Game of Thrones (spoilers)

[OumaFan]

That is the mega-theory of the whole series. Its very veiled though, at least if you're reading the first time and you don't have any idea about it. I didn't catch it, although I heard about it later and thought it made sense.

I wasn't going to say anything about it. I'm not sure if its a spoiler though since its just a theory.

To be fair though Martin probably hasn't told Bean one way or the other.

having not read the books I felt cheated by the ending

where was by battle ?!? goddamnit


Still don't know anyones name - and who is that old bloke again who was talking to the whore about Kings about ten minutes from the end ??

They skimped on the battles big time. They're trying to keep the budget down, that's what got Rome cancelled but they're going to have to show some in the future.

Anyway, the fifth book came out today. Its been fucking ages since the last one.

I'm only a quarter of the way through the first book, so I'm waiting for the paperback.

3/4 of the way through Game of Thrones, god I read slow.

At any rate HBO announced today that season 2 will also be 10 episodes. They said if the get renewed earlier for season 3 they will be able to do 12 episodes max for that one.

Are there any spoilers about books 2-5 in this thread? I've been avoiding it because I want to be surprised.

Aside from Ouma's hints, I don't think there's any spoilers from 2-5....................yet.

[OumaFan]

A few things I said may have been indirect hints so I might go back and delete them. I haven't read book 5. Not even started it although I did go out and buy it.

Dear God Bilbo I don't think of myself as a heavy handed mod but that's about the most over the top spoiler I've ever seen. It wasn't even totally accurate but it was close enough. For the sake of people like Killer who are reading the book I've just deleted that. Its one of the bigger spoilers in the entire series.

[OumaFan]

I've deleted a couple of things I said earlier in the thread which were unintentional hints about which characters haven't been killed off. Pretty spoiler free now going forward.

Which spoiler was slightly wrong? The deaths of Catelyn and Robb Stark or the horrendous fate that befells poor Jon Snow?

Alright trucking right along, finished Game of Thrones, and I'm about 150 pages into Clash of Kings. I noticed they took a few chapters from Clash of Kings and put them in the Game of Thrones mini-series. I feel they could have left out those things and instead spent more time on the battles, although I'm sure that would have been a much more expensive way to go.

Have Catelyn and Robb died yet or have you not read that far?
