I haven't read the books, but going by that amazing and informative trailer, I'm just going to make a few assumptions here: Robb Stark is going to die at his the Frey's wedding, Bran is going to turn into a tree, Stannis will remain awesome, nothing of importance will happen, and Tywin and Dany will poo poo themselves.

Am I close?

Very close. Must be a very well done trailer or you have some awesome predictive skills.

I humbly request that Maester Martendale have a larger role in A Clash of Kinks. His introduction and Kate's observations of him were some good poo poo.

So close, Robb dies at his stupid uncle's wedding; Robb already got married to the non-Frey girl last season.

So, I haven't been paying too much attention recently. I know that WoW is never coming out, but has GRRM said anything in the past 2 years about writing a single word of it? Has he got so fat that he's not even bothering to give people false hope anymore? I feel like false hope is an integral part of the ASoIaF experience, and new fans are really missing out.

As a newer fan I agree. I wanna have some hope and then have George crush it literally. Estimated 2015 release isn't doing it for me.

Seriously, AGOB can't compare to ASOIAF unless it has at least some constantly-used phrases. It is known.

"It is brown" ( pronounced "Brone" which leads to endless confusion and hijinks!)

Instead of "The Lords Kiss", use the "Peasant's Snack", and never really describe what it is, just hint at stuff, that is different each time.

Sex moves all revolving around food:

"Sack Lunch"
"Lemon Twyst"
"Pot's Pie"
"The Dornish Pepper"

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Man, it's annoying trying to hold a conversation with someone on that video when youtube demands I fill out capchas endlessly to prove I'm not a bot. I mean, I am, but not the kind they think.

The best part of that trailer is all the people in the comments constantly asking over and over again what the lovely song is, just non-stop. No one reads the comments to find out, just blindly asks and what? Probably doesn't even stick around to see if they get answered, then posts again a few hours later on their fiftieth watching.

The wisest thing ever said is "view the internet like there is no comments section".

Fox News, Reddit, and YouTube are in a three way tie for absolute stupidest userbase and most asinine comments sections. It's really for the best that you never read them.

Unless it's to spoil them.

Yeah, I was spoiling them a while back, but someone else has bravely taken up the torch, so I just upvoted their comments endlessly while downvoting anything critical of spoiling.

When I think George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, I think crappy pop music playing in the background while dudes with swords and shields run through fields of grass and snow.

edit: I mean I know that's all that happens in ADwD (only with Dany making GBS threads while all this is happening), but come on HBO! ASoS is the best book of the series and this is what you show as a promo to the live-action adaption of it?

It's a shame because last season had a pretty cool trailer.

And I'm torn on whether I'd want them to change Dany's story so drastically. On the one hand, it'd be so much better than the books; on the other, I'm not sure if I want that because I'm spiteful.

The Sandor and Berric fight, Joff's Wedding and the Red Wedding are the things I'm most excited to see. And the battle at Castle Black was pretty ballin' but that'a probably being saved for next season since 10 episodes of Brienne visiting villages and Vikings holding an election is probably going to get old fast.

I can't imagine they'll do both the Red Wedding and Joffrey's wedding in one season. I can see the Red Wedding this season, and then Joffrey's wedding in the middle of season 4.
