So i know the thread has spoilers in the topic title but just in case ..... don't read below if you have not read storm of swords:





So will the tv viewers see teh Red Wedding coming a mile away? I always thought it would be hard to hide. I hope they build Rob up even more this season and help you fall for him and want to like and root for him.

I hope they keep it as evil as it was in the book with his wolve's head sown on him after wards.

I don't think so. I hope not at least. I mean who called Ned's death?! But I don't think we'll see the Red Wedding until season 4 :x :x But yes I totally agree with you - the more violent and evil the better. And I hope they have that version of the Rains of Castemere from the previews playing, it gives me chills!!!!

I thought 1 and 2 were excellent, then they started slowly rolling downhill...having to make major characters out of secondary characters cause everyone else is dead...

You didn't like Storm of Swords?! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

At the rate GRRM goes, we could be waiting another 5 years for book 6 :x

Hmmm, I think the red wedding ends this half of the season, the other two big deaths from SOS will end season 4.

Dirty. do I even need to say it?

Well, thanks guys for filling me in. So you werent kidding baout the next books.. at least a few years. I'd think HBO would be getting on him to finish. Is each book a season? Or half book = season?

I was in fact waiting for it

Yeah maybe the show will move him along a bit. So far each book has been a season, but the third book will be split into two seasons because there is just WAY too much going on!

I need to read faster so I can start reading more of this thread. Every time I open it, it's with one eye closed.

Season one was Game of Thrones
Season two was Clash of Kings
Season Three will be the first half of Storm of Swords
Season Four will be the second half of STorm of Swords

now there is some overlap some things that happen in season two that were from book three etc.

Books 4/5 my guess will be season's 5,6, and 7

I think we will get two deaths.






I think episode 9 will be the red wedding
and episode 10 pie wedding (i just made that up no one else calls it that)

Pure spectulation on my part

also he is talking about doing the dunk and egg tales for hbo as a mini series.

My brother is reading the books and he just read about the red wedding.
My phone blew up

He was so upset at GRRM.

Did he throw his book at the wall like I did?

I still have legitimate beef with GRRM about Jon Snow though. I must send an angry letter.

He uses his galaxy tablet so i hope he refrained.

The thing about Jon is he can't be dead. If somehow he isand his story is over..... i have a specific set of skills and with those skills i will find GRRM

Joffrey's death I should not call it the pie because it was his wine that was poisened, but all i remember was a pigeon pie made out of like 700 pigeons or some crap like that.

I've got think the RW will be the big episode this year- like you said, probably episode 9. I have a feeling the other big deaths will be saved until season 4. The RW alone will leave everyone talking, and it might be overkill to have them all this season. No pun intended

Forgot all about that bird thing.

I see that as being in season 4 since Red Viper was at that wedding feast. My guess at the time line since no Red Viper this season is that little brat gets his in one of the early episodes in season 4, introduce Red Viper, kill Joffery, kill Red Viper, Dorne in an uproar end the season on a cliffhanger sand snakes planning revenge. Leave them getting caught and locked up for the start of season 5??

Really cool map that outlines the size and shape of the entire world. This is much better than any of the maps in the books.

The lines are supposed to follow the individual characters on their journeys, but you can't zoom in to really see them.
