Jon wasn't really playing Ygritte - yes, the plan was always to double-cross the wildlings, but that was before he wound up falling for Ygritte...Which gave him pause and presented him with a conundrum

At the end of the day, he chose his duty over his own desires in true Stark fashion Proud

Daario Nahaaris got overshadowed in that episode but he is way way cooler in the TV show than the books. In the books GRRM won't shut the f*ck up about how he looks, I think he mentions his hair and gold tooth like 20 times, the fact that hes an extremely capable warrior and has a quick wit shows far better in the TV show

"I do not consider a day lived until I have loved a woman, slain a foe, and eaten a fine meal" ffs :bow:

Also:
"I have no interest in slaves, a man cannot make love to property"

I think Daenarys got pregnant from hearing him say that Laughing

The 4th book is complete and utter garbage. However, the 5th is good again.

Damn...how GRRM is going to wrap all this shit up by book 7 I have no idea.
I found this from imdb..not spoilers...:

"Author George R.R. Martin was asked if he had a resolution or ending to the seemingly endless conflict. He replied that the end would be a cloud of dust or snow being driven by the wind across a vast graveyard full of tombstones."

Lot more characters are going to be introduced. So, considering what he said...fffffff...My brain hurts thinking about it Crying or Very sad

Also, no way did you predict it Gil, not without having seen/heard any spoilers or hints beforehand.

Could you see a betrayal coming? Yeah why not.

Some of the main characters/the main good guy left in the whole show all getting killed? Me has meh doubts son. Me has meh doubts.

I have a question for those who have read A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons .

I'm currently reading the 4th book , though i haven't read more than a few chapters . Can i interchange between chapters from book 4 and 5 ? Is it possible ?

for instance , let's say first chapter of book 4 ,could i go from that to first chapter in book 5 , then chapter 2 in 4th book and so on ..?

To an extend, yes. There are some websites that tells you how to switch chapters from book 4nto book 5.
But i would recomment that you read the book 4 completely before moving to book 5. Book 5 also contains stuff that takes place after the event in book 4. ie, some of the characters from AFFC take over in ADWD when you have read 75% of that book.

It is much more fun if you dont read the 2 books at the same time. It would provide some suspenses about some characters. If you read both the books at the same time, you would immediately know what happened to some characters and that would ruin the excitement big time.

AFFC, despite being the most uneventful of the series, you would find the chapters Jaime, Dornish and ironborn chapters a good read. There are some powerful moments. AFFC also tell us more about the life of the common folk.

Day 2 after seeing 'Red wedding'

11.30am: Woke up, sobbing gently into my pillow. Stared outside the window, questioned if the outdoors was really real, or was it all just some big plot twist hmm

12.02pm: Fully washed and ready, I make myself a coffee to help wake up. I see flashbacks from the wedding, I drop the cup and it shatters. As if in slow motion. I cry some more.

2.20pm: An advert for the season finale is shown, can't help but think of the wolf. Throw yet another cup of coffee at the t.v. Then I proceed to curl up into a ball and cry a bit more. I miss the northeners Sad

2.47pm: A friend calls me, I shout at him and hang up, he's clearly not real. It's all just another plot twist. I cry into my hands, I see wolfs everywhere.

I know everyone is talking about the Red Wedding, but one thing that kind of bothered me was how Bran's arc has been kinda botched this season.

I remember someone saying he's not so interesting... I think he's got some very cool parts and the events in this ep were one of those parts. Instead they've given airtime to Samwise Gamgee and others who didn't need it.

In the book I thought it was perfect the way Bran's crew came across the wildlings and him becoming the wolf and saving Jon could have been a great part of the finale. Instead it was way too rushed and all the minor significance such as Bran fulfilling his abilities, saving Jon at a point where he really needed it and Jon having a fleeting moment where he realises its Bran's direwolf.

Way too rushed... they should have introduced Bran trying to learn how to get into Summer's mind much earlier and built it up slowly.

On the Red Wedding... I was disappointed that they didn't imply that Arya dies too... Its supposed to be a massive bash on the head with the blunt end of an axe, not a tiny tap on the head. I remember that had me really shocked and then it was awesome finding out she was OK. Bizarre they gave up on 2 really interesting things by cutting that out.

Also should have shown Grey Wind struggling more... it could have been even more moving, yes.

Should have cut Samwise Gamgee and Danyaerys from this one... Just focus on Bran and the Red Wedding.

But... fking amazing nonetheless :bow:

Catelyn's performance :bow:

by Tomwin Lannister Tue Jun 04, 2013 3:29 pm

Next time I go to a wedding, i'm not bringing a girlfriend along and at the first sign of musicians on a balcony, i'm going.

Don't care.

Also, the problem with bran this season is compared to everybody else, he's surrounded by in my opinion not very interesting characters. To add to this, for a few episodes running it's just been him having idle chat whilst being carted around in the middle of nowhere. I think it's by comparison a lot less interesting than Rob stark waging war, Daenarys freeing slaves, Stannis getting mixed up with the lord of light etc etc.

I think it'll be more appealing when his abilities play a bigger role, like in this episode.

But up until then, it was just him being carted around and talking about his visions/dreams.

Thank you very much , i will follow your advice.I suppose i should be reading it like GRRM wanted it to anyway

Anyway , i always wanted even more Lannister and their perspective of things and it's so worth it lol.

3:12 pm: got into a state of drunken rage and kept on violently assaulting Arq, came to subdue father only to see turn over his face to see tears rushing out of his eyes. I embraced him as he rested his head on my shoulder and told him to let it all out, he wailed and and cried in a loud voice on my shoulder.

Just like this
