Half the posters in this forum have been made up. This website is a goddamn ghost town.
Why would HBO include the storyline that allows them to introduce a trio of hot, young female characters in a hot climate? What a confusing decision.

The real question is why did they cut it down to three?

Less Sand Snake salaries mean more cash for VFX artists to make dragons and giant golden harpies falling off of pyramids and maybe even the loving Wall tumbling down... if they get to that this season.

and there's such a lack of precedence for HBO taking child characters and turning them into barely legal hotties

Heh what if that Dornish guy Jaime fights is Dorkstar? It could be Areo but I could see them going either way with mentioning not-Russia

Dollars to donuts they're going to have Jaime get seduced by Ellaria instead of Oakheart.

I think Lucy Lawless is in that new Evil dead thing, so that will be cool!

And you think Jaime was going to be seduced by Oakheart? I guess that would add a pretty interesting new dynamic to the show.

They cast Areo Hotah as a large black man so not-Russia is probably just the Summer Isles.

Still really prefer the first one. There was just something so weird about him. Like some kind of animal/man hybrid or something.

He at least looked different and distinctive whereas the new one looks like just about every other generic handsome bearded dude on the show.

The one that's got me the most intrigued is Brienne and Pod in the snow. You think the show would throw us a giant gently caress off curve ball and just send them to The Wall instead of "I'm looking for a maiden of 4-and-shut uuuuuuuuup :byodood:"?

No more of a curveball than the idea that Sansa just went to winterfell with the Knights of the Vale while Stannis is still alive and the Boltons are setup there.

Duh. Dorne is a HOT place where HBO will get a chance to flaunt gratuitous amounts of nudity and that equals big bucks and ratings.

Can't wait for the part where Doran is watching the fountains turn into a soft core sapphic erotica scene.

I didn't realize HBO hired Aatrek to write an episode.

Well, see heroin milk of the poppy inhibits testosterone and thus, hair loss (preemptive: he's juicing too.)

And now that he's R. Strong are we even going to see his head again? Seems like a non issue unless they make a lot of changes.

I'm sure he supplied his own list of "potential candidates" from his own private listing.

And, coming from a book that has various amounts of pedophilia, GRRM probably agreed to many of them.

Daario's line about "always having a choice" is taken almost word for word from Aatrek's trial.

It would be a loving tome, but he'd never finish writing it. Which isn't a bad strategy, mind you.

However, the absolute fucker is not actually on death row and has no reason not to finish the books.

This isn't Middle Earth, Quentin. There aren't enough noble quests to go around.
I don't fault GRRM for enjoying the celebrity status and working on interesting side projects. It's the constant teasing of "Hey, maybe the book will be released in 2015! PSYCH! NOPE!" that is killing me. And I got into the series after season 1 of the show; I can't imagine how rough it is for you folks who've been reading it from early on.
