yeah i was a bit confused since he didn't immediately kill samwell

If you were a scary supernatural being, would you feel threatened enough by Sam to kill him?
But yeah, Coldhands crossed my mind too.
― Liz Leeemon (Leee), Friday, 8 June 2012 01:48 (11 months ago) Permalink
it's never mentioned who coldhands is in the books right? are we supposed to believe that he's benjo or whatver the stark's ranger uncle's name is?
― Jibe, Friday, 8 June 2012 07:08 (11 months ago) Permalink
benjy is the prime suspect

this season was so much better than the corresponding book. arya's story was WAY improved in pretty much every way.

agreed.

so they're gonna start off season 3 with the red wedding? that should get everyone all riled up!

They're STARTING with that? Holy shit.

just pure conjecture, but we've got the background all set up, and it would be a hell of a kickoff. get em yammering at the watercoolers and whatnot.
― messiahwannabe, Saturday, 9 June 2012 03:58 (11 months ago) Permalink
nah they'll stretch it out, red wedding will be episode 8 or 9 of season 3. They're introducing all the tullys from the casting stuff upthread so that'll all have to go down for a few episodes. They'll give us more of the Boltons, etc.
― Clay, Saturday, 9 June 2012 05:11 (11 months ago) Permalink
yeah we haven't even met the tullys yet so there's that whole bit at riverrun to get through first
― ciderpress, Saturday, 9 June 2012 06:58 (11 months ago) Permalink
they also have to set up Beric Dondarrion's death defying abilities
― Number None, Saturday, 9 June 2012 11:46 (11 months ago) Permalink
And the Martells, maybe?
― Ò (Ówen P.), Saturday, 9 June 2012 13:35 (11 months ago) Permalink
Martells don't figure much into RW, though?
― Liz Leeemon (Leee), Saturday, 9 June 2012 16:26 (11 months ago) Permalink
Riiight. So, if they split Book 3 into two seasons, it stands to reason that Red Wedding happens at the end of Season 3, and "RIP Lysa, Tywin, Shae" happens at the end of Season 4
If that's the case, I wonder what else would happen in Season 4, seeing as Theon, Hound, Cat and Robb would be gone/out of the picture. They'd surely have to introduce some of the new characters? I guess we'll be seeing a lot of the Boltons...
― Ò (Ówen P.), Saturday, 9 June 2012 20:10 (11 months ago) Permalink
presumably a lot of the earlier stuff in AFFC would be happening in season 4. A lot of the iron islands stuff happens chronologically not long after Balon kicks it, which is around the same time as the RW.
― Clay, Saturday, 9 June 2012 21:52 (11 months ago) Permalink
Joffrey's wedding happens after the RW, as would Tyrion's trial, which will mean Oberyn (at least).
― gyac, Sunday, 10 June 2012 00:01 (11 months ago) Permalink
they'll also need to do the whole storyline with the Eyrie.
― gyac, Sunday, 10 June 2012 00:03 (11 months ago) Permalink
yeah I'm guessing joffreys wedding/death spectacular around midway season 4 with the aftermath (particularly tyrion's trial lasting longer/being a bigger deal in the show) taking up the rest of that season.

I don't think I've ever looked forward to a scene in anything so much.

what if they kill Tommen instead

definitely give Cersei more to do in Season 5 besides sit around getting wasted

Tommen should instead waste away of ennui

First scene of season 3, Jon Snow administering 'the Lord's Kiss'

Mackenzie Crook has been seen round Belfast with the cast. As has this guy: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1528121/ Nooooo idea who either of them might be.

perhaps edmure tully for the latter?

or either of them i guess

mackenzie crook is creepy enough to be a ramsay, if he can also be sinister
― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 5 July 2012 18:32 (10 months ago) Permalink
mace tyrell is in kings landing by the start of book 3 right? someone will have to be him.
does ramsay actually get important screen time before book 5? i can't remember
― ciderpress, Thursday, 5 July 2012 18:33 (10 months ago) Permalink
He doesn't seem menacing enough to me. I always pictured Ramsay as looking like Glenn Danzig.
― I found him in a Bon Ton ad (Nicole), Thursday, 5 July 2012 18:36 (10 months ago) Permalink
He's far too old to be Ramsay I think. He was ruled out for Vargo Hoat earlier. One of the Brotherhood?

he should've been prominent in the winterfell scenes this past season but they kept him outside the gates. it's confirmed that they are casting him for s3 tho, so they are obv going to establish him with theon somehow.
― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 5 July 2012 20:13 (10 months ago) Permalink
Mackenzie Crook as Ramsay Snow Bolton could actually be genius.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Thursday, 5 July 2012 23:30 (10 months ago) Permalink
Theon isn't in book 3, but the producers are going to include him next year, so I assume we'll get Ramsay too.

More casting: http://winteriscoming.net/2012/07/season-three-casting-announced/
Looks like they recast Beric after all, though he's supposed to be all chewed up and unrecognizable in his reappearance in the books.
Surprised that they went with a well-known actress for Queen of Thorns who wasn't Maggie Smith or Judi Dench. I'd expected a no-name stage actress.

I saw that. It's going to be the penultimate episode of the season. GRRM is doing one script, but not for that episode.

The Red Wedding takes pace about 2/3rds of the way through the book, no?
