Which scene was this?

Spoiler: s3e4 ending (click to show/hide)

Dany gets the unsullied army, frees them, slaughters all the slave masters, leads the army into the desert.

The person least likely to die is Arya. She wouldn't spend all those books of narration time accumulating personal power only to have it disappear. She'll do something with that power, when she does the field'll be more even. Then Tyrion will be the least likely person to die, followed by Danaerys and Sansa.

If anyone really believes that Jon Snow's dead I have a couple of bridges for sale...

If he is, Bran or Dany are basically the only hope for Westeros.

Jonny Snow is going to live. Too important to die.

Dany gets the unsullied army, frees them, slaughters all the slave masters, leads the army into the desert.

ALL SHALL BURN

[Scoops Novel]

I have only seen short bits of this series, and read about it's plot and characterisation.

The series is irritating. It's makes it worse that GRRM has stated he has does not have an enormous amount of control about it either. I can deal with most of the age switches, maybe the cast switch ups (*shrug* I'll develop this later), and a good bit of the casting, but it is irritating. The best fuckup they've done is the Imp, and it's still a fuckup. Tyrion is sympathetic, yes, but it's punctuated by playing up the reputation he's been given. Tyrion has a sharp wit, which is to say it cuts. He is not always nice, or helpful. If they screw up the obvious spoiler here, then the show is not A Song of Ice and Fire.

[Scoops Novel]

Basically, by the time I got to that scene in the books, I was at the place where I was nearly depressed from the slow fall into darkness. (at least, that's what I remember) I believe I fistpumped in real life when I got to that moment. It's a scene I've been looking forward to in the show ever since the TV series was announced.

--

There are some key differences in where they seem to be taking the plot in the show that I am very interested in seeing developed. I know not everyone is a fan of the changes they've made, but I can sort of see where they want to go with it from a production standpoint. The show is most certainly not a 1-for-1 translation of the books, it could never be that in the first place. I like to think of them as somewhat separate things that happen to share ... well, a hell of a lot.

Quick edit: Maybe just don't read the comments at all.

Same here. It's one of those "YES!" moments you sometimes get. As for Pod's skills? I have a vague idea that tyrion may have paid them to say that. Overheard it but didn't watch it however. Regardless, Pod's a badass.

Ha, silly people not having read the books and worrying about spoilers.

Plebians.

I just saw a huge spoiler. I just saw that

Spoiler: huge season 3 future episoes/ASOS spoiler (click to show/hide)

Robb Stark dies at the Red Wedding.

Up until now, I knew what the event was called but nothing else about it. Some book person please tell me there's more to it than that. I don't want to know what, but I would feel comforted if there was other crazy shit that I'm blissfully unaware of.

That was not the kind of spoiler I needed to see.

Spoiler: You really shouldn't look at this then (click to show/hide)

There is no mention of potatoes in the books.

[penguinofhonor]

I'm not looking at it.

[Xantalos]

I'm not looking at it.

Ehehehe.

[Loud Whispers]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Catelyn Stark doesn't die forever. Bendric Dondarrion has died multiple times already and has been brought back to life each time by Thoros of Myr.

Thoros brings Catelyn back to life.

SHE.

IS.

NOT.

AMUSED.

[Gervassen]

The books get tired and lose their pace after the third. I doubt GRRM even wants to finish the series. I want to see how the show redeems the emptiness of books four and five.

Zombie cat is where the plot starts going south like a flock of migratory birds.
