've watched the TV show religiously, but haven't tackled any of the books ---- could I jump into the third book and be up to speed? Or should I start at book one, knowing that it will be a re-hash of much of what has happened during the TV show?
