At the risk of sounding repetitive: HBO’s Game of Thrones delivered record ratings yet again. Sunday’s episode, “First of His Name,” delivered 7.2 million viewers for its first airing at 9 p.m., then totaled 8.6 million including encores for the night. Overall, Thrones is averaging a whopping 17.8 million viewers this season across all platforms, up 24 percent from last year.

Not unexpected, and it just gets better this season from here on out.  And then the show has to start fixing the books.

I'd bet money it'll look like this:

S5 2015=AFFC/ADWD/one TWOW arc
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Bran, possibly Sansa too
[close]
S6 2016=ADWD/parts of TWOW
S7 2017=TWOW/part of ADOS
S8 2018=ADOS

This season already is doing three AFFC/ADWD arcs and will get close to finishing them.
spoiler (click to show/hide)
-Theon: I'm pretty sure his arc will end with him meeting "Arya" and traveling to Winterfell
-Brienne: The actress mentioned she bites someone's cheek off this season so we'll get the Rorge/Biter fight. I think she'll be taken to Stoneheart for the final scene of episode 10.
-Dany: The bones of the farmer's daughter will happen in episode 10. There are rumors that  she locks the two dragons up this season/Drogon escapes.
-Bran: Bloodraven and Leaf have been cast this season
[close]

I really think they'll cut nearly every new POV from AFFC except Arianne. They might also mix Euron and Victarion into one character, or replace one outright.

that first Captain of the Guards chapter is one of my favorites in the series. Very evocative dialogue and a great look at the weight power puts on responsible rulers.

Just started binge watching this over the weekend. On S2 Ep4 and omg this show is amazing. I have to watch it when there is no one around though 'cause any minute can cut to someone getting pounded from behind.

I’ve been arguing for years that the sex pirate is the most relatable character on Game of Thrones because he swears allegiance only to House Party.

It all almost worked, too. Tywin was moments away from having Tyrion banished to the North and Jaime exiled to eHarmony.com when someone overplayed their hand.

Don't care about the line. It was cool in the book, but "your sister" makes perfect sense for the show. Catelyn was rarely called Cat in the show, outside of Robert calling her that in the pilot and Littlefinger saying it a couple times in S2.

The scene was nice, outside of some odd FX I guess.

This week we have it hot and straight from HBO, like wolf bread. For the fourth time this season, a new series high record has been set this Sunday. 7.2 million people have watched Game of Thrones as it first aired, and the combined number for the night reached 8.5 million. (We will get some more details tomorrow to see how the exact numbers relate to the previous record of 7.16m).

Nerds are mad that Littlefinger didn't say "Only Cat," which is the line used in the book. "Your sister" works better for the show since Catelyn was only called Cat a few times.

Nearly everything about the scene was faithful. Who cares, nerds.

Nah, they moved the exposition to a spot where it didn't make sense. I can buy exposition/confessions under duress, ie Lysa hysterically threatening Sansa's life while reciting the things she did for LF. Whereas in the show she confesses randomly with no driving reason.

He's been great IMO, even in the brothel scenes I didn't like. The show really seems like it's perfect for actors because there are so many great roles available. From what I've read, the guy who plays Oberyn was a huge fan of the show but didn't think it had any roles he'd fit in...then S4 casting calls went out and boom, perfect character for him.

Plus there's so much dialogue available that is just great. Oberyn's monologue to Tyrion is almost word for word from the book. I bet there are a lot of actors and agents reading the later books looking for stuff like that.

ADWD:
spoiler (click to show/hide)
For instance Wyman Manderly, who completely steals the show in that book. A small role but it has enough solid existing material, and the potential for other stuff, to make it quite appealing.

Also: Doran Martell. Imagine someone like Ghassan Massoud with those scenes from AFFC/ADWD.

The OP had a misunderstanding and ultimately had it cleared up, but to make a more broad point...I've never understood why people are so quick to accuse authors of somehow advocating bad shit that characters in their novel believe. I know people who have accused Cormac McCarthy and Mark Twain of being racist...because of certain characters or language in their work. It just baffles me...

And to judge Martin based off Victarion, one of the worst (albeit badass) human beings in the series...c'mon son :heh
