Isn't ADWD the most recent book? Unless GRRM writes another book I doubt they're going anywhere near the latest one

I think I read somewhere that Theon's story on the show is currently into ADWD territory actually

Nobert @ 18/4/2014 16:08 Also, can't take new Daario seriously. Every time they jump from Westeros to Essos during an episode they should change Daario's actor. I just remembered his golden tit swords from the book that he was always thumb fondling - that is another criminal cut they made for the show. We want Belwas and golden tit swords, and we want them now!!!

Doesn't he?



I dunno if new Daario has them but I don't see why he wouldn't

It is. I think the only mentions he gets in the previous two books are just that people think he's dead, people think he's being flayed, and Ramsay sends a piece of his skin to Robb and Cat (not in that order).

I have a feeling that if the show sticks too close to the books once this season is over, the next 3 (or 4) seasons (GRRM said they should be able to get a lot of episodes out of the next two books as he is going to take a long time to release the next book) might be really meh.

I haven't read the books, but I hear that things start to drag by book 4, mostly because 3 is so good. It's like he's needlessly stretching things out just because he's not sure how to properly conclude it. I feel like the whole White Walker thing is really tedious and should have gone somewhere by now.

I won't spoil or hint at anything, but yes, this season is already going into books 4 and 5 (take place at the same time), in some storylines much more than others. The producers seem to becoming more and more willing to change material from the books and that is go

Eh, I think they should be alright. It might not be as entertaining as this season will be, but they shouldn't be bad. Largely because they don't seem to be following GRRM's suggestion - they'll have pretty much caught up with the books by the end of next season, with some storylines being further ahead than others (Bran, Theon, and Daenerys will all be reaching some book 5 material in this season, it seems). I think Martin suggested they could turn books 4 and 5 into 3 or 4 seasons, which I guess they could, but yeah, those seasons would fucking suck. It is a good thing he is not running the show. I enjoy those books, but no. That would suck. They can condense it any take out some of the less cinematic parts and then just move on with the show if he still hasn't come out with another book. I really enjoy the books but I don't have a problem with them doing that.

Back to the show, I just hope that Oberyn Martell keeps getting more and more screen time. I'm expecting him to screw Loras Tyrell after their steamy glances last episode.

I was getting quite aroused when Oberyn's girl was about to get it on with a prostitute and then they cut away from them to Oberyn preparing to fool with the guy, I feel like the show trolled me.

I dunno, considering seasons 1 and 2 managed to cover a book each, and they're only planning on 7-8 seasons currently, I don't see how they could spend that long on AFFC/ADWD. My guess is the next 2 seasons cover AFFC/ADWD, then season 7 is TWOW, and season 8 is ADOS. Though considering how huge the last two books are supposed to be, maybe they'll devote even more time than that to them

Oh shit, must have missed this whenever it was shown.

I'm just hoping we get that damn book 6 next year lol. :)

And Dany is one of my favorite characters, but her story is so unrelated to everything else that is going on so I understand why people are not a fan of her story.

...All this time. All these fucking years.

The greatest plottwist of all....

...We get fucking HBO.

idk what you're talking about, Oberyn/Olyver was the best part of that episode.

I think the writers are aware of the dryness of Dany's plot and will hopefully start spicing it up soon! I'm most likely looking forward to the aftermath of the Purple Wedding though. Even if the slave liberation is slow this episode, we'll have a lot of Lannister angst and accusations flying everywhere. I actually really really hope Olenna and Margaery are revealed as the killers, if it was anybody else it wouldn't be nearly as satisfying imo.

I think it'd be way more satisfying if it actually DID end up being Tyrion. That'd be great. Or Sansa

Or the Butcher's Boy

I'm really excited for the Purple Wedding aftermath, but I'm dreading all things Daenerys because the episode seems to be titled after her.

I feel like we might get Dany last. The episode description seems focused on Lannisters.
