    I hope we get to see Lady Stoneheart. I've heard troubling rumours that she won't be seen till season 5.

    I'm not looking forward to the wedding, I love and hate Joffrey in equal measure so that's going to be bittersweet.

    It's a tossup between Tywin and Tyrion and Lady Stoneheart.

    Seems to be a readers only forum now days. Hope that changes I really enjoy reading non readers opinions.

    Non readers don't really have much to talk about during the off season whereas we can be discussing the new Gregor, Oberyn etc. They just live episode to episode.

    But yeah I prefer the non reader threads too, a lot more discussion goes on in them. The reader threads tend to be 'That is/isn't how I imagined that scene' etc.

    Tyrion & Tywin definitely. I think it's going to be a massive shock to those not in-the-know. I think after the Red Wedding, people are going to expect Joffrey to die but Tywin dying will come out of nowhere.

    It's such a pity that two of the best characters and actors (especially Tywin/Charles Dance) have to go this series :(

    He will be sorely missed. His mix of intelligence and cruelty makes him the perfect character to love to hate. I suppose Roose Bolton in Winterfell will have to do when we finally get there...

    The wedding, the wedding, the wedding, the wedding.... Cersi's reaction to said wedding. It's gonna be awesome. Also, can't wait for Tywin and Tyrion, that's gonna be good, they are both amazing actors so I'm looking forward to seeing how that plays out on screen. Mostly though (in case you didn't realise) I'm looking forward to the wedding.

    Oberyn Martell.

    Not just his fight with the mountain, just his personification of bad-ass.

    The war at the wall is what I'm looking forward to most, if it's half as good as the blackwater it'll be brilliant. I've never watched an episode of anything as much as the blackwater, when the drums start on the ships is the most exciting bit of TV I've ever watched

    I'm looking forward to the spectacle of the wedding- it's so ridiculously lavish in the book so the costumes and food and entertainment should be a sight. Especially hope they include the pigeon pie and Penny and Groat's joust. As well as watching Joff croak it of course. For drama/acting though it's got to be Tyrion/Tywin. They're both among the best actors in the show.

    Most looking forward to the Flaming Stag at the Wall.

    Be interesting to see if post Season 4 if our favourite scenes match the ones we're most anticipating.

    I don't think so this could end up being best season there in the end

    Same as, I really hope the Battle at the Wall and Stannis coming to their aid is as good as the books.

    It really was an epic scale in the book. Hopefully they can do it justice on screen.

    I've got to be honest....I'm not really looking forward to the Purple Wedding.

    Yes, it's a momentous event in the story but I think they somewhat killed the momentum by placing it at the start of a new season. Last year we all hated Jeoffrey but now that we've had a year to sleep on it - it has died down to a certain extent. Jeoffrey's actions at the Purple Wedding with Tyrion will need to set old flames alight for the character.

    I chose Tywin/Tyrion - Tywin is pure scum. I loath everything about him. I can't pay the actor any greater compliment. Charles Dance has done a wonderful job.

    I'd say they will have him acting a total prick at the wedding, we will all be hating him again. ( well I never stopped hating him).

    Yeah, once he gets 'widow's wail' at the wedding he might start waving it about, make a few threatening gestures, take the p*ss out of Sansa etc

    "I made your mother a widow, perhaps I'll do the same with you"
    Evil sneer/smirk at Tyrion. That kind of thing.

    Has Penny been cast? Cue comedy mask for the wedding so they can cast her later maybe?

    So hard to choose just one of those. Can't wait for the Oberyn/Mountain scene... or "Only Cat"...

    I'd like to say the Oberyn/Mountain scene but it's pretty tragic in the end.

    I absolutely loved it as I was reading it until... well... you know..

    It'll be nice while it lasts but it'll be a shame to lose a character who's already looking like an absolute legend.

    Pascal's doing an amazing job. People watching the show will fall in love with him (most have already). Yeah...

    Think there was a picture on here of Michelle Fairley (Stoneheart) in the make-up dept. with the neck wound. I'd say it'll be the final reveal at the end of season 4.

    How do we know that's just not makeup from after her throat was cut in the RW?
