one thing ive learned from GRM is nothing *has* to happen.

Don't put it past the show runners to fuck it up, though.

^^^They'd better not. I would be bitterly disappointed and would be forced to chop off their manhoods and feed them to the goats.

Ever since I first read about the ToJ in the books I've been hopeful that we would see it all play out on the show someday. I really loved the fight scene in season one between Ned and Jaime (and LOL at the grin on Jaime's face when he discovered that 'ole Ned had some skillz. [You must be logged in to view images.

And then finally add in the drama of Lyanna screaming during the battle (presumably giving birth) and then slipping away after Ned's promises to her and it has the potential of being the best episode ever... as long as we find out the truth about Jon's parentage, of course.

i can not wait for this episode. so glad to hear it will be in Season 6

That would take some serious effort. Goes back to the Two Towers for me. Where do these dimbulbs get off thinking they can rewrite one of the greatest fiction writers of all time? JUST STICK TO THE FUCKING BOOK.

Does anyone know why the producers are killing off characters that are still very much alive in the books? Shireen, Myrcella, Barristan Selmy (although he might not be dead), Stannis (again, might not be dead)?

I'm afraid GRRM let the producers kill off these characters because they will be killed off in the next book.

The show is so drastically different from the book that my head is spinning. I legitimately cannot remember sometimes if a scene I remember is from the show or the books. I picture the show's cast and sets when reading the books now so it can get confusing.

I'm at a point now where I don't think I want to watch the next season or hear anything about it until I read the book, because I don't want spoilers and I think I've already seen some at the end of this season

I don't know what the producers are thinking with Dorne but in the books Dorne isn't a major player yet. The Sand Snakes are imprisoned, Myrcella's returning to King's Landing, there's hints of a possibility of a civil war or usurpation of the Dornish throne but that's about it so far. Again, I think GRRM is letting the producers know what's going to happen in the next book even if it's not all written down yet in manuscript form.

Yeah I used to think Peter Jackson took liberties with LOTR.

Winter is coming, whether GRRM can still write or not. This whole thing went off the rails because Martin couldn't deliver a book before HBO had to deliver the last season. Now they're just making shit up. Lady Stoneheart leading an army? smh
