When did the show ever play it for anyone and explain "this is how you know the lannisters are pissed at you"? They recognized it when they fought the bear, apparently. Behind the scenes video and such I imagine. Much was made of Castamere when they got The National to record it.

Bronn sang it last season, Tyrion was whistling it, they had The National play the song during the credits in one of the episodes, it's not exactly the first time its in the show.

Before Blackwater Bronn leads a singalong of RoC. Then the episode ends with The National doing it. (and book readers stealthily make a big deal about it) Then it's instrumental a few times. Then Thoros sings it a Capella. Now it's ingrained in show-only people as "The Lannister Victory Song". All this so when it's played at the RW and poo poo goes to hell, there's a perfect "oh holy poo poo" punch line to it. It's actually one of the most clever things the show has done.

I don't think they are expecting everyone to catch that, just most attentive viewers / book readers. This last episode was pretty much a big "wink wink nudge nudge" by GRRM to book readers.

Didn't they kill the bear, in the book? Maybe the bear lying down trick wasn't convincing enough or maybe they thought PETA wouldn't raise a stink over one CGI crossbow bolt.

I figured they would show bits of Theon torture this season because they couldn't just skip his story for several years. But now that they've shown pretty much everything there is to show before the trip to Winterfell, how are they going to stretch out the rest of his story across 3 more seasons? Also, this was the worst episode so far this season. Great job, Gurm.

I'm feeling the same thing, but for now I'm enjoying the wonderful casting of Simon from Misfits as Ramsay, so I'm not too worried yet. Maybe they're going to step it up a little and have Ramsay's Winterfell party start next season? Though Stannis isn't even on the Wall, and Mance is still North as well, so I don't even know. I'm still trying to figure out what Melisandre is going to do with Gendry - in the books he was the Brotherhood's smith and that was the last we heard of him, right?

This is an oddly specific tale.

One of the more accurate news articles to date concerning Game of Thrones: http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/arts-entertainment/game-of-thrones-to-reach-its-climax-in-2468-2013051368434 quote:Author George RR Martin, who bought Tolkien’s middle initials for $6.8 million at a literary auction, said: “The peasants who fought in the Hundred Years War never knew how it ended. Nor will the fans of Game of Thrones."

That's so appropriate. We are filthy peasants dependent upon our lord, Sir George R. R. Martin the Tummy Tickler, Lord of Castleycake and Lemongarden. When the war in Westeros ends what does it matter to lowly people like us? We will still suffer and get by on the watery shits we spray into the ground to fertilize our meager crops of neeps.Shoehead posted:Wow I can't believe nobody mentioned Tormund talking about loving. I laughed hard until I realized he was talking about loving dogs. Come on, Gurm, get your own canon right—Tormund fucks bears.

Two would be good. Season 4 can be SoS and the rest of ADWD, then season 5 can be WoW and ADOS. Since Dorne, the Kingsmoot poo poo, and Brienne are worthless details, you can cut 98% of AFFC.
