We'll definitely see the beginning of the Ironborn stuff from AFFC in this season as chronologically it takes place in ASOS. Might even see some Arya in Braavos - I can't see them having Arya trek around aimlessly with the Hound until he gets smoked for 10 episodes.

God, 7 seasons is just shit. And I'll probably have to stop watching after season 5.

i dont like it at all, but i have to agree with you. i'm HOPING they increase to 12 or 13 episodes per season to avoid cutting things out. but i'm thinking most of books 4 and 5 will make up season 5, considering 4 & 5 take place at the same time, its feasible.

but sad fact, it appears they did not cast the role of Coldhands for season 4. and we know they already cut out Loras' siblings (making him the heir to highgarden on the show). i will be REALLY nerdragingangry if they cut out the story of Arya and the Faceless men. the show ruined the Theon surprise, i have no idea if show watchers have learned who the guy is thats torturing theon, or how often we'll see it considering that goes on secretly from books 3-5.

but the Lady stoneheart. i still cant imagine they will keep an actress on contract to only show her in the final episode, its a waste of money from a production point of view.

super curious what the show is doing with Asha (or whatever her name on the show is), shes clearly going for Theon, but if shes to be intercepted by Stannis, then Stannis needs to get busy, he has a bunch of things to do before acquiring the pirate princess.

hmpf

After finishing a storm of swords I can't believe I let the show ruin a lot of the book butit got a lot better at the end!

[Sirken]

oh man.. Storm of Swords is the best book (book 3) by far. and as you now know, anyone that quit at the RW and did not finish book 3 made a horrible mistake. Book 3 really doesnt even get started til the RW. Season 4 should be amazing.

now hurry up and force yourself through books 4 and 5. they arent as good as 3, but if you are into the actual "game" (ie: varys, baelish, the QoT, aka the plotter types), you will enjoy them.

PS- i promise you the books are better than the show, its better to be ahead of the show in the books, i promise you.

^can confirm the above statement is 100% true, and you're robbing yourself of an amazing experience by watching the show first.

Baelish is becoming my favorite in the books...has the best mind and a lack of critical flaws aside from his lusting

[Funkutron5000]

I'd say Little Finger is also the most sociopathic.

[Mandalore93]

That's the best part about him! Diving right into feast of crows!

[Sirken]

Baelish is easily my favorite character.

Tyrion at #2, and Arya/Tywin are tied at #3
