New intro this year:
Been loving the Wired recaps each week. It's been a few years since I read the books and they focus on the differences between the book and show. Spoilers are hidden so even if you haven't read the book it's pretty good.
Recap: Everybody Screws Up in This Week’sGame of Thrones
http://www.wired.com/underwire/2013/...-game-thrones/
I've never been so physically shaken from watching anything (fiction at least)... Sick to my stomach and loving it all at the same time. Just fucking outstanding...
Agreed Joe. One thing I quickly learned about this show....don't get too attached to ANY character!
I knew it was coming and it was still brutal. It was like they made it even worse for the people who knew just so they would be surprised too. They really took the Ned surprise in S1 and upped the ante. I have become obsessed with the rains of castamere song lol.
Did anyone else know there are prequel books?
Quote:
Walder Frey is notable for appearing - as a toddler - in The Mystery Knight, the third of George R.R. Martin's Tales of Dunk and Egg short stories set almost ninety years before the events of the main series, making him the only character to appear in both the prequels and the main saga (Maester Aemon may appear in later installments of the prequels, as he is even older than Walder, and the younger brother of Aegon "Egg" Targaryen, one of the two main characters).
I read the Dunk and Egg shorts but didnt' know Frey was in it...
Yeah I loved the episode and thought the brutality of the stabbing of Robb's wife was the biggest surprise... Definitely put a end to years of speculation that she escaped and had a heir to Winterfell.

Yeah Tyrion is starting to come back as a player... A decent amount of offroading from the book is happening and this season took us to about 3/4 of book 3. Not sure what they will focus on for 10 episodes but it will probably be a ton of detail which is good. Can't wait.
IMO somebody should quickly start writing more books:)
The next book is due in a year.... (also Book 4 & 5 happen at the same time but from different points of view)

You have a source on this? He's notoriously bad for missing deadlines and as such no longer gave them as far as I knew.Quote:

Yes I miss forums also….Facebook groups are so hard to follow. Book will never come out.
