Game of Thrones *Spoiler* Thread
There's been some recent confusion with the old spoiler thread, so I'm kicking off a new one for tonight's premiere. This is going to be the one for folks who've read all the books. So anything anybody might want to talk about is in bounds. Suffice to say, if you haven't read the books, you'll probably want to stay out of here until you do...
I'll bump the old spoiler-free thread shortly in case anybody's interested. For future reference the link to that one is here |

Great call. That would be the shit for sure, especially to those who haven't read the books.

They are going to have to show how she is brought back or else it won't make sense to viewers. Speculation is Beric Dondarrion sacrifices himself to give his ability to escape death to her which is how she ends up leading Beric's band (at least it appears she is leading them when she kills that Frey guy in the epilogue). Maybe we'll get something explicit in the show because it won't make a lot of sense for her to just pop up and be alive again.

That is near the end of A Feast for Crows, so it's been basically an entire book between readers finding out she's "alive" and finding out how it happened.

Screw LS. Bloodraven will be epic and people will rejoice. But you know what guys? If they need a break or something for the books. They could do the Dunk and Egg tales as a season. Now that would be very, very shway.

In a perfect world, ASoS would be two seasons with the first dunk and egg tale as a HBO movie in between them.

I've read AFFC, but it's been a while and I read it quickly the first time through wanting to know what happened next. I'm re-reading AFFC and ADWD right now simlutaneously following a chapter list for that purpose that I got from the Tower of the Hand site. I'm enjoying the re-read because I can focus in more on the details and foreshadowing, and I like doing the two books combined since I get all the characters that way. More like how the show would do it I guess. |

Looks like Season 3 episodes are going to be longer!
Episodes will be 56-57 minutes long instead of the standards 52. Article here: http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/12/18/ga...nger-season-3/

Not related to the show, really, but Martin's released a new sample chapter for TWoW, called "Arianne", featuring Arianne Martell: http://www.georgerrmartin.com/if-sample.html

I had to put the book down and walk away for a while after that chapter. The ending of the book some what made up for it but, not enough. Absolutely heart wrenching.
