Ha ha, I know. I reread the first two books, but I don't think I could get through any of the others. Just not enough time.

Have at it...
That book took up way too much of my life to go through a chapter by chapter summary at this point in my existence. In a sentence or two, could someone give me something (I want the spoilers).

Spoiler:
Cersei ruins the kings guard
Sam goes to the Citadel
Jamie is trying to fix the river lands
Arya starts assassin training?

And I think that's it. Feast of crows is just horrible. Too much detail on stupid crap and they don't have half the characters in it

Yes, it's coming back now. Arya was the only interesting part and it took 800 pages in between to hear her continued story for 20 pages. Thanks

I haven't re-watched season 3 but the book seems to make it more obvious how much Robb screwed up leading up to the Red Wedding. Or, maybe I'm just more perceptive and picking up on details in the book that I missed in the show because I know what it is leading to.

The Starks make unlimited stupid decisions. I stopped feeling bad for them at some point.

Yes. From the interviews with the writers, they purposely left out some of the details from the book that hinted at what was to come because they wanted the shock level to be at its absolute maximum.

I'm on about page 550 of Book 3 and have come to that realization. Really, only Arya is somewhat smart in her decisions, and even then, she has made some pretty dumb ones. But she at least seems to learn from those dumb ones. For example, she wasted two kills on meaningless people, realized that and ended up making a smart decision to escape Harranhall.

Just read the Red Wedding for the first time. Awesome.

Seems that Martin is revealing more and more chapters from WOW lately. I have not read any of them myself at this point... I would prefer not to, but it's getting harder to avoid spoilers as people cannot resist the urge to mention details from those chapters when discussing certain characters.

I know. Sometimes people start bringing up new details that I never heard before, and I start to thing, "Where are they getting this because I don't remember that happening."

and some people think it's going to be easy to avoid spoilers from the tv show. Take the number of people that read the new chapters, multiply that by a few hundred thousand social media happy people...

Episode 9 should be epic

Post by **the wicked child** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 9:41 pm

Indeed. Reading Neil Marshall's comments about shooting that episode have had me stoked for months. Of course, I could say the same for a lot of the stuff that is going to happen this season...

The fan reactions should be very nice this season.

It's going to be weird seeing Jamie throw Cersei out the window of the Red Keep.
