Ugh, just caught that last episode. So much terrible dialogue and tepid unending scenes I had to check out who wrote it and was unsurprised to see that it was good ol' GRRM. Keep George RR Martin out of my Game of Thrones dammit.

Rose-tinted glasses had me remembering ASoS as a good book. So season 4 will probably be good, since this one is just terrible.

It's a pisser the show split the book, because no one can make the obvious "Four Weddings and a Shitload of Funerals" joke.

No we're already there. It's actually Alan Smithee who is a show only guy, but I've made him hate GRRM. True Wildcard I suppose. He just wants to see the hand wipe.

Joffrey's death is surely going to be episode 10, right guys?

In a shocking twist, it's Joffrey who dies at the Red Wedding in episode 9, rather than Robb and Cat.

They're killing him offscreen between 8 and 9 during Memorial Day weekend.

Joffrey walks into the Great Hall of the twins, and everything stops with clanking of forks and a twinging of lutes. Everyone stops to stare at him. Joffrey turns to Walder Frey, to Robb, back to the door, back to Robb, to Walder Frey, back to the door, to the bards, back to the door, back to Walder Frey, to Talisa, back to Robb, back to the door, back to Robb, back to the door, to Robb again.

Roose Bolton walks in. Roose looks to Joffrey. To Robb. Back to Joffrey. Roose fingers a sliver of penis skin in his gloved fingers.

"This," says Joffrey, "is incredibly unfair."

Personally I hope the show ends with ADWD. The last scene will be Emilia Clarke making GBS threads brown water furiously. Then HBO will cancel it.

Crazy old Roy Dotrice made me so sad in ADWD. I wish the people who produced that audiobook took even a moment to see which voices he gave to the characters during previous narrations. Dany is always terrible, but making her randomly sound like Ygrette (or however you spell her name) is just cruel and unusual.

Making him redo the Dany portions with the proper voice would have been even more cruel and unusual though.

Based off some of the people that like the show, I am pretty sure this would only raise the ratings.

I have a picture of me with GRRM. He looks less than enthused.

I hope for some reason it would cost too much money to film Joffrey's death and we just get a recap of what happens from Ros while she porks GRRM's self-insert character (which is all of them.)

The one death from the books I would not mind if they changed it for the show and kept the character alive instead would be Joffrey's, because Jack Gleeson is just so magnificent in the role.

I assume they won't have to cut much out of Books 4 and 5 since half of the chapters are inner monologues about traveling?

You know, I vaguely recall somebody in one of these threads saying it would be hilarious if the Red Wedding was contrasted by Sansa's. Joffrey laughing and living it up while they're all slaughtered would get a timeless reaction from the other thread no matter how jaded they think they've become.

Come to think of it, that's probably how it will go. We'll cut back and forth between the two weddings and there will be closeups of the bands, so when the Rains of Castamere plays the audience will be confused as to what's happening where, and then have the same dawning horror as the characters when the betrayal is made manifest and and and I'm writing fan-fiction to a show that has already been written in a book. Goddammit.

A very brief scene in the trailer for next week would seem to indicate Tyrion's wedding.

I reread AFFC's prologue earlier today.
The main narrative theme of it is a fat loser wants to take a 15 year old girl's virginity.
It is one (of many) chapters that can summarise GRRM perfectly.

I don't think they do. I think Sansa's marriage happens right before the Red Wedding because Tyrion hasn't been married to her for long when he has to inform her of her mother and brother's deaths.

Why does GRRM associate with such an awful person? There has to be scores ofslightly more tolerable GRRM nerds who know as much about ASOIAF as she does, and some GRRM may even get to creep at his leisure?

Except she gets most everything wrong, so what she "knows" is entirely up for debate

" Despite theories to the contrary, it is certainly the case that Jeyne is not pregnant with Robb’s child at this time. "

I agree he probably hung out with other GRRMY-pervs like himself, but that Jeyne lady is in a totally bat poo poo crazy universe. I don't see the mutual attraction other than being different types of creepy.

The doctor is in.

She got in on the ground floor. Like the sports superstars with their leeching entourages, GRRM doesn't want to appear like he's forgotten his roots. Or, possibly, she says the things he wish he could say, but can't.

That'll be five cents, please.
