    It's unbearable isn't it. My advice would be if you have the books, reread them. If you don't have the books, get the books.

    Haven't read them but I will be buying them tomorrow! :D

    Eason's giftcard ftw :cool:

    I haven't seen it mentioned on the thread but George R. R. Martin is writing the 7th episode called "Autumn Storms" so this would lead me to believe that this episode will feature
    Robb and Catelyn et al on their way to they Freys, making sure the build up will be done right and then have the Red Wedding take place in episode 8, as to not fall on episode 9. I would imagine Bran and Jon's close call would also be appropriate here culminating with Jon heading back to the wall

    Well George's episode is now renamed "Chains" so a good chance my theory about "Autumn Storms" is out. That probably shifts everything onto episode 8 now. My guess is that "Chains" is going to be
    Jaime/Brienne
    related?

    Edit:
    It's probably Dany related actually, just needed a few minutes to remember what happened pre RW :pac:

    Your theory could still be on track..
    Patchface's ramblings about the RW mentioned chains 'Fool's blood, king's blood, blood on the maiden's thigh, but chains for the guests and chains for the bridegroom, aye aye aye'

    A new teaser video. Season 3 is beginning to gear up now, appreciate that they used "The Rains of Castamere" too :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,358 ✭✭✭✭Witcher


    "The Rains of Castamere"

    :(

    Chains probably means dany's "purchase" in astapor.. (i can't put spoilers on with my phone so ill just be vague). It's a massive turning point for her and IMO when her POV chapters really get interesting. It would make sense that GRRM would want to write these scenes.

    Yeah that's what I realised after and put into my edit. The "Khaleesi" fans will love that :pac:
    It's a great scence but for me it's a pity her POV's all go fairly well downhill after that, except for dragon and Barristan related interjections

    All the picture's look class.. I didn't think we'd see much Stannis in this season, they must be beefing up his story somehow. Which is great coz Stannis is a ****in badass..

    My body is ready.

    Surprised how long they took in getting a full trailer out, but then I guess it has become such a massive hit it doesn't really need the publicity anymore.

    I caught glimpses of comment threads with people debating what X means at Y seconds, but generally I've stayed spoiler-free (though I am completely sick of people eyebrow-wiggling about
    red weddings, whatever that means
    ): I gotta be honest - being completely oblivious to the books really helps maintain the excitement about this show.

    There's usually two threads for each episode: one for those who have read the books, another for those who haven't. Granted there have been a few idiots posting inappropriate things in the non-books threads, but otherwise Boards has been fairly safe for spoilers

    Not that big but I'm guessing
    from that scene that it's when they're on the long voyage, so he wouldn't have grown as much compared to when they're in Meereen

    Ya there's alot of that going on! I don't even think that many of those trolls have read the books just read the wiki page. It is rampant from forums, to youtube and even on xbox live.

    In a way I envy you in your ignorant bliss at watching events unfold in series 3.

    I'm interested to see what bits they leave out as well.

    Book readers should be aware that TV season 3 only covers half of book 3 (much like the book itself was split in paperback I guess), so some of the events that people may be looking forward to may not be in this season. More time = more detail so that's all good imo, pity each season is only 10 shows long though.

    They went with a somewhat similar sounding Florence+Machine song last year.
    It seems to go with it inexplicably.
