I was pretty surprised to find that the books really DON'T have THAT much sex in them, especially compared to the show.

finished the third book just in time!

You only had to read the first half before season 3, the second half is season 4.

still not feeling Ciarian Hinds as Mance

Haven't seen him in a scene yet but I'm skeptical. I'm fine with him being aged up, but I had always pictured him being more charismatic and rogue-ish. Basically like a smaller Dominic West. This is a guy who is on one hand a killer but on the other hand a romantic character. Hinds looks more like a darker Tywin Lannister to me.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #732 on:** February 23, 2013, 04:20:08 PM »

See, that works for me though. I never really thought of him as young-ish or Dom West-like while reading the book, and I think having him very much like Tywin invites an interesting contrast.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #733 on:** February 23, 2013, 04:31:30 PM »

It can definitely work. Hinds is a great actor. My only question is how content he'll be with the role. He has already criticized the show's violence and sex, and I'm wondering how he'll feel about

minor spoiler of ASOS and ADWD

How he'll feel about his reduced role later. If they do ASOS right he'll have some nice content, but after that?

Dickie Dee · « **Reply #734 on:** February 23, 2013, 04:32:22 PM »

Almost makes me wonder if they're pre-planning deviations from the books. Hind's is a great actor but thinking ahead for Mance's ADwD storyline he simply doesn't fit.

Not even really whinging about it - just sort of scratching my head

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #735 on:** February 23, 2013, 08:10:06 PM »

I'd imagine it could be hard to sell a lot of actors on them having significantly reduced roles down the line. Many characters have one book where they're in multiple chapters, then disappear or see their fortunes changed for the worse later. I'd be curious to learn how they sold the show to Hinds and got him to agree (outside of the money).

Same with Gillen (Littlefinger). He's a great television actor and I feel like he's been wasted on this show. I dunno what he's doing, changing his accent with every line, and of course the Ros shit makes it even worse. sigh

Shoulda been James Purefoy, but instead he's on that (apparently shitty) show The Following.

The cut he had in the trailer made him look like a crazy bitter old person. I guess it could work but I prefer the books Mance.

Someone told me it's a good show, dunno. He would be a good pick for Mance, better than West in fact

I'm guessing he is gonna have some scenes with the main characters at the wall in season 4 and then if they combine dance and feast into two or three seasons like I'm thinking they'll do then they will probably move up the Abel story line to season 5.

Episode titles have been revealed.

Ep. 301 – Valar Dohaeris
Ep. 302 – Dark Wings, Dark Words
Ep. 303 – Walk of Punishment
Ep. 304 – And Now His Watch is Ended
Ep. 305 – Kissed by Fire
Ep. 306 – to be determined
Ep. 307 – The Bear and the Maiden Fair
Ep. 308 – to be determined
Ep. 309 – The Rains of Castamere
Ep. 310 – Mhysa

I would advise non-book readers not to look at any Youtube comments right now. I'll make a new thread in a few weeks but until then just remember to MARK all spoilers clearly, and note which book they are from.

If new viewers have questions, the thread should be the safest place for them to ask. IE if someone wants to know a particular lore point or who someone is, etc. Don't google stuff bros, you'll be fucked

Did you bitches cry this hard when they left Tom Bombadil out of the Lord of the Rings movies?

No. Because aside from Strider giving the Hobbits their swords on Weathertop, there's nothing in the film that said they couldn't have run into Bombadil off-screen prior to arriving at Bree.

There are some scumbags on youtube.

I wish comments like that were punished by hard labor in North Korea or something like that. Completely serious here. There are innocent North Koreans who deserve a first world life more than those people do.

But then those Koreans will become scumbags due to the influence of our disgusting capitalist way of life.

Obviously Asha isn't in ASOS but apparently is in this season. Folks on GAF are speculating Balon's death may occur in this season, and that shot of Asha is from his funeral. Could be interesting and set up Euron and Victarion for next season

around the 38sec mark...

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Looks like Melisandre with Thoros. I'm guessing the show is replacing Edric Storm's role with Gendry, so Stannis will be trying to capture him for the sacrifice. If so that's a change I would welcome - it could be very interesting. There's another scene in the trailer where it seems like Melisandre is about to leave on a ship, and Stannis hugs her. So yea, I'm guessing she takes some soldiers and finds Arya/Gendry/Hound/Thoros.

I'll be creating a new thread soon. Triumph is right, don't click on spoilers, trust us. I'll make sure to create some rules and stuff. I'm assuming Beezy, you, etc will have questions for instance, and we'll provide basic answers without going into super spoiler territory.

Also Triumph (spoiler):

IMO we should avoid hyping ep9, simply so it's an utter shock for people. If people expect something "huge" to happen they might be less shocked lol

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #765 on:** March 18, 2013, 01:13:20 AM »

My list would probably be...

1. Tyrion
2. Arya Stark
3. Jamie Lannister
4. Jon Snow
5. Robb Stark

And if I had to pick my king I'd go with Stannis

Kim Kardashians Butt · « **Reply #766 on:** March 18, 2013, 01:16:55 AM »

Why do you like Robb? Book Robb or TV Robb? Even though I like book Robb...to be a top 5 character?

1. Jon Snow (ASOS

)
2. Tyrion
3. Varys
4. Jamie
5. Dany

Tywin as king.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #767 on:** March 18, 2013, 01:22:13 AM »

I don't like Robb, I love Robb. I just found myself identifying with him early, and cheering for him. Maybe it's the big brother connection, plus the almost mythic way he is seen in the North. S2 had many problems and I didn't like what they did with Arya, BUT this sums up my Robb fanboyism
