    Your theory could still be on track..
    Patchface's ramblings about the RW mentioned chains 'Fool's blood, king's blood, blood on the maiden's thigh, but chains for the guests and chains for the bridegroom, aye aye aye'
    Chains probably means dany's "purchase" in astapor.. (i can't put spoilers on with my phone so ill just be vague). It's a massive turning point for her and IMO when her POV chapters really get interesting. It would make sense that GRRM would want to write these scenes.

    Yeah that's what I realised after and put into my edit. The "Khaleesi" fans will love that :pac:
    It's a great scence but for me it's a pity her POV's all go fairly well downhill after that, except for dragon and Barristan related interjections

    All the picture's look class.. I didn't think we'd see much Stannis in this season, they must be beefing up his story somehow. Which is great coz Stannis is a ****in badass..

    Love the music, can't wait! Hate YouTube comments, went in to find the name of the song and spoilers everywhere :( nearly finished the 4th book but read something I didn't know about yet :mad:

    My body is ready.

    Surprised how long they took in getting a full trailer out, but then I guess it has become such a massive hit it doesn't really need the publicity anymore.

    I caught glimpses of comment threads with people debating what X means at Y seconds, but generally I've stayed spoiler-free (though I am completely sick of people eyebrow-wiggling about
    red weddings, whatever that means
    ): I gotta be honest - being completely oblivious to the books really helps maintain the excitement about this show.

    if i were you id stay the f*ck away from forums like this. sooner or later you'll accidently read something you shouldnt have, i ruined a big thing in the third book through this

    There's usually two threads for each episode: one for those who have read the books, another for those who haven't. Granted there have been a few idiots posting inappropriate things in the non-books threads, but otherwise Boards has been fairly safe for spoilers

    Not that big but I'm guessing
    from that scene that it's when they're on the long voyage, so he wouldn't have grown as much compared to when they're in Meereen

    Ya there's alot of that going on! I don't even think that many of those trolls have read the books just read the wiki page. It is rampant from forums, to youtube and even on xbox live.

    In a way I envy you in your ignorant bliss at watching events unfold in series 3.

    I'm interested to see what bits they leave out as well.

    Book readers should be aware that TV season 3 only covers half of book 3 (much like the book itself was split in paperback I guess), so some of the events that people may be looking forward to may not be in this season. More time = more detail so that's all good imo, pity each season is only 10 shows long though.

    They went with a somewhat similar sounding Florence+Machine song last year.
    It seems to go with it inexplicably.

    I didn't think so, song sounds very out of place in the trailer to me. I seem to be in the minority though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,456 ✭✭✭✭ibarelycare


    They've released the name of the episodes for this season:
    Ep. 301 – Valar Dohaeris
    Ep. 302 – Dark Wings, Dark Words
    Ep. 303 – Walk of Punishment
    Ep. 304 – And Now His Watch is Ended
    Ep. 305 – Kissed by Fire
    Ep. 306 – TBD
    Ep. 307 – The Bear and the Maiden Fair
    Ep. 308 – TBD
    Ep. 309 – The Rains of Castamere
    Ep. 310 – Mhysa
    So episode 9 is going to be the big one. That's the way it's gone the last two seasons isn't it?

    Yeah you're right. It's kinda weird.

    It's a bit jarring when there's modern music played in a medieval setting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,640 ✭✭✭✭Witcher


    They don't know what to call episode 7:pac: Been 3 different titles at this stage.

    I'd like to see them get more bands to do songs from the books like they did with The National for the rains of castemere last season.

    To be fair, Book three could easily be broken into two seasons alright. There's AT LEAST two or three potential season highlights (nudge nudge). To be honest, I'd say HBO will probably try to push for 10 seasons (Assuming that it remains successful) They could then do a major restructuring of Books 4/5 for seasons 5/6 (And cut out about 50% of them. [Kind of
    Do we really need "that" cercie arc?)

    [Again, kind of
    I think season 4/5 are going to be the toughest to keep viewers for HBO. I always thought they dragged on an on and on for the main reason of giving the dragons time to grow

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,775 ✭✭✭✭Gbear


    Anyone know what the part with Cat and Robb in the castle with all the dead bodies is about?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,599 ✭✭✭ScrubsfanChris


    Ugh.... The music in that trailer feels completley wrong, dosen't build up any tension or suspence.

    Its Harrenhal isnt it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,775 ✭✭✭✭Gbear

    Why would Robb be there?

    Spoilers probably required from here on in.

    Im just making the observation that it looks like Harrenhal -
    (not sure what they would be doing to have Rob and Mammy Stark there).

    I'm lost as well with that scene... :confused: But true there's a bit of Harrenhall in the trailer :mad:

    As usual they didn't forget to include the nakedness haha

    I'm thinking it may be a scene added in to show the stress Robb is under and contemplating whether its all worthwhile. Probably dialogue going on between him and Cat about releasing Jamie

    How have I just seen the trailer now...

    Excitement is not the word!

    Dragons fool! :D

    I hope they do some dream sequences for arya, when she dreams of nymeria. I think they good do a great job of and they could pretty savage.

    Would it not be Winterfell ? Last season ended with it being sacked and I'd assume first thing season 3 Rob would return once he gets word.
