He has started. There are at least 2 teaser chapters out on the web.

I have some series predictions here. If you've already read the books please don't comment. I don't want to know if I'm right or wrong, I just want to hear some other predictions and discuss. So here goes:

-John Snow will become king of the Wildlings

-Arya is going to become some kind of assassin/killer

-Arya will kill Joffrey

-Something bad is going to happen with the Robb Stark not marrying the Fray girl thing

-Jaime is going to turn on his family

-One of the Lannisters (Joffrey included) will kill Tywinn

-Stannis's army will unite with the Brotherhood Without Banners (same religious ideals)

-Sansa isn't leaving King's Landing in any way, shape, or form

Any others? Or thoughts concerning mine?

last I heard it was 'estimated' to be released in 2015. Martin is slow writing his last couple of books and apparently loves doing everything in the world but writing this series.

I get the feeling Martin wont finish it and after I got hooked on Deadwood I don't have a good feeling about HBO finishing it either.

I rewatched the first two seasons with my roommate, and practically played as a 'guide' for her as she watched, clarifying the characters, which house is who from, and what the hell is going on in each episode. It was actually amazing to rewatch cause of how confusing it all is, I learned so much more.

Anyway, I wonder if they'll bring back the fact that Jon Snow's mother was north of the Wall when Ned Stark had sex with her. The fact that Ned Stark never wanted to tell Jon her name has me intrigued...

IMO It would be cool if Jon Snow somehow finds out about his mother...and his mother be some powerful figure in wildling history (a former queen/king) or his mother still be alive and because of how prominent she is in the wildling community, it makes him "The long missing wildling son of the great wildling family xxx!" And as a result makes him revered and automatically their leader.


IMO that would be badass for poor Snow. I want something truly good for him to happen....

The Sansa/Tyrion and Cersie/Loras weddings will never happen. No shot in hell.

I feel like this is going to get bad for Rob.

Question for the nerds. When Jaime was talking to Ned's right hand man (Jora I think was his name) in the first season, they mentioned someone riding into battle with his sword on fire. Were they talking about Thoros of Myr? I'm asking because Ser Barriston and Jorah Mormont were talking about Thoros doing something similar in tonight's episode.

Edit: Just found out that it was in fact Thoros they were talking about. And his name was Jory not Jora.

Yes, both encounters were referring to Thoros of Myr. When the Greyjoy's rebelled against King Robert, Thoros was apparently the first one to storm the castle at Pyke, which was Balon Greyjoy's castle in the Iron Islands. Apparently this is an event of some infamy as it is repeatedly referenced in the books. It is confusing with all the similar named characters GRRM uses. Jori was the captain of Ned Stark's guard and Jora Mormont is the one who's helping Danaerys.

There are some great history of Westeros videos on youtube that are on the blu ray sets. They give condensed versions of past events that are often referenced on the show and in the books. Pretty helpful and beautifully drawn.

You could be right since GRRM hasn't revealed Jon's origins in the book series yet, but most people believe, and there have been subtle hints (that could have been misinterpreted) in the books, that Jon's mother was not from north of the wall. That's all I'll say about that. Don't want to get the mod squad after me for spoiling things.

Deadwood started slow but oh man what a show it became. Al Swearengen is still one of my favorite characters of all time.

Great mystery why HBO killed that show, I wish they would have wrapped it up.

I hope they dont do that with GoT.

$$$$

So in essence, the reason for Deadwood’s ending seems to be a financial one. Milch is working on a new series for HBO (John from Cincinnati) and, due to that commitment, HBO didn’t believe that he would be able to return to Deadwood for quite awhile, delaying the possible start of a Deadwood season four. Deadwood is an expensive show to shoot and it’s assumed that the cable channel didn’t want to (or couldn’t afford to) pay the actor salaries for months while they waited for production to begin.

Mystery solved.

Ok another question for the nerds.

I've read the story of Robert's Rebellion a few times (highly recommend anyone who watches the show to do so by the way. Its a 5-10 minute read on Wikipedia and it will answer so many questions for you about the show). So this has always been my understanding: Jaime was part of the King's Guard for the Mad King. The Lannisters sacked the city. Jaime killed the Mad King, so now Jaime is the "king slayer".

My question is this, what did we find out about that story that was so revealing in the bathtub scene? He told the story of him killing the king (that I thought pretty much everyone knew), but at the end Brienne said "if this is true you need to tell someone" or something to that effect. What did Jaime say that we didn't already know about him killing the Mad King? Was it that he tried to convince the king to surrender? Was it that he cut his throat to make sure he was dead?

What am I missing here?

I don't think anyone knew about the wildfire that the Mad King had placed around King's Landing. That was the part Brienne was referencing, I do believe. Jaime didn't want him to burn the entire city, killing innocent children and women, thus why Jaimie became the King Slayer. He chose to save innocent people on behalf of losing his honor. Plus, he did not think Ed Stark would have believed why he killed the Mad King. Hope this helps!

Close on 2 points but hilariously bad on others.

Basically Jamie views that act as his finest moment as he saved the city.

He also tracked down a couple of pyromancers and killed them before they could implement the plan.

I really enjoy how RR. Martin portrays his characters; it mirrors people in real life. No one is 100% good, no one is 100% evil (well, except maybe Joffrey). Everyone is a different shade of grey that can change color in a heartbeat.

Jaime is a prime example; so is Ned Stark (the super honorable "good guy" who cheated on his wife)

there's more that explains it in the book but if I say any more people are going to have a shizz fit.

I don't know about the best one but I agree it seemed like a lot was covered. I love seeing things like Melisandre and Arya's story connecting. That was wild.

-am I supposed to understand the greyjoy plot and the torturer? Is it just a random deal?
Dumb question #2:
I thought north of the wall was nothing but ice. Am I confused? How is the north brown and green and south is icy at the end?
